Healthy Butter Chicken
Is there such thing as Healthy Butter Chicken? For many (maybe most…) even the idea of it is sacrilege. By it’s very nature and name, it is a curry laden with butter and cream to give a luxurious and creamy dish. But sometimes you want all the flavour of a butter chicken without the heaviness […]
Teriyaki Chicken Tray Bake
I honestly think most people love one pan cooking. And the humble tray bake is one of my favourites, especially for weeknight dinners. There are so many positives to everything going into one tray and into the oven to cook without much interference along the way. It’s perfect! And this Teriyaki Chicken Tray Bake is […]
Healthy Vietnamese Pork Salad
I’ve been playing around with a variety of salads of late thanks to a long and hot summer. Light fresh and healthy have been key, and this Healthy Vietnamese Pork Salad has been a hit. Its easy to make, packed full of flavour and texture and ridiculously healthy to boot. I love it! To be […]
Simple Lamb Rogan Josh
This Simple Lamb Rogan Josh is a fantastic easy curry. The flavours are amazing yet the cooking of it is ridiculously simple. It uses a store bought rogan josh curry powder as the base flavour. And the slow cooker allows the richness and texture to develop over the cooking process. Now don’t get me wrong, […]
Seared Tuna with Greens and Salsa
Fresh tuna is one of my favourite fish to eat. It’s seriously delicious! To be honest, I generally will eat it raw as part of a sashimi plate, as we have an amazing fishmonger close by. But when I do cook it, it will only ever be a quick sear, leaving it gorgeously pink and […]
Healthy Beef Chow Mein
Who knew there was such a thing as a Healthy Beef Chow Mein? I certainly didn’t! I think of loads of slippery noodles in a rich and slightly sweet sauce. Something a little bit naughty. But when I was asked to come up with a lighter version, I saw it as a bit of a […]
Thai Beef Salad
I think this Thai Beef Salad might just be my new favourite salad! I was in the mood for something light and healthy, quick and easy to make and packed full of flavour. The weather was warm and a salad of sorts was really all I felt like eating. It had been a while since […]
Barramundi with Broccolini Rice and a Ginger Broth
I’m going through a bit of a fresh ginger phase at the moment. Although looking back through my recipes here it’s a recurring theme so maybe it’s not a new phase! It’s going in so many things I’m cooking and I’m really enjoying using it as a prominent flavour. I love the heat and character […]
Avocado Pesto Zoodles with Chicken
I love pesto. It’s such a delicious way to really amp up some flavour in a dish. You can go the traditional route and have pesto on pasta but I also love using it as a sauce or dressing. And I love experimenting with different flavour and texture combinations with my pesto depending on my […]
Lamb and Rice Stuffed Vegetables
My memories of stuffed vegetables go right back to my childhood. I remember helping my mum to cook stuffed tomatoes filled with rice, herbs and lots of cheese. They were so delicious and always a favourite. And to this day I find it hard to go past a good stuffed vegetable, especially when filled with […]
