Shredded chicken with soba noodles in miso broth

March 10, 2016 by date with a plate.

I am slightly obsessed with noodles; dry or wet, I am immediately drawn to bowls of slippery, slurp-worthy goodness and last night I had a bad craving for soba noodles specifically. Soba noodles are a Japanese variety made of wheat and buckwheat flour and can be served hot or cold. Last night’s meal was served hot, in a delicate and slightly creamy broth featuring miso paste, soy sauce and mirin as the flavour base. It was quick, but incredibly comforting […]

Deep fried chicken with cheesy polenta waffles (permission to treat yo’self)

August 10, 2015 by date with a plate.

If you’ve never been fortunate enough to eat chicken and waffles….something needs to change in your life. Lucky for you, I have developed the perfect recipe to help you do just that. Breakfast, brunch, late afternoon post-hangover feast, dinner…there is no such thing as a bad time to eat chicken and waffles, they are the perfect anytime meal. I first experienced chicken and waffles when I was traveling through America. At first I was a little confused by the combination, […]

Sticky rice dumplings

July 8, 2014 by date with a plate.

Exploring Asian supermarkets is always an adventure for me, I absolutely love getting lost in the aisles of foreign products and adorable servingware. I go in for a packet of dried shiitake mushrooms and somehow leave with new plates, steaming baskets, packets of deep fried shallots, aloe vera juice and anything else that sparks my interest. My lack of self-control is apparent, and a little bit fantastic. Who doesn’t love a Sunday night dumpling feast? Exploring the pages of my […]

Gumbo

March 24, 2014 by date with a plate.

Later this year the boyfriend and I are adventuring for a month in the US, and I honestly cannot wait. All this talk about the places we are going to got me hankering for some Gumbo….since we are going to New Orleans and all I figured I should give this dish a go. I haven’t made it before, but it came out just right – or at least I am told by Ollie it did. He grew up surrounded by […]

Paprika and thyme chicken

January 31, 2014 by date with a plate.

It was another case of mid-week laziness. I knew it was my turn to cook dinner, I just couldn’t seem to summon the energy to be inventive, so I rustled up an old favourite that I know the boy likes: my paprika and thyme chicken. This little dish owes its origins to an abundance of thyme in the garden and an excess of paprika in the spice rack – I quite literally just banged this one out, but its become […]

Smoked BBQ chicken (finger-licking good)

October 15, 2013 by date with a plate.

Our Sunday BBQ wasn’t complete without the addition of a whole smoked chicken to serve alongside our Cuban smoked pork. What a treat this bird was too, I was surprised at first that it only took an hour to cook and was unbelievably moist. This simple recipe is a real treat on your Weber BBQ – trust me! So simple, I was blown away at how good this chicken tasted with so little done to it. The sauce used to […]

Moroccan Chicken

August 23, 2013 by date with a plate.

I haven’t yet been to Morocco, but it’s on my hit list. Regardless, I can still make Moroccan Chicken and pretend to be there……sort of. Anyway, this is a great mid-week meal and can easily be scaled up in quantity to cater for a large group, or a hungry family. The method is easy, the flavours are great and the effort factor is minimal – can I get a “hell yeah!” Another great thing about any type of stew is […]

Slow Roasted Chicken

August 12, 2013 by date with a plate.

Name one person who doesn’t love a Sunday Roast? Yep – like I thought – no one. Everyone loves a Sunday Roast, no matter what your meat of choice, a traditional roast is a real treat. My Slow Roasted Chicken is no exception, cared for by my low temperature oven for more than two hours, this chook is sure to please. I usually cook beef or pork when I do a roast, but after a trip to my local specialty […]
