Cinnamon Breakfast Muffins This is a muffin that just makes the cut into breakfast-land in my books. It’s barely sweet, with only 12 grams of sugar per muffin, less than a quarter of what you find in sugary cereals like Fruit Loops, and there’s a surprising amount of good-for-you fresh carrot and apple in it. To quote Stephen, my head chef at RecipeTin Meals (my food bank): “I actually really enjoyed it....

“That was the most amazing salad I’ve ever had! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!” <– Text message from she who received a container of this. 🙂 If you’re new to wild rice – once you’ve wild riced it, you never go back. Though the irony in all this wild rice talk is that it isn’t actually a rice. It’s a grain. I’m guessing the rice-powers-that-be decided to call this Wild Rice because it looks like rice and it’s…err…....

Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles Firstly, let me be very upfront that this is by no means an authentic Thai dish. Which is why I don’t even classify it as part of the Thai recipes collection. 😂 It’s just a really tasty one-skillet, minimal-prep dinner that’s full of Thai-inspired flavours. Specifically, Thai Peanut Sauce flavours. All you Thai Chicken Satay fans out there will LOVE it! What you need for Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles Note the use of chicken mince and baby spinach here – no chopping involved!...

What is Aloo Gobi? Anyone who loves Indian food has heard of aloo gobi, a simple yet flavorful vegetarian/vegan dish made with spiced potatoes and cauliflower. Aloo gobi literally translates to “potato cauliflower” – these two humble ingredients are known for their ability to soak up flavor. When combined with spices, the dish transforms into something pretty darn special. I am sharing my recipe for aloo gobi using two cooking methods: the instant pot and the stovetop....

We usually make aval payasam for festivals like Gokulashtami | Janmashtami. Also, we make for any special fridays like Thai velli and aadi velli. Aval payasam is a very simple payasam and can be made quickly for any festival. Generally payasam is made with sugar. But for festival neivedyams we make it using jaggery. For most of the milk based kheers it is a common question, why the payasam gets curdled when we add jaggery to it....

Pavakkai chips are one of the popular ones in A2B shop and Hot chips outlet in Chennai. When they introduced this, we used to buy this crazily and enjoy this with every meal. We have posted a pavakkai fry recipe in Jeyashris kitchen many years back. I always want to replicate the A2B style of bitter gourd chips. I tried last week at home and it turned out perfect. The main key is slicing the bitter gourd super thin....

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies Byron Bay cookies changed the Aussie cookie market forever when they first came out. They were known for their size (big!), the buttery crisp-but-melt-in-your-mouth texture and most importantly, the generous amounts of “stuff” inside. Big chunks of chocolate (here’s the Choc Chunk version!), nuts, M&M’s. Nobody eats a Byron Bay cookie and is left feeling dissatisfied!! They’re now found in cafes all across Australia, and as popular as ever....

I like to wedge chunks of cheese in the batter so you get lovely pockets of cheese and the lovely textured crust on top. But you could just mix it through – even faster to prepare!! A terrific no yeast bread recipe I don’t often bake with yeast because it requires patience for the dough to rise. Oh, and the kneading. I’ve actually got reasonable upper body strength. My challenge is my height....

I have a feeling that this is the very first recipe I’ve shared that has kale in it. Gasp, shock horror!!! It is not that I don’t like kale, I actually like it just fine. It’s just that it’s usually pretty darn expensive! Damn food trends. It’s ruining so many undiscovered fabulous budget foods. Like beef cheeks. Mussels. Lamb ribs. All these things that were crazy cheap 10 years ago and now not so cheap!...

Coconut Rice Truly fluffy coconut rice eluded me for years. I felt like I tried every variation possible, but when I lifted the lid, I’d stare at dismay at into a pot of mushy rice, thick with coconut milk scum. Usually with unevenly cooked rice grains – some hard, some overly soft – and almost always with a scorched base. The making of my cookbook gave me the excuse I needed to commit to cracking coconut rice, once and for all....

This recipe is based on the Couscous with Tomato and Onion from Yotam Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem cookbook which I am obsessed with. It has so many ideas for new ways to prepare fresh and simple food, with a heavy emphasis on vegetarian recipes. I altered the recipe to remove the butter and reduce the amount of oil generally, as well as reducing the amount of water used to prepare the couscous to make the couscous less soggy once cooked (as it continues to cook and absorb liquid when in the stove)....

What are Crispy Fried Shallots? Crispy Fried Shallots – or Crispy Asian Shallots – are a heavily used pantry staple in my world. It’s a store bought Asian garnish that’s widely available these days in the Asian aisle of grocery stores, but cheaper in Asian stores (~ half price!). I use it frequently as a garnish in all things Asian, from soups to salads, poke bowls to curries. Instant crunch and salt!...
