“The first bite will really throw you off balance because it’s a flavour that is so familiar and yet, it is in dip form!” Other than the base which is made with a cream cheese mixture instead of a pizza crust, everything else that goes into this dip is what you would put on a pizza, including the pizza sauce. So when I say that this tastes like pizza, it really truly does....

Tonight we’re eating out – but in!!! I just wanted to do something to help our restaurant industry The COVID-19 pandemic has obliterated our restaurant industry. But they are rising from the ashes, emerging with innovative new offerings for these times. Multi-course fine dining at home, elite produce previously reserved for hatted restaurants, home delivery cocktails. They are working their guts out to survive and keep their staff employed. And I just wanted to do something to help....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Though my brother, sister and I all know how to make Japanese food, it’s an unspoken rule that when it comes to Japanese food, that’s mum’s domain. So if any of us have a particular craving for a Japanese meal, we submit requests. Sister: “Mum, can you make oden for us this weekend? Puh-lease??” Brother: “Mum, we’re heading out to the harbour for New Years’ Eve fireworks....

Mmmmm….pizza……Mmmmm….Mexican food…. Good things can happen when you do mash-ups. Just like with music. 🙂 When you merge two of my favourite food groups (pizza is a food group, isn’t it?), you pretty much get heaven on a plate. Pizza tray. Cutting board. Whatever. I don’t care – I just want some! I have never snapped photos as fast as I did for this. Not because it’s a freezing cold day here in Sydney and I wanted to snap pictures before the cheese hardened and look completely unappetising, but because THIS IS MY LUNCH!...

Molten Chocolate Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakes, also known as Lava Cakes, are warm individual-size chocolate cakes with oozing chocolate centres. Most recipes will simply have you undercooking a chocolate cake batter, so the outside is set like cake but the inside is raw batter that pours out like lava when you cut into it. Hence the name! But why settle for cake batter when you can have the real thing? I’ll take molten real chocolate over raw cake, thanks!...

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....

These are brilliant for freezing – so make a big batch. Serve with sour cream, Restaurant-style salsa or Avocado Sauce for dipping! Quesadillas! You’d have to be made of stone if that image doesn’t make you weak in the knees.😂 That golden brown crispy tortilla. The juicy, seasoned filling. That molten cheese. Quesadillas are a universal language that brings everyone together – vegetarians and meat lovers alike. And in the spirit of that, today I’ve got not one, but THREE filling options to choose from:...

This recipe is made using one of my master sauce recipe, this Peanut Sauce for Stir Fries. Like my All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce, it can be used for any stir fry or noodles using a “formula” (provided in the recipe) and forms the basis for many recipes I’ve shared over the years! Quick Peanut Stir Fry I love being proven wrong over good food. I can usually read a recipe and have a good sense for what it will taste like....

Red Potato Salad I want to say that I’d take this potato salad over a classic mayonnaise version any day, and right now I would. But I firmly believe there’s a place in this world for both. So I’ll trumpet this one as a great alternative potato salad for all those times when you want something a little different, with a little wow factor: tasty bacon bits, charry golden pops of sweet corn, all dressed with a mildly zingy cider vinegar dressing....

Welcome back to the final instalment of Jamaican week! To recap, we started off with Jerk Fish, followed by two fabulous Jamaican sides – coconut rice and peas (beans, actually!) and Jamaican Slaw (adore!). And here today with dessert – rum raisin ice cream, the EASY way!! Worth making: rum raisin ice cream These days you can actually get quite good quality ice cream at the grocery store, though you do pay through the nose for it....

“OMG, that caramel tart!”, my friend exclaimed. “You’ve probably given my whole family diabetes, but OMG!!!!” I grinned, gleefully. “I know, it’s INSANE, isn’t it?” This is probably the most indulgent dessert I know how to make. It’s sinfully decadent. The caramel filling is truly incredible – it’s smooth, creamy, thick and so soft. It’s made using a caramel base of butter plus sugar (for the caramel flavour) which is then combined with condensed milk....

Lamb shoulder has more flavour and is easier to cook than lamb leg. Virtually foolproof, minimal effort, and incredible meat that is so tender that you won’t need a knife to carve this! Want to upgrade to the Rolls Royce version? Try the Ultimate 12 Hour Roast Lamb or browse the entire Roast Lamb recipe collection. Slow Cooked Lamb Shoulder is the ultimate lamb roast Being born into a foodie family, there is always a flurry of emails leading up to a Sunday Night Roast....

It’s a unique way to prepare cucumbers that creates unique textures and flavours. Try it once and you’ll be addicted for life! Smashed Cucumber Salad While one might assume this is a bit of gimmick – because seriously, who thinks to BASH cucumbers for a salad, bruising them into oblivion, smushing this otherwise crisp, juicy vegetable – Smashed Cucumbers is genuinely a way of preparing cucumbers that’s used across much of Asia....

Korean Pork Stir Fry If you like BIG flavours – and I mean BIG, HUGE flavours, then this stir fry is for you. The flavours are much more intense than usual stir fries – it’s spicier, stickier and stronger. The jammy sauce is the type that will have you smacking your lips and licking your fingers, wanting to marinade everything in this. And actually, you could. For those who have sampled Korean Fried Chicken (the “other” KFC), the flavour of the sauce will be familiar because the sticky coating for KFC has similar ingredients to this marinade....

Go all out with a Vietnamese menu and serve this alongside fresh Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls, Bun Cha Vietnamese meatballs and a fresh Asian Slaw on the side! An incredible Vietnamese chicken recipe There are no words to describe how good this Vietnamese chicken is. And how it looks like a million bucks when it’s finished but completely unimpressive while it’s cooking. You’ll probably be doubting me the whole time right up until the last 5 minutes when it transforms from milky bleakness into golden gloriousness!...

“These are great food-on-the-go!” These little morsels came about when I was having a bunch of friends over for brunch. I am insanely obsessed with french toast (as regular readers will know from the number of french toast creations I’ve posted!). But you can’t really make it for more than 4 people at a time because you need to stand at the stove making batch after batch. A great option to make french toast for a crowd is french toast casserole, where you layer pieces of bread and egg mixture in a casserole dish and bake it up, then spoon it out like a casserole....

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! Proof of crispy base: The cookbook also includes a recipe for a classic Red Wine Sauce. It’s a stunner! 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....

These are like the chicken and broccoli version of good ole’ Rissoles! Serve this for dinner with crusty bread slathered with butter and a side salad. Or put out a platter with a dipping sauce as a starter to share! Cheesy Chicken Patties Fritters? Or patties? I couldn’t decide. And I kept flopping back and forth so you’ll probably see them used interchangeably throughout this post – and even the video (which I just realised I made with FRITTERS plastered all over it....

Serve as a potato side for dinner. Breakfast with eggs. Party food bites. So many possibilities! Mini Potato Gratin Stacks (Dauphinoise) All you need to know is that these Mini Potato Gratin Stacks are cheesy, creamy and ridiculously irresistible. I mean, let’s be blunt. Potatoes + cheese + cream + garlic + butter. BAM! That’s a home run right there! Actually, they’re a mini version of French Potato Gratin / Dauphinoise....

Look at all that creamy chocolate custard! How can this not get you excited???! Chocolate custard cake I feel like I don’t need to say much about this cake because the photos and recipe video do all the talking for me. It’s as chocolatey and creamy as it looks. You can cut it into neat slices (like… cake!). But when you eat it, it’s gloriously creamy. It’s luxurious, with a rich mouthfeel....
