Can you believe that you can make this Creamy Salmon Risoni in just 15 minutes? You really can. Leisurely too, not frantic manic cooking. My one condition is that you have all the ingredients out on the bench, ready for chopping, measuring etc. Because I can’t be accountable for how long it takes you to rummage around in your pantry to dig out a packet of risoni! 😂 This is a recipe from this month’s Super Food Ideas magazine, Australia’s top selling food magazine which just hit the stands....

I was corresponding with my friend Maureen from the Orgasmic Chef (pop over to follow her search for food that’s better than….well….you know….!). It was on a completely unrelated matter, but I happened to mention a recipe I wanted to make that day. “I was reading your review of Noosa Beach House,” I wrote. “It inspired me to try out a recipe by Peter Kuruvita. I have some short ribs in the freezer, so I’m going to make these Mexican Braised Beef Short Ribs!...
Giant Pancake to share! When I have friends around for brunch, I rarely make pancakes because I want to lounge around chatting, not slaving over a hot stove making pancake after pancake after pancake. Simple maths: 3 pancakes each for 4 people = 12 pancakes @ 3 minutes each = 36 minutes. Sure, you can make them ahead and reheat them. But you and I both know it’s just not the same....
For chicken wings, use the Honey Soy Wings recipe. For drumsticks and bone-in thighs, use the Honey Soy Baked Chicken recipe.

Except unlike store bought where a quick inspection of the label reveals it contains a mere 0....

It’s that world-devastating-virus, the reason your mum has been at home with you 99% of this year....
Korean Beef Bulgogi When I think about food trends in recent years, one of the cuisines that comes to mind straight away is Korean food. Legends like David Chang (of the world renowned Momofuku restaurants) and Roy Choi (LA Korean fusion food truck extraordinaire) have brought Korean food into the limelight. Whereas once you had to hunt to find great Korean restaurants in Sydney, now they are really common in the city and there are growing pockets throughout the suburbs with an increasing number of great Korean restaurants....
Don’t let the simplicity of this recipe fool you. This is knock-your-socks-off good, and proof that you can eat amazing food on a budget. “I’ll be honest and say I thought this would be lacking in flavour because I’m used to trying curries from scratch rather than with curry powder……How wrong was I?? I apologise wholeheartedly Nagi!! Amazing recipe, please try this people. Tasty, easy, mind blowingly awesome. xx” – Emily, 10 April 2020...

If you’ve ever wondered how to make Chinese dumplings, today is the day you’ll discover that it’s totally doable by any home cook! You don’t even need a bamboo steamer! Siu Mai (Shumai – Chinese Steamed Dumplings) It’s so unsatisfying going to Yum Cha* with just two people.

There are some seriously fancy omelettes in this world. Fully loaded, with truffles, loaded with 4 kinds of cheese, even lobster. Me – I’m more of a “fridge clean out” omelette kind of gal. Meaning – when I make an omelette, it’s usually to use up bits and pieces in the fridge. With the exception of a Spanish omelette. 🙂 This is one of the few omelettes in the world that I will make intentionally!...

1. Apple Pie Cups! By yours truly. 🙂 Thai Chicken Salad Wonton Cups! Also by yours truly. :- ) Roll up cheese, add pepperoni, fry it and I challenge you to stop at one. Bake it for a lighter option. Mozzarella Pizza Stick by Culinary Hill. Add pepperoni and it becomes a Pizza Stick. Or don’t roll it up and it becomes bite size pizzas. Pepperoni Wonton Bites by the Bariatric Diva....
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Baked Mac and Cheese I don’t want to be morbid, but if I had to choose a Last Meal, this Baked Mac and Cheese may possibly be it. Put me in a room with Macaroni Cheese, and neither of us stand a chance. Said Mac and Cheese would be ravaged. And of all the Mac and Cheeses in the world, this is still the best Mac and Cheese I’ve ever had!...
This is one of those rare foods that is a truly fabulous freezer meal and keeps for days in the fridge! Baked Spaghetti I call it a casserole, I call it a pie, I call it a pasta bake. I actually don’t really know if there’s a proper name for this, but what I do know is this: You are going to love it. Because it’s everybody’s favourite Spaghetti Bolognese – PLUS CHEESE....
