  • Pineapple & Passionfruit Tarte Tatin

    Traditionally Tarte Tatin is made with apples or pears but I’ve decided to give it a tropical spin using fresh pineapple and passionfruit which g...
  • Apple Tarte Tatin

    This recipe is flakey, bake-ey, saucey, glossy, caramel-ey, tasty but most of all easy! It's a French classic, easier than apple pie and I dare s...
  • Pad Kra Pow Gai (Thai Basil Chicken Stir Fry)

    This is a Thai street food stir fry that consists of chicken mince, basil and beans. Simply serve with rice but I also love serving it with a crispy egg and some Thai dipping sauce called ‘prik nam pla’ as it adds a whole other dimension to the dish. If you’re adding an egg the dish is called  "kao pad gaprao gai kai dao", which simply means rice with chicken holy basil stir-fry and a fried egg. 
    This is my go-to weeknight meal as it comes together really quickly with minimal chopping and prep. 
  • Chicken Karaage (Tori no Karaage- 鶏の唐揚げ)

    唐揚げ(karaage) is a Japanese cooking technique where an ingredient or protein is lightly coated with flour and deep-fried. It’s most commonly done with chicken, hence the 鶏(tori) in Tori no Karaage- 鶏の唐揚げ means chicken to denote that this is a chicken karaage.
  • Pork & Prawn Rice Paper Rolls

    This is one of my favourite traditional Vietnamese recipes. Think of it as a quintessential Vietnamese Surf’n’Turf. The pork belly gives it the fat and richness, the prawn makes it sweet and the rice paper rolls are filled with lots of fresh herbs (Vietnamese mint, mint, coriander, garlic chives), cucumber and lettuce.
  • Salt & Pepper Squid

    What makes this dish so special is the addition of makrut lime leaves that makes it incredibly fragrant and gives it more of a Southeast Asian twist on the classic Chinese-style salt and pepper squid recipe
  • Prawn Stuffed Zucchini Flowers

    It’s giving: stuffed zucchini flowers had a baby with prawn toast.

  • Kingfish & Grapefruit Tartare

    A summer starter recipe that is a fresh, zingy and a little spicy! I love a chip and dip situation for any moment and occasion, so I created a tartare made of kingfish and grapefruit that you can enjoy with the chips and serve as a starter for your next gathering.

  • Mango & Peach Butterflied BBQ Chicken

    A summery chicken recipe that makes the most of summer fruits like mango and peach! The marinade is an easy ‘chuck everything into a blender situation’ with mango, peach, onion, chilli, garlic, smoked paprika, oil, vinegar, brown sugar and salt that you just thicken and reduce down in a pot. This quantity of marinade in this recipe is enough for at least 3 chickens, so keep the remainder in a jar in the fridge to use up on your next meal.
