Air-Fried Caramel Banana & Coconut Spring Roll
•
Kak’mbang and I were just chilling out one day talking about food (because why not), and she mentioned this yummy looking recipe she found on a random can of F&N sweetened condensed creamer. Only the ingredients list was on the can, but spring rolls stuffed with bananas and grated coconut and drizzled with sweetened…

Smoked Duck and Sausage Gumbo
•
I’m really trying hard to clear out stuff from my freezer. It doesn’t help that I keep buying new ingredients, I know, but I still try. I had a few smoked duck breasts sitting at the bottom of my freezer for ages, and I knew I had to make something that would do them…

Weekend Cooking: Apple Cider Doughnuts
•
Post turkey dinner I had a lot of apple cider left over, and was wondering what to do with it. I can’t remember how I stumbled upon the idea of making doughnuts with apple cider, but now that I have, why didn’t I think of this sooner?? There are quite a few recipes out…

GobbleFest 2017 Leftovers: Turkey Waldorf Salad

Happy New Year, everyone! It’s a lazy New Year’s Day, and I wanted to put together a light snack. The first few times I made this was way back in 2012, when I was still actively involved in the Repertory Theater Club (RTC). I made this for a post-rehearsal gathering with the RTC gang,…

Mummy wasn’t feeling well a few weekends back, and I was really worried because she took so long to recover and had such poor appetite. I decided to make something nice for her for dinner, in hopes that she’d eat more. I didn’t want to do a lamb dish, because I figured an elevated…

Weekend Cooking: Lamb Meghazlia Rice
•
This was on my To-Make list for a while now, and finally I managed to make it this week. Use a mix of meat and bones for a more flavorful stock; I chose lamb shoulder chops specifically for this purpose. If you’re not keen on making your own meghazlia spice mix, I’m sure subbing…

Weekend Cooking: Khaliat Nahal (Beehive)
•
To me, cooking is a way to destress after a long week slogging at the office. Making bread, however, is what I find most enjoyable. When a bread recipe appeared in Saudi Food Eman’s Facebook feed, I knew I had to try it ASAP. I mean, bread stuffed with cream cheese and drizzled with syrup?…

Weekend Cooking: Eman’s Oven-baked Chicken and Rice
•
It was another one of those weekends when the freezer was full of stuff and Kak’mbang sent out her SOS. I needed to help her clear at least one whole chicken, so I decided to try this recipe by Saudi Food Eman. I found it interesting how good she claims the dish to be…

Weekend Cooking: Eman’s Lamb Bukhari with Rice
•
Last weekend I picked up some decent-looking lamb cubes from Tesco, and decided to use it immediately for dinner that night. I didn’t want to make something too complicated, because I was just so exhausted by the many things that were going on both at home and at work. Since Saudi Food Eman is…
