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 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…

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)…

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…

Easy Thai Beef Salad
I love southeast asian salads. They are a feast for your eyes and your taste buds. The range of flavours is so diverse, you will never get bored of them. The key to a good beef salad is a great dressing and a good cut of beef that is thinly sliced and not over cooked.…

Bish’s Chicken Congee for the Soul
The health benefits of your favourite comfort foods 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…

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…

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’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…

Welchy’s Roasted Stuffed Capsicums
I’ve been out of action for quite some time…finishing studies and moving on with new adventures in my life meant that writing was pushed to the back burner – but cooking was still on the fore front of my mind! Cooking for me is a release. Where some might read a book, go for a…

PK’s NoRecipe Nasi Goreng
This simple rice dish is as Indonesian as it gets. It is such a pleasant meal to make and eat. The secrets are the sweet soy sauce used in many Indonesian dishes, ketjap manis, and the addition of a runny fried egg. Best of all you can make it with any combination of ingredients, even…

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’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 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…

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…

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…

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…
