Vietnamese Caramel Pork

GOOOOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOORNING VIETNAAAAAAAAM! Or good evening, because you probs wouldn’t eat this in the morning. Unless it was 3am and you had a skinful, because Asian food is extra delicious in this case. Caramel Pork is one of those sweet/salty/fatty flavour combos...

Zucchini Fries with Sriracha Mayo

This is chapter 3 of my best-selling novel “Zucchini Pretending To Be Things Other Than Zucchini”. So after brownies and zoodles, this cheeky veg has only gone and become fries. And damn delicious fries at that.

Vegan Bolognese

So you watched ‘What the Health?’ And now you’re thinking “what the Hell am I going to eat now that I’ve turned vegan for the next 2 weeks or until I get drunk and eat a kebab at 3am”? Well don’t stress, I’ve knocked up a family fave so you can force everyone in the...

Sweet & Sticky Chicken Wings

Ain’t no thing like a chicken wing! This recipe is based off one of the first things I learned how to cook when I was a kid, but they were chicken legs and, wait for it, they were cooked in the microwave. Foul (see what I did there?) But hey, it was the 80’s and it...
Schnitzel

Zucchini and Carrot Fritters

When people get over the horror that I don’t start my day with a bowl of Crapflakes, they are always interested in what I eat for brekky. “Like, so, do you just eat bacon and eggs, like, everyday??” While that sounds delicious, even I need a breather from that piggy goodness. Team these with some […]

Spanish Chicken Casserole

Spanish Chicken Casserole

While I’d like to say I tasted this dish in some awesome restaurant travelling through Spain last summer, that would be a lie. This dish was invented in my little Satwa kitchen, because I had some chorizo in my fridge that was edging close to its use-by date and...

Massaman Curry

Massaman Curry

There is a little restaurant in Bangkok called Ban Chiang which I visit every time I’m there. It’s quite an unexpected place considering its location, but it never disappoints. It’s in an old Thai house, surrounded by loads of greenery and serves the most kick-ass...

Nasi Goreng

Nasi Goreng

I love Nasi Goreng. it brings back happy memories of our wedding week in Bali. I was some sort of Nasi Goreng monster that week. I swear I ate it every day, maybe sometimes twice a day. I was probably lucky I was still able to zip up my dress on the big day to […]
