  • Lebanese Koftas with Tabbouleh & Yogurt Sauce

    Koftas are middle eastern meatballs, usually made from lamb, beef, pork, chicken or a mixture with spices, herbs and nuts. They are shaped into balls, patties or logs, sometimes on skewers and then grilled and served with bread, salads & dips. It's the perfect recipe for dinner with friends over the summer.
  • Bubble & Squeak

    Bubble & Squeak is the perfect way to use up and breathe new life into what can sometimes be boring leftovers. It can be served on its own or with the usual breakfast suspects like: an egg, bacon, some greens, anything really, including a drizzling of my chilli oil, because it would be rude not to!
  • Corn Tortillas

    I've always wanted to learn how to make tortillas from scratch and it turns out, it's so easy! All you need is three ingredients: Masa Harina, s...
  • Wonton Soup

    I love eating wontons in a soup, and this is how I like to prepare mine. You can grab the following ingredients, but ideally just use whatever you have on hand at home. 
  • Temaki Sushi Spread (手巻き寿司)

    A temaki sushi spread is an easy dinner party option because there’s minimal cooking and everything can be prepped before your guests arrive. I’v...
  • Bánh Flan

    Bánh Flan is a Vietnamese version of a Creme Caramel. In this version, I’ve used a mixture of cream and milk for the flan, whilst some versions sometimes use condensed milk to make it extra sweet and rich.
  • Banana Pancakes

    This morning’s craving for a sweet, warm brekkie had me taking two overripe bananas from my fruit bowl and making pancakes. This is a very loose recipe with plenty of scope for you to eyeball the batter and add whatever toppings you want, but I kept it fairly simple with just some @pepesaya butter and maple syrup to drench the pancakes in something rich and sweet.
  • Laksa Lemak

    My recipe for Laksa Lemak, where I show you how to either make your curry paste and stock from scratch, as well as my hacks on how to speed up the process for a weeknight meal.
  • Wontons Your Way

    I'm sharing my family recipe for Pork & Prawn Wonton's, and because the sky is the limit when making these, I'm giving you the choice to make them your own way. I’m sharing not two but five folding techniques as well as three different ways to cook them: boiled, in a wonton soup and deep fried. So go on, have some fun in the kitchen again and choose your own wonton cooking adventure!
  • Orecchiette with Sausage & Broccolini

    5 ingredients and a 15 minute pasta that’s flavourful and perfect for a weeknight meal. Recipe below to what I did last week when I made it. The nduja is optional but I love the extra flavour and dimension it adds to the sauce and the way it flavours the broccolini. I use broccolini for ease, but you can also use broccoli. You just need to cut it into thinner pieces and may need to blanche before adding to the pasta.
  • Radicchio & Orange Salad

    This is one of my go-to salads for winter. Two in-season ingredients as the base for a sweet and bitter contrast and herbs and whatever else you have on hand (a sprinkle of cheese) to add to it. Sometimes if I want it extra crunchy, I’ll shave some fennel bulb and use the fronds for the dressing too.
  • Chicken, Corn & Egg Drop Soup

    Ingredients 1 whole chicken 4-5 corn cobs 1 leek: keep the green stalks for the stock and wash the white stalks and cut into 2cm slices for the s...
