Use this recipe for curry sauce as a base and toss in whatever veggies and proteins you want! Cauliflower Chickpea Curry I know most people do Meat Free Monday. It has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? But in my world, meat free meals are towards the end of the week after I’ve depleted my supply of fresh meat from weekend grocery shopping. So for RecipeTin Eats, it’s Meat Free Wednesday, not Monday....
77% less calories, 89% less carbs, astonishingly similar mouthfeel as real fried rice and definitely right up there with flavour. This is one that even Cauliflower Rice cynics will love! Cauliflower Fried Rice Yes, it really does taste like real fried rice. Cauliflower rice cynics, I’m talking to YOU! And that includes me. It took me many years before I got on board the cauliflower rice train. And even once I was on board, it took me many months before I was happy enough with cauliflower fried rice to share the recipe with you....
Chocolate Muffins Chocolate muffins are not all created equal. I’m fussy about mine and make no apologies about it – there are a lot of calories in a muffin, so every one of them better be worth it! 😂 Here’s my laundry list of things a great chocolate muffin needs to have. It must: Have a lovely crisp domeBe tender and moist insideTruly taste of chocolateBe quick and easy to make (as muffins should be!...
This is a risotto that easy to make, and you do not need to stand at the stove stirring constantly. Serve it with a simple garden salad drizzled with Italian or French Dressing. A creamy prawn risotto – made easy! I have a friend who is scared of making risotto because she thinks it’s really hard. Scarred by all those Masterchef episodes where the nervous contestant presents their risotto to the judges and stands there awkwardly, sweating and shaking while the judges peer and prod at the dish before having a taste, chewing slowly with such serious looks on their faces you’d think they were trying to find a solution for World Peace....
Crispy Skin Barramundi (or other fish!) Barramundi is one of Australia’s favourite fish. It’s loved over here for its meaty, juicy flesh and its wonderful skin, which crisps up to form a fantastic glass-like sheet of golden fish crackling when cooked properly. It helps that barramundi is available everywhere these days such as all the mainstream grocery stores, and is one of the better value fish around. Of course, as with any seafood, fresher and better quality fish costs more but is always worth it!...
With sweetness from carrots and peas, a sprinkle of cashews and a garlic flavour base, this is a rice side dish that will jazz up any meal. Or serve it with crispy fried eggs for a super quick meal! Curried Rice – think of the possibilities! Just 2 hours ago, I left 8 big containers of this Curried Rice with the wonderful team at my local veterinary clinic (one of the regular places to which I take surplus food) along with a note that went along the lines of this: “Curried basmati rice, not too spicy, fab rice side but can also eat plain....
Excellent large format food for gatherings – make ahead and economical! Also see Chicken Doner Kebabs. How many times have you walked past a Doner kebab shop and glanced at those giant punching bag-sized kebab meats rotating round and round, and wondered how long has that meat been out for?? I wonder if it’s really meat, or 90% fillers?? Well wonder no more!! Shops might use fillers, but WE don’t need to!...

There’s an enormous amount of kale hidden in amongst all that buttery, garlicky rice…. This is a terrific two-in-one side dish that will pair with almost anything and keeps for days! A kale recipe that’s totally scoff-able Kale is one of the nutritious plant foods in the world, and this Garlic Butter Kale Rice is a fantastic way to incorporate a LOT of kale into a dish that’s so tasty, even kale haters love it....
General Tso’s Chicken This is a popular Chinese-American dish that appears in suburban Chinese restaurants here in Australia under various other guises. Peking-Style Chicken or sometimes something mysteriously titled House Special Crispy Chicken. I can never resist a House Special! It is said to originate from the Hunan province of China and is named after a well-respected Chinese military leader, General Tso. While the accuracy of either of these statements is questionable – and in fact, rumour has it that it was brought into the US by Taiwanese Chefs (!...
Welcome to GREEK WEEK! Every now and then, I like to do themed menus where I share all the recipes for a feast, and this week it’s all about the bright fresh flavours of the Mediterranean.

Cranberry Sauce recipe originally published November 2015. Post updated with new recipe video added. No change to recipe – it’s still the same one I use and love! HOMEMADE CRANBERRY SAUCE IS AMAZING I tried store bought cranberry sauce once many years ago and it turned me right off it. It just tasted like….jam. I may as well have slathered my turkey with strawberry jam! It wasn’t until I started to take on the roast turkey centrepiece for holiday gatherings that I decided to give Cranberry Sauce another go…....
Simple to make, this recipe is sure to become a favourite you’ll make over and over again! Cream of Chicken Soup recipe Growing up, I was “deprived” of canned soup. And such is the case when you’re a kid that you always want what you can’t have. I got sent to school with bento boxes and eyed off my friends’ peanut butter sandwiches with jealousy. I looked forward to sleepovers, not only because of the excitement of staying at a friends’ place, but because I got to try food that my mother would never make....
This is a great grab-and-go make-ahead breakfast. Plus, sharing a cheeky way to cook round eggs even if you don’t have egg rings! 😉 Copycat Sausage and Egg McMuffin recipe! I have a secret list of Dirty Foods I Love. KFC Popcorn chicken is on it. Pizza Hut is on it (double pepperoni thin and crispy with anchovies!). Crispy Kreme classic glazed doughnuts. And yes, McDonald’s is on the list too....
Luscious yet fresh and bright from the herbs and lemon, it’s delicious alone but pairs especially well with fish, prawns and chicken. An effortless creamy Baked Risotto recipe There will always be a time and place for risotto made the traditional way, stirring leisurely at the stove for a good 25 minutes as cookbooks and Italian nonnas have always insisted. This no-stir, no-sauté, “dump and bake” risotto recipe is for all the other times....
The rice absorbs the chicken juices as it cooks, adding loads of flavour. It’s like cooking the rice with a homemade stock! Chicken and rice recipe This chicken and rice recipe has been a reader favourite for so long, I thought it was about time I updated it with a much improved video and photos! Readers tell me they love it because: it’s a one pan dinner – the raw rice and chicken are cooked together at the same time; completely hands off – unlike cooking rice on the stove which requires more attention, you just put the pan in the oven, set the timer and walk away; quick to prepare – active prep time is under 10 minutes; and it’s very, very delicious!...
Australia is known for many great foods, but smokey, fall apart, juicy ribs is not one of them. We simply don’t have the equipment needed, nor the generations of experience and knowledge that the masters of barbecuing in the US have. Real barbecue ribs is an art and it’s not something that everyday home cooks can manage at home. So to make great homemade ribs at home, I think it comes down to the sauce....
Easier than you think, and a great holiday dessert to get everyone involved building it together! This Pavlova Christmas Tree is a lot more straightforward to make than it looks! I’ve gifted it in ready-to-assemble form to several friends and they put the components together with no problems at all! Pavlova Christmas Tree And so it has landed here on my own website, a week after being featured on the cover of the Sydney Morning Herald’s Sunday Life magazine: The Pavlova Christmas Tree!...
This is an excellent salad option for a starter, or as a stylish side salad! Pear Salad with Blue Cheese This is a salad that’s all about classic and natural pairings, things we always see on cheeseboards. That’s because they just work so well together, yet you may not have thought about combining them in a salad. Combos like: ✓ Fruit and blue cheese ✓ Fruit and honey ✓ Fruit and nuts ✓ Cheese, honey and nuts (have I covered all combos there?...
Cooking the pork tenderloin whole keeps this lean healthy cut of pork lovely and juicy! So basically, this sauce is like gravy on steroids. Good steroids, that is. Not the kind that naughty athletes use. 😉 Have you ever had Marsala Sauce before? Or made anything with Marsala? Marsala is a fortified wine, so it’s thicker and sweeter than normal wine. It has many layers of flavours in it which makes it a fantastic secret weapon in the kitchen, one that chefs in posh restaurants use regularly....
