PK’s Simple Tom Kha Gai
My way of making Tom Kha, a Thai coconut, chicken and galangal soup, one bowl at a time is great if you have a family with widely different stands on what they will or won’t eat. For example, I love tomatoes, mushrooms and spring onions so I use lots of them in my bowl. My…

PK’s Asian Style Crumbed Pork Loin Cutlets
Just like my Crumbed Panko Chicken Breasts these crumbed eye of pork loin cutlets are so lite and easy. Simply throw some noodles or rice at it and serve with wasabi paste, Japanese Mayonnaise and Japanese Roasted Sesame Dressing. Your guests will be blown away! Takes about 20 minutes of preparation and cooking not including 30 minutes…

How To Make Rick Stein’s Butter Chicken
You simply can’t get this dish’s depth of flavours using a store bought Butter Chicken paste or simmer sauce. The result is the most succulent chicken in a creamy, nutty, tomato based sauce. I won’t lie to you though. This is one of the trickier recipes on the blog. Notes: I hope to char grill the…

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s Osso Buco Slow Cooker
Considering how much I love lamb shanks I am surprised it took me this long to cook Osso Buco for the first time. I always use Hugh’s recipe for the shanks (River Cottage’s Citrus Braised Lamb Shanks) so it is a no surprise I am using his Osso Buco Alla Milanese. You will be using…

PK’s Slow Cooker Whole Chicken
This mouth-watering dish is designed to be super thrifty and dead easy to boot. I managed to use some old tired veggies and to get a free-range chook on special. I am also happy to say it took longer to eat the dish than it did to prepare it. I simply took a whole chicken,…

Basmati Rice
This rice variety is originally from India. It is characterised by long slender grains and light fragrance. It is my favourite rice as it pairs well with any dish that you would normally use rice, pasta or potato in. I have read that this variety of rice, even white, has a lower GI than some…

PK Cooks Sticky Poached Asian Chicken Thighs
I saw this recipe online here http://www.taste.com.au/ and just had to try it. I also proved along the way that you don’t have to follow recipes exactly to get a great result. I did some steps out of order accidentally and had to rapidly reduce the sauce before everything went south. Everything worked out well…

PK Makes Nagi’s ‘Chinese Restaurant’ Chicken Satay
I love old school Anglicised ‘chinese restaurant’ chicken satay. Perth is very lucky now to have cafes and restaurants that serve all manner of global cuisines from the cultural traditional through to really clever fusion. However, growing up in Perth we were not spoilt for choice eating out, there was only Pizza Hut, Red Rooster…

PK Makes Rick Stein’s Chettinad Chicken
This is by far my favourite recipe from the TV series and book, ‘Rick Stein’s India’ (see BBC link here). In my family’s version we keep the heat factor low and serve it with lightly steamed vegetables to keep it kid friendly. Well that is what my wife (who hates chili and curries in general)…

PK Makes Ching He Huang’s Beef in Oyster Sauce
My hat off to the BBC chef Ching He Huang and her simple but flavoursome Beef in Oyster Sauce recipe. This dish caught my eye because it calls for tenderising, with a mallet or rolling pin, beef eye fillet (tenderlion) steaks. I can see you shaking your head but trust me it is a transformational part…
