PK’s NoRecipe Savoury Mince
A favourite since childhood, this is simple food that couldn’t be easier to cook. By now you probably know that I think ‘peasant’ food is best. It freezes very well and what’s more, you can eat it by itself or stretch it out using rice, bread, noodles or other starchy sides. One of my favourites…

PK’s Slow Cooker Chicken Stock
This was the first time I have made my own stock. Up until this point I had thought it wasn’t worth the time and effort required. I couldn’t have been more wrong :). After a quick bit of prep I left it to its own devices overnight. In the morning I recovered the left over ingredients,…

PK Makes Beef in Oyster Sauce
This was simply the best stir fry I have ever cooked. I literally sighed when I first tasted it and you couldn’t wipe the smile of my face. I knew it was good because everyone came back for seconds, even my toddler :). This dish caught my eye because it calls for tenderising, with a…

PK Makes Ching He Huang’s Beef in Oyster Sauce
My hat off to the BBC chef聽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…

PK’s Coq Au Vin
I have been sitting on this post for about 9 months now because I wasn’t sure it looked appealing. I was worried that you wouldn’t be inspired enough to try it. Sometimes though we need to be reminded that we are our own worst critic and a good friend of mine just did that. She…

PK’s Lazy Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
This slow cooked dish isn’t going to win me points for authenticity but it is tasty, easy to make and kid friendly :). My youngsters insist on having the sour cream (that you would normally mix through) on the side and they are not mushroom fans. I feel however, that you need mushrooms for a…

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,…

PK’s Easy Squid Salad
This squid and green salad is a treat for the eyes and the taste buds. It makes a bit of squid go a long way. 馃檪 The trick is only boiling the squid rings long enough to to make them go opaque and slightly bumpy. Don’t over cook them or you will make rubber salad!…

PK’s Slow Cooked Beef Bourguignon
Beef Bourguignon is a very yummy and very ‘French’ slow cooked beef dish that sounds hard to make. Nothing could be further from the truth, especially if you grew up calling it Beef Burgundy. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting the 4 hours to get to eat it. 馃檪 馃檪 The French sure…

KT’s NoRecipe Green Salad
I used to find making salads overly time-consuming until KT taught me this simple method. It scales really well so you can make it for large gatherings just as easily. You start with a layer of washed and dried greens. I use a salad spinner to do this as it gets them drier than paper…

PK’s Moroccan Chickpea Stew With Lamb And Flatbread
The inspiration for this North African style stew came from browsing Wikipedia for North African dishes.

It is beefed up with pieces of torn semolina flatbread. The flat…

Ham Hock And Cabbage Soup Pressure Cooker
I recently posted a slow cooker version of this ham and cabbage soup. It takes about 6 hours but it is well worth the wait. If you don’t have that long or like me you have gone a bit ‘pressure cooker mad’, you might want to try this version. Once the cooker is up to…
