Chow Mein I want to say that Chow Mein is my favourite noodle-child but I’m worried that I’ve said that in another recipe (or two… or three… 😂). Because there is, after all, some heavy hitting noodle competition in this big wide world. Pad Thai, Pad See Ew (Thai Stir Fried Noodles), Singapore Noodles, Yakisoba (Japanese noodles) – to name just a few. But Chow Mein is right up there and it’s not just because it’s noodle-slurpingly delicious, but also because of the following:...

(PS It’s also a 5 minute dump and whizz job). Get the recipe. Queso (Mexican Cheese Dip) Copycat of everybody’s favourite cheesy dip except it’s made with real cheese, no Velveeta in sight!...

This is totally the sort of thing I make for company during the cooler months because it’s one of those meals that’s a crowd pleaser, can be prepped in advance then popped in the oven and left without checking on it. Low risk cooking that tastes fabulous – I like! Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce If I have a dinner party anytime during June – August (winter here in Sydney), chances are that I’ll make something like this Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce....

Wonderful to pass around at parties, this was a hit over the Christmas party season! Cucumber Canapés These canapés are a terrific combo – the cool, juicy cucumber with the rich creamy salmon mousse. But the really great thing about these Cucumber Canapés is that it’s speedy to make loads of it. I’m really not one for fiddly assembly and am always in awe of caterers who put together vast platters of delicately constructed hors d’oeuvres and finger food that people inhale in one bite!...

A very popular North Indian style gravy, slow-cooked to get a creamy texture. Dal makhani is usually served with Naan | jeera rice or roti. We all are huge fans of dal makhani. Unlike the other North Indian dishes, this is not loaded with heavy spices. Dal makhani is a mildly spiced dal recipe, but it is usually loaded with cream and butter. The restaurant-style dal makhani used to be very rich and creamy....

When I entertain, I typically put out an antipasto or mezze spread as a starter. I love cheese, but when I’m hosting for 20 people I can’t really afford to provide a spread of French bries and Buffalo Mozzarella. But I also feel like I need to do better than slapping down a block of tasty cheese. So I often serve up this Feta Marinated with Herbs and Chilli which is really cost effective, looks so fresh and pretty and tastes fantastic....

I used to make mango thokku almost every year, during my initial days of marriage....
