Sunday morning Yum Cha is almost a religious ritual here in Sydney. Large groups descend upon vast restaurants from mid morning, with steaming trolleys piled high with dumplings and buns rattling around the room. The familiar sound of bowls being banged onto tables, the bottomless Chinese tea, and the brisk, borderline rude service. It’s all part of the experience. Polite service at Yum Cha is almost creepy. It’s just wrong....

This is a cookbook exclusive recipe! This recipe is exclusive to my debut cookbook Dinner which includes a how-to video for every recipe. Just scan the QR code! Just to explain…. I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....

Another creamy pasta to add to your arsenal, another to-die-for mushroom recipe!!😇 Creamy Mushroom Pasta How do you make a steaming bowl of pasta smothered in a creamy Alfredo sauce even better? Load it up with garlicky buttery mushrooms!!!🍄🍄🍄 There’s few things in this world that can rival the feeling of satisfying a craving for a big bowl of creamy pasta. And this one not only hits the spot, it’s so good it’s going to have you doing the happy dance around the kitchen (because there’s every possibility that half of it never makes your plate!...

To say this thing is magnificent would be the understatement of the year. Words fail me. It’s that good! Flan Pâtissier – French Custard Tart Flan Pâtissier is a French custard tart that is made with a pastry crust filled with vanilla custard and baked. Also known as Parisian Flan, you’ll find it in every suburban bakery all across France. It blows my mind to know that this pastry is so commonplace for the French that to them it’s considered no big deal as far as pastries go....

Grilled Eggplant Any normal person who felt the need for some veggies to balance out all the carbs, cheese, meat and chocolate they consumed over the holiday period would probably post a fresh, crispy, leafy salad. And talk about cleansing and New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier and lose weight. I really wish I were that type of person. If I were to try that, it just wouldn’t be the real me and things would get really quiet around here pretty quickly…… It takes a lot for me to get excited about a salad....

Sizzle aside, this homemade version is a near perfect replica. Even the velveted texture of the lamb! Mongolian Lamb Mongolian Lamb is a Chinese stir fry that’s made with tenderised, marinated strips of lamb in a dark sweet-savoury sauce perfumed with Chinese Five Spice. It’s not an authentic Chinese dish, and almost certainly has nothing to do with Mongolia. The truth is nobody really knows why it’s called Mongolian Lamb....

Nando’s Chicken Copycat – and exciting news!! A few months ago, I got an email that I never dreamed of receiving. {Abbreviated} “Hi Nagi. I’m Rebecca, the editor of Super Food Ideas, Australia’s top selling food magazine….I love the way you write – friendly, understanding and self-deprecating; and also your recipes are fab. It got me thinking, is there some way that we could work together? I think your recipes would be perfect for my readers…....

So fast and easy to prepare, you can make this tonight! Oven baked pork chops recipe I have no idea what to call the sauce I use for these pork chops. I just think it sounds cute to say “country-style rub” so that’s what I go with! (Though from a practical perspective, the ingredients are akin to what I use to make country-style ribs.) It’s savoury with a touch of sweet, balanced out with a bit of acidity....

You’ll love how these are crispy yet juicy, savoury and salty…. but the crowning glory is how the topping ends up like crunchy parmesan wafers!!! SUPER SPEEDY ROASTED GREEN BEANS These roasted green beans are so speedy to prepare and so darn tasty, you’ll be picking at them straight off the pan! This is how this recipe goes down: Trim the ends of the green beans (see video for the way I do this); Pile on tray drizzle with oil, scatter with garlic, salt & pepper, toss; Line up on tray, squishing together....

While this recipe calls for a lengthy list of spices, you won’t need to take a trip to an Indian store to get them – they’re even sold at my local grocery store! Lamb Rogan Josh Rogan Josh is one of the heavy hitters at Indian restaurants, a firm favourite alongside Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala and Tandoori. I’d say Daal is up there too, but let’s be honest – if you can only order one curry, it probably won’t be daal (unless you’re with a vegetarian)....

This version is a variation on traditional Italian Salsa Verde, made with basil, parsley and mint, giving a lovely balance where no one herb dominates. Sharing this as an extra recipe today – as the sauce for Lamb Racks! Salsa Verde recipe Salsa Verde literally means “green sauce”. Different versions are found around Europe (Latin America also has its own kind of salsa verde). This herby, savoury sauce bound with olive oil is used as a fresh and tangy condiment most often served with meats or seafood....

🌶 Welcome back to Indian Week! 🌶 It’s Indian Week here at RecipeTin Eats! And week where I’m sharing 4 brand new Indian recipes so you can make your very own feast at home: Samosa recipe If you think of an “Indian snack”, probably the first image that pops into mind is the humble Samosa. These little fried parcels of flaky-yet-tender pastry, stuffed to the brim with spiced potatoes and other ingredients, are pretty much my idea of the world’s greatest savoury snack....

While Shepherd’s Pie is traditionally made with lamb, beef is just as tasty in this recipe. This is a timeless classic – make this once and you’ll make it over and over again! Shepherd’s Pie When I shared my Cottage Pie on Facebook, there was almost an all out cyber-war about whether it was in fact Cottage Pie or Shepherd’s Pie. 😂 So let me just answer the burning question first, to get that out of the way:...

Shredded Beef Burritos Last week, I shared my Mexican Shredded Beef recipe. Beef slow cooked with classic Mexican flavours then shredded and tossed in the glorious sauce the beef was cooked in. The beef is really juicy, fall apart tender, and the sauce is really something else! To be honest, it’s hard to go wrong with the braising liquid from anything slow cooked. 🙂 The recipe for my Mexican Shredded Beef makes a LOT of beef....

Thanksgiving Turkey Recipes Whole turkey or breast? Roasted or slow cooker? I’ve got you covered! Warm Sides Don’t skimp on sides. Some would argue sides trump the turkey! And everyone loves having choices! Potato Sides Potatoes, cream, butter and cheese. All the essential (comfort) food groups are right here! Breads To slather with butter, mop up gravies and clean your plates … Rice Sides Seasoned rice with golden mushrooms? A holiday spiced Cranberry Rice Pilaf with nuts?...

Loaded onto soft toasted buns with a generous scoop of creamy avocado, this may well be the burger of your dreams! (Great for grilling on the BBQ) Chicken Burgers Chicken burgers have a bad reputation for being bland and dry, perhaps because of the very fact that they do appear on menus as the healthier option to gutsy beef burgers. Flavourless patties, underseasoned, overcooked, dry, jammed in a burger bun with equally unexciting burger toppings....

Healthy, hearty, economical and a complete dinner made in one pot. Yessss….. New beef mince recipe idea: Beef & Lentil Soup! This is a hearty lentil soup loaded up with lots of vegetables and the convenience of ground beef for the meat! Why don’t we use beef mince in soup more often? It’s so handy and economical, it soaks up flavour and makes this one-pot hearty meal a very low-effort endeavour....

Like the Brown Sugar Broiled Salmon with Vegetables, this is a terrific one tray salmon recipe that’s quick to prepare! Chilli Lime Baked Salmon In my humble opinion, salmon is best cooked in a smoking skillet to get the skin shatteringly crisp. Serve it on mashed potatoes with a lemon herb cream sauce and a side of perfectly roasted baby carrots = restaurant quality dinner. I swear, you’d pay $30 for that at a fancy restaurant....
