Welchy’s Prawn Stack
In the spirit of Good Friday and sticking to my parents tradition (and somewhat of my own), I took the opportunity to make something new and exciting. Growing up my brother and I used to dowse fish in tomato sauce or insist the fillets were bread-crumbed just so we could eat it. Dial ahead 12…

PK’s NoRecipe Thai Fish Cakes
Fish cakes taste great and are an amazing way of making a little bit of fish go further. They were a staple growing up and one of the dishes my mum cooked us that will always stay with me :). I never use a recipe and no two batches come out the same and that…

PK’s NoRecipe Dried Citrus Slices
I love preserving food as much as I like growing it (and talking about it). So I did some googling on ways to preserve citrus after my lemon tree decided to try and bury me in fruit :). My lime tree is a heavy cropper too but in Perth it is not hard to find…

Ben’s Windfall Lime Pickle
This windfall lime pickle is a prime example of preserving your harvests. I encourage you to eat fresh produce during their particular growing season and then their (hopefully made by you) preserved cousins off season. The mass produced commercial versions just don’t compare. It’s important to use very ripe limes. I use the ones that…

How To Make Preserved Citrus
It’s winter in Perth, Western Australia and this year we are having a really good lemon and orange harvest. I am always on a look for ways to preserve any surplus and a good friend of mine suggested I try making preserved lemons. She won me over with ‘they go great in Tagines’ but she…

Lime Common
I love cooking with limes (and adding slices of them to Gin and Tonics) just as much as I do sharing limes from the tree in my kitchen garden. No one in Perth will turn down a home grown lime, they are that prized. There is even a lime tree in my driveway ,that is constantly…

PK’s Cheaters Red Curry Paste
Here is my, unashamedly, unauthentic red curry paste :). I use it to make Thai Red Chicken Curries and also Tom Kha Gai (one of my favourite south-east Asian soups). Please read PK’s Curry Paste Kit before you get going and also ramp the chili factor skywards if you are allowed to. You will notice that I use…

Limes
I love cooking with Persian limes (these are a common cultivar in Australia) just as much as I do sharing limes from the tree in my kitchen garden. No one in Perth will turn down the offer of a bag of limes. Fresh lime juice, zest and leaves are essential to southeast asian cooking so I…

The Easiest Guacamole
I like anything with avocado in it so it is no surprise that I love my home made ‘guac’. If only because I use as much stuff from my kitchen garden as possible. I love anything that works well with ‘make your own combination’ meals like taco or nacho night. Every avocado lover probably has…

PK’s Cheaters Pho Ga For One
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…

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…
