Honey Broccoli Noodles with Cashews Recipe

I am a very happy cook and making the most out of valuable free time in the kitchen is very rewarding. It's delightful trying a new recipe, simple or otherwise and oh-so rewarding when it turns out successful; not just the flavours of the meal but also the quality of its presentation and do you know what makes me even happier? I mislaid my digital camera many, many moons ago, so the good ol' mobile phone has been my saviour to take images. My new mobile phone has a camera that has specs that are three times better than my digital camera, so I am finally able to show my food in its full glory. The mission now is to maybe cook/make previous recipes and update the pictures. Okay, might be getting too carried away now but let's see... The balance of the savoury broccoli and the touch of sweetness from the honey here creates a unique flavour profile that appeals to both kids and adults alike and the dried chilli pepper gives it a nice oomph! Whether you're a fan of Asian

Salmon & Tarragon with Tagliatelle Recipe

Cream is an ingredient that I have a tendency to keep away from when cooking. Okay, I have to make it clear that I say "when cooking," as cream used in a dessert will always get the thumbs up. It's partly due to the fact it is a greasy ingredient and it is viewed a bit 80's and indeed, pasta with cream and salmon is an 80's dish. However, it's not that everything about those roaring years to be considered thrown away. On the contrary, I invite you to try this recipe for an excellent ride into the past. After all, I lived through those years and every now and then I like to time warp my mind and reminisce on what a wonderful decade it was. In these moments I see myself as a infant interested in cartoons that, even from time to time with their crudeness, have taught our generation something about life. TV films that have remained in the collective imagination, music that has changed the vision of the world, fashion that has forever revolution

Caribbean Banana Risotto Recipe

Rice is a highly recommended food for all ages because of its properties and nutrients. Today I prepared a recipe for the little ones, a banana risotto. Italian risotto is a creamy and soft rice ideal for those little ones who are in the transition from purées to a whole meal although after trying it I dare say you should make a little more for yourself aswell, because it's delicious. Prep time : 10 minutes Cook Time : 25 minutes Serves :2 Ingredients : 1 bunch of spring onions 1 piece of root ginger, 1 inch, peeled and grated 2 tbsp cooking oil 2 drops toasted sesame oil 1/4 tsp allspice 1 fresh green chilli, deseeded and finely sliced 150g arborio rice 500ml vegetable stock salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 large banana Instructions : 1. Gently saute the spring onions and ginger in cooking oil and sesame oil for 2-3 minutes. 2. Add the allspice, green chilli and rice. Stir well to coat with the oils. Add enough stock to just co

Chocolate Risotto Recipe

I came across this recipe in one of my many cookbooks this afternoon and having made it many moons ago I thought I'd give it another shot. Although I do have a very sweet tooth, it has certainly been a long while since I made a dessert and this delight has left my taste buds tingling. Putting this into the dessert category is very broad, I would more likely call it a sweet lunch. Indulgent and velvety, chocolate risotto is a delightful twist on the classic Italian rice dish. Combining the rich flavours of dark chocolate with the creamy texture of a well-made risotto, this dessert brings together two beloved culinary elements in a harmonious marriage. Whether you have a special occasion to celebrate or simply want to indulge in a luxurious treat, making chocolate risotto at home is a rewarding culinary adventure. Prep Time : 10 mins Cook Time : 20 mins Serves : 4 Ingredients : 600ml milk 25g sugar 50g butter 125g arborio rice 50g toasted hazelnuts, chopped 50g sultanas 125g good

Pilaf Rice with Nuts & Dried Fruit Recipe

Today I challenged myself by venturing beyond my usual culinary repertoire so I attempted a Lebanese inspired pilaf . The idea of blending fluffy rice with a medley of savoury nuts and sweet dried fruits captivated my curiosity, motivating me to embark on this flavourful adventure. As I assembled the ingredients and readied my kitchen for the culinary endeavor ahead, a blend of anticipation and apprehension hung in the air. The alluring fragrances of spices and herbs permeating the room. The process of toasting the nuts and simmering everything together felt like a well-choreographed dance. Each step brought me closer to the final masterpiece, as the flavours melded into a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. As I garnished the pilaf rice with a generous sprinkling of nuts and dried fruits, I couldn't help but marvel at the transformation before me. With bated breath, I took my first bite, savouring the medley of tastes that exploded in my mouth. The nuttiness of the almonds,

Mushroom Stroganoff Recipe

I rarely eat red meat nowadays, but still have fond memories of having it occasionally at home when growing up. It was always nice coming home from school to have beef stroganoff every now and then to warm me up. I don't just mean having a heartwarming meal, it was the spiciness of the recipe that was warming. Mushrooms are one of the key ingredients in the classic Russian recipe, but after discovering chef James Martin's mushroom stroganoff recipe I learned that the flavours work incredibly well together, even without the key element of beef. I used a little more chilli powder here but then that's the idea of cooking; mixing and matching to suit your taste. Okay, there may not be any beef in this recipe but the flavours are still stroganoff! Prep Time : 20 mins Cook Time : 20 mins Serves : 4 Ingredients : 25g butter 1 tbsp oil 160g onions, sliced 160g mushrooms, sliced 1 clove of garlic 1 tsp ground paprika a good pinch of chil

This salad is a perfect balance of earthy mushrooms, tangy goat cheese, and crisp greens, making it a feast for both your taste buds and your Instagram feed. It's a simple yet impressive dish that will make you feel like a culinary genius, even if you struggle to boil water .

You can also toss in some dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds to add a pop of color. And don't forget the final flourish of fresh herbs on top. Now you've got yourself a gorgeous salad that would make any food stylist proud. While this salad can certainly be a satisfying meal on its own, it's also a fantastic sidekick to accompany other dishes. It pairs wonderf
