I felt that my mushroom repertoire was not complete until I included a Portobello mushroom burger recipe. Don’t think of it as a meatless burger. Think of it as a fat and juicy burger that is fast to make and regardless of whether you are a vegetarian or not, this little number is sure to […]

As strange as it sounds, as a self-proclaimed fuss free Emily doesn’t actually mind the stirring when it comes to making risotto. Whilst most people are looking for a no-stir recipe, I, on the other hand, find mindless repetitive motion to be therapeutic. The same reason I volunteered to do cherry sorting at my friend’s […]

My love for savoury taste has somewhat reflected in my choice sweet treats. I love the combination of salty and sweet which explains anything with peanut butter and chocolate is a yes for me. That was before the start of salted caramel trend of course! My recent purchase of  the new Nestlé Caramel Bits has […]

Meatzza – this may be the ultimate meat lovers’ pizza! Instead of bread dough, the pizza crust is made of mince beef. I watched an episode of Nigellissma on Youtube where Ms Lawson made a meatzza. If the domestic goddess says it is okay to make a meatzza, you follow without any question. I prefer […]

Call me mushroom crazy but it is an ingredient I cannot live without. I have made dishes with mushrooms as the main attraction in the past, case in point here and here. I have a friend who hates mushrooms but it’s fine, we can still be friends. 😉 It could be the texture of cooked […]

My previous posts have been fairly meaty so I thought it would be good time for me to jam pack more vegetables in our diet as well as on my blog. My modus operandi with vegetables is stir fry with garlic and oyster sauce. Yawn. I know. But, do not worry, I won’t bore with […]

Italian food has gained a reputation being fresh, tasty and homemade with an emphasis on family style. I know an Italian family here in Orange who, I must say has been really generous to me. They have been showering me with fresh produce from their garden and sweet treats such as homemade crostoli and cannoli.  […]

My beloved is a fan of  Chinese restaurant styled soups. Chicken and corn soup and hot and sour soup are on top of his list. I know it’s very “spendthrift” of me to say that I don’t believe in spending money in ordering soup in a Chinese Restaurant unless it is herbal soup. In my personal opinion,  […]

January is an interesting month. For me, it’s filled with the anticipation of what 2013 will have in store for me. It’s exhilarating and I am keen to start off 2013 on the right foot. With that being said, January is not only the month to kick start your healthy resolution, it’s also a perfect […]

Despite roast chicken is one of my favourite food ever,  I resort to the store-bought version far too often than I’d like to admit. I have been relying heavily on the roast chickens from the Mills Gourmet Takeaway (in Orange) and only considered roasting my own chicken in the past holiday season. I forgot how […]
