Spicy Lime & Chicken Curry Laksa
I’ve not been feeling too well so I thought I’d cook something that’s relatively easy to do and full of flavour and spice. What better than a laksa? This is a chicken dish that is heavy on the citrus notes and despite feeling rough I couldn’t wait to get started. You can find the original … Continue reading
Japanese Rice
If there’s one thing that a lot of East Asian cultures take very seriously it’s their rice. When I prepare a Japanese dish I like to have it with sushi rice. It’s a short grain rice that gets nice and sticky but holds it’s individual form. I love it with a heavy helping of shoyu … Continue reading
Yakitori – Japanese Grilled Skewered Chicken
I’ve been cooking this for so long I really didn’t think I’d remember where I got the recipe from but just in the bottom right hand corner of the scrappy page where it’s written I can just read a web address which would take you here where you can find the recipe I started using a … Continue reading
Pho Bo – Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup
If you’ve been following this blog for a while (Thank You!) you’ll have realised that I’m quite a fan of Asian food and I just love the noodle broths that come out of the different areas.

This week I’m looking at some hearty and inexpensive meals. Funnily enough I’ve taken all of them from the BBC GoodFood website. It’s a wonderful resource for the home cook and there’s so much on there that I reckon you could use it every day and it would keep you cooking until the end of … Continue reading
Jim’s Sweet Potato with Tuna & Salad
Sometimes I see a recipe and think “Yeah, but what to put with it?” and then I see a suggested accompaniment and all of a sudden I’m thinking “Why haven’t these been combined into one?” The two recipes in question today are for Tuna Sweet Potato Jackets and a Tomato, Cucumber & Coriander salad. They’re … Continue reading
Hasselback Potatoes
If you’ve seen my last post for beer battered fish (by Donal Skehan) you’ll have seen that the fish was served with something called Hasselback potatoes. Again I got the recipe from Donal and you can find it here along with his beer battered fish recipe. I hadn’t heard of these before so I did a … Continue reading
