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,…

Bish’s Chicken Porridge for the Soul
Comfort foods’ health benefits should not be underrated. Traditional recipes especially because they have been handed down from generation to generation for a reason. Special guest blogger Bish writes: I’ve been crook most of the week, and as a result I ended up cooking one of my “comfort” foods, congee, or rice porridge. The thing…

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’s NoRecipe Potato and Bacon Soup
I love Potato and Bacon soup and make it in large batches primarily for a mid morning work snack. This saves me lots of money and I know I am eating healthily. The only salt is from the bacon and the salted margarine/butter blend. I add a few additional fresh ingredients to suit what is…

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 Cooks Taste.com.au’s 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…

When someone mentions Vietnamese cuisine I immediately think of the famous Vietnamese noodle dish called Pho. Pho (pronounced ‘fur’ but without the hard r) is a modern take on more traditional dishes but the Vietnamese people rapidly took to this healthy “fast food” and then spread it around the globe. I imagine everyone has their…

Corn Cob Stock
Recently I have become obsessed with using whole corn cobs in my vegetable and meat stocks. They give the stock a nice savoury depth. I love how you can take an old cob languishing in the back of the fridge and give it a new lease on life. I freeze them if I have too…

This simple chicken stock is a great base from which to make a huge range of Asian dishes. I use it to make Udon soup and when I am poaching chicken thighs for example. There are three stages in making this stock. Firstly throw ginger, garlic and sliced onion into a large pot of water.…
