Prosciutto Wrapped Prawns With Pesto Dip Appetizer
These prosciutto wrapped prawns have actually been shown in a previous blog post but I took it down. Most of you probably don’t know about this because it was just an experimental idea when I started blogging. But I tried to do a series of posts where I would pair food with a cocktail. For…
Coffee Flavoured Overnight Oats
Props to the person who came up with the idea of overnight oats. An easy and great way to start your day. I had a quick scroll through the few breakfast recipes I have done so far for this blog. I noticed that they are all recipes involving eggs. Now don’t get me wrong, I…
Slow Cooker Curry Lamb Rogan Josh
Well, I am certainly happy today because this is my first slow cooker recipe! And I have made a wicked slow cooker curry. You don’t have to be a genius to realize that I like to cook, that is very obvious, right? But what’s funny is that I have to constantly remind myself of this….
Polenta Coated Fish with Dressed Potatoes
This polenta coated fish recipe is inspired by the restaurant “Threecoins Italian Trattoria”. Why? Well, I can’t tell you how many times I have paneed an ingredient with either breadcrumbs, or panko breadcrumbs. This restaurant did things a bit differently, they coated there squid with polenta. And it worked an absolute treat. Is it better than regular breadcrumbs?…..I think I might…
Pulled Pork Sliders with Lemon & Yogurt Coleslaw
Ok, so here are my Pulled Pork Sliders. And I made them with a zingy, fresh slaw. The pork has a bit of bite so the coleslaw just acts as a nice refresher. And since the yoghurt replaces the mayonnaise, it is super healthy! I was also going to spread a bit of mustard on…
Chicken & Leek Pie
Hey everyone! This Chicken & Leek pie is a fantastic comfort food dish for the family. Now I know I know, it has been a while and I do apologise about that. I have been very busy finishing 5 assessments at school, and eventually I came to the conclusion that it is probably not the…
Crumbed, Sausage and Hidden Veggie Pasta
Ok folks, this post is about feeding the kids. Now I am not a parent, I think I am just a bit too young at this stage. But whenever I see parents trying to feed their kids healthy food, and their response to that is “ewwwww I don’t like vegetables and green food”, it doesn’t take a…

Bagel Burger with Fennel and Smoked trout
First of all, a bagel with cream cheese is awesome don’t get me wrong. That with a good cup of coffee in the morning is a winner. But a while ago, I was having a bagel from the coffee shop and I thought “there could be so much more in this bagel. So why not…
Seared Scallops and Fresh Salsa on Crushed Potatoes
Seared scallops, the two reasons why I believe that people don’t cook them in their homes often is because they usually aren’t all that cheap. You can buy them frozen as a cheaper alternative then defrost them, but fresh scallops are obviously much better quality. Also, people tend to get intimidated when it comes to cooking…
