Beef Rendang This Beef Rendang recipe is from a payroll lady at a company I used to work for. It’s her Malaysian mother’s recipe. I still remember, so many years later, how we used to bond over food at the water cooler! I actually first published this recipe a couple of years ago but I’ve made some minor improvements that will make your life easier without changing the flavour at all....
About “Dinner” cookbook “The food you want to cook, eat and share, night after night”, aptly named “Dinner” (no exclamation mark, much to my dismay), this cookbook contains over 130 recipes plus 44 sides, sauces and other extras. Pretty hefty – bigger than typical cookbooks! What is pre-ordering? It means that a copy of my cookbook will be reserved for you just in case it sells out (imagine that! 😱). Plus you will enjoy the convenience of having it delivered directly to you when it becomes available on 11 October 2022!...
A classic comfort dessert, custardy on the inside, golden and buttery on top. The only real question is this: what will you serve it with? Ice cream, cream, custard – or something else? 😉 Bread and Butter Pudding I remember the first time I had Bread and Butter Pudding. I was really cynical. Stale bread for a dessert?? It sounded ridiculous. How wrong I was. If you’ve never tried Bread and Butter Pudding before, be prepared to be amazed because it truly is a thing of beauty....
Grill it, bake it or even cook these on the stove! Prawn / Shrimp Foil Packets WITH Cheesy Potatoes! This is my prawn (shrimp) version of Fish en Pappillote, which sounds super fancy but actually just means “fish in a bag” (it’s French). Finely sliced potato, vegetables, topped with fish, some basic seasonings, herbage of some sort, then baked inside a paper parcel. This method of cooking seals in the moisture and flavour inside the bag, and has the added benefit of less washing up....
Chinese Honey Sesame Chicken isn’t huge in Australia. In fact, I rarely see it on Chinese restaurant menus. My first experience was at a hotel buffet (don’t judge me!) in New York. Then in Vegas. (Ok, judge me!) To this day, I remain perplexed why Honey Sesame Chicken hasn’t made it to our shores. Along with Kung Pao Chicken, which still isn’t huge here though I have seen it on the odd menu in Chinatown....
Once grilled, the succulent meat is at once sweet, savoury, garlicky, and smoky in flavour. The Koreans know a thing or two about good BBQ! Korean BBQ Marinated Beef Short Ribs Korean barbecue is one of the first things that come to mind when people think of Korean food. And it’s world famous for good reason! I love that it’s as much of a social event as it is an eating one, enjoyed by groups huddled around a table embedded with a grill sizzling with marinated meats, seafood and vegetables....
These frozen pizzas are a freezer meal favourite along with Burritos, Cannelloni, Lasagna and hearty Beef Stew! Homemade Frozen Pizzas I always feel smug when I know I have a stash of really good freezer meals. My favourites are things like burritos, stews, soups, quesadillas, garlic bread (BEST standby ever!), lasagna and these homemade frozen pizzas. I have grand plans to do an Ultimate Homemade Pizza Guide one of these days, complete with homemade pizza dough options and the RecipeTin Family pizza menu....
Japanese Salmon recipe This is an authentic, simple Japanese marinade that can be used for any fish but is especially great with salmon. In this recipe I’ve cooked this by pan frying but it is really great broiled/grilled too. With pan frying you get a really crispy skin (which I love) and the wonderful caramelisation, and with broiling/grilling, the exterior is less caramelised making it softer and a bit juicier which is also delicious....
With a pasta salad dressing made with a combination of mayonnaise and yoghurt, it’s still beautifully creamy with all the flavour and less guilt! For a healthier option, try this Macaroni pasta salad with a mayo-free Creamy Lemon Dressing or Ranch Dressing! Macaroni Pasta Salad It’s difficult to imagine a summer with Macaroni Salad. Like Coleslaw, it’s a summertime staple. The pasta salad you keep in your fridge for a quick side for meals and to put in your lunchbox....

Vegetarian Pasta Salad Who would’ve thought those random veggies you’ve got left in the bottom of your fridge could be transformed into something as incredible as this Vegetarian Pasta Salad?? Forget limp, bland veggies sitting sadly amongst tasteless, soggy pasta. THIS cold pasta salad is the polar opposite of that. It’s vibrant, it’s flavour loaded, it’s JUICY, and will make even green-haters scoff down a weeks’ worth of veggies in one sitting!...
PARMESAN BISCUITS My mother makes these incredible parmesan biscuits that I frequently beg her to make. Until recently, I had no idea they were made with just 3 ingredients: butter, flour and parmesan. Nor that they took all of 2 minutes to make the dough. “Why didn’t you tell me before?!” I exclaimed. “If I’d known they were that easy, I would have been making them myself!” “I don’t know,” she said calmly....
After a (very!) extended water break, the inaugural Holiday Salad Marathon has resumed! Today – making the most of juicy summer peaches (again): #19: Peach Salad II with Poppyseed Dressing Peach Salad I is my luxe peach salad which involves Prosciutto and fresh mozzarella. It’s a stunner, but it’s practically a centrepiece in itself. In fact, I’ve done single serving size portions as appetisers – it’s wonderful! This Peach Salad II is my staple Peach Salad that makes an appearance all through summer alongside “everything”....
Pupcakes – dog cupcakes with fluffy frosting! Dogs eat anything, but in my world, that’s no reason to lower the bar! So these cupcakes are everything you want in YOUR cupcakes – except they’re sugar free and made with dog friendly ingredients 😂: Tender crumb that’s soft and fluffy Moist, not dry – no pooch will ever choke from dry cake in MY house! Peanut butter banana smell that dogs go crazy over...
An elegant smoked salmon egg breakfast I think breakfast is the hardest meal when it comes to being creative. I am always scouring bistro breakfast menus, trying to get inspiration for new ideas. Do-able ones that don’t require gourmet ingredients or special equipment. I like to try to make something different from the usual bacon and egg fry up when I have friends over for brunch. Which I seem to be doing more often nowadays as opposed to hitting up the nightclubs in town....
“Take 10 minutes out of your weekend to prepare ahead so you can get this dinner on the table in a snap during the week.” You don’t ordinarily think of fresh stir fries as make ahead, freezer friendly meals. But that’s exactly what this Sticky Chicken With Vegetable Fried Rice is. To be honest, I’ve never seen a recipe like this anywhere before. Marinating the meat and popping it into the freezer is nothing new....
