Mediterranean Baked Fish
•
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…

Fish Pie
•
Recently, enough visits to the doctor’s made everyone in my household realize that we all need to watch our cholestrol levels. One of the advice given by the dietician (long story) was to have fish much more frequently in a week. A few days prior, Mummy was also craving Shepherd’s Pie but felt very…

I can’t really remember now what triggered my curiosity to look for Filipino dishes for ideas, but finally I settled on this yummy-looking chicken adobo recipe from Rasa Malaysia.

Sausage & Mushroom Calzones

Had a few things I needed to clear from my freezer and pantry. A pack of lamb and rosemary sausages, some mozzarella cheese, and I also had a can of plum tomatoes stashed in the cupboard. Easiest way to use up mozzarella is by making some form of pizza, so I busted out my…

Apparently there are so many…

Luncheon Meat Gyoza

Bought halal chicken luncheon meat from Lolili. Each portion is about 300 grams, and I would usually use half of it in each of the luncheon meat dishes I make. Okay maybe not all dishes. I made the super-yummy Sweet & Sour Luncheon Meat with Potatoes and I decided to use the whole thing.…

Sweet & Sour Chicken Luncheon Meat with Potatoes

Shrimp and Turkey Ham Jambalaya

Wanted to do another round of clearing up the freezer and larder. I found my stash of turkey ham and happily about half a liter of homemade shrimp stock in the freezer, and there was a can of whole peeled tomatoes in the larder. Dug through my fridge and found all the necessary ingredients…

Momo (Nepali Dumplings)
•
So I was talking to my colleagues at work about food and dumplings and yummy stuff to eat, when Shu mentioned momos. Momos are Nepalese dumplings, she said, and you eat them with chutney. To me, that sounded simply wonderful. I have always loved dumplings, and I also thoroughly enjoy making them especially the…
