PK’s You..Can’t..Handle..The..Guac
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 Reviews: Mr Fothergill’s Windowsill Greenhouse Kits
The lovely people at Mr Fothergill’s (Australia) have sent me out four of their Windowsill greenhouse kits to review. I am reviewing the Lebanese Cucumber kit here and I have asked three of my friends to trial the others. I simply love this company’s ethos and focus on consistently delivering a good product. Although not…

PK’s NoRecipe Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
I love hard boiled eggs served warm with a pinch of salt and pepper or cold and sliced in a salad. I want to share a method for making the perfect hard boiled egg that I learnt as a child. Take a small saucepan and fill with enough room temperature water to cover the eggs.…

PK’s Thai Beef Salad
I love south east asian salads. They are a feast for your eyes and your taste buds. The range of flavours is diverse and so hard to get right sometimes. The pay off is worth it though and this particular dish is no exception. It is now a family favourite and lends itself well to any…

PK Makes Poh’s Nyonya Chicken Curry
What I like most about this dish is that you get to make your own curry paste (or in Nyonyan cuisine ‘a rempah’). Please see Malay for spice if you want more information. When I cook this meal I reduce the sauce until it sticks to the chicken, the roof of your mouth and, of…

PK’s Coriander And Garlic Sauce
I first had this sauce (store bought) when I was in Darwin 2016. It is simple to make but it packs a real astringent wallop. I used this recipe originally from http://www.tarladalal.com/ (this site is amazing FYI) and I am going to experiment a bit with the amount of garlic and sugar . I also blended it…

PK’s Nyonya Rempah
This Malaysian curry paste looks hard to make on first glance. After a few goes though you will be able to make it blindfolded and I hope like me you find it an enjoyable process :). I make it well ahead of time for my favourite south-east Asian curry, a sticky Nyonyan Chicken Curry (see…

PK’s NoRecipe Garlic Butter
A really simple chives and parsley flavoured garlic butter that goes well with anything. You can even add some dill to make it the perfect partner with seafood without fear of it taking over in the taste department. I suppose it would probably keep for a while in the fridge but I have only ever…
