Chicken Yakisoba
•
I really like yakisoba. Back when I was a student living in Nagoya for over a year, every few days we’d walk down the road to the neighborhood supermarket to get groceries, and prepare our own meals in the dorm kitchen. One of the things I’d pick up from time to time was a…

Curry Noodles
•
I love mi kari. I love them a specific way, where the broth is creamy but not too rich or thick, with a good mix of toppings but not overboard or trying too hard. I also like the broth to be flavorful and bursting with umami, which I imagined should come from some form…

Bought a kilo of really nice cod fillets from Seafood Maestro, some I used for the Fish Pie. I still had a few pieces left over, so I trawled the Internet for a recipe which is relatively simple to make, and with ingredients which will allow the flavor of the cod to really shine…

Make Your Own: Basic Pizza Sauce
•
Many years ago I picked up a book called 500 Pizzas and Flatbreads, and I started making my own pizzas at home. Back then I didn’t have a breadmaker or a proper mixer or any of the nice kitchen gear I have today, and I kneaded everything by hand. The recipes in the book…

Duck Fat Mashed Potatoes Recipe

We had friends over for steak dinner, and I offered to make the sides and starches. On the menu was my Bayou Chicken Pasta, breadmaker brioche, and I wanted some mashed potatoes to go with the giant steaks we bought. I’ve tried a few mashed potato recipes in the past, but most were really…
