Nothing steals my heart away quite like the combination of peanut butter & chocolate. In fact, I once said of my chocolate covered pretzel peanut butter brownies that this duo could rule the world. It’s no secret that chocolate & peanut butter are a match made in heaven. I mean, have you tried my chocolate peanut butter cake? Case in point. But there’s one humble little guy that pairs quite as well and maybe even better (!...

I love making soup. As well as feeling virtuous for making something homely and healthy, it usually gives me the opportunity to use up the wizened old pieces of veg that are knocking about. I’m sure they sit there (in my little world where I believe vegetables have feelings), thinking they’ve got no chance of being picked compared to the handsome crunchy specimens they’re sharing a shelf with. However the sad fact is, those pieces will probably sit there until they’re wrinkled and waiting to be made into soup too....
I wonder how many recipes I’ve published with sticky in the title… Sticky chicken stir fry, Gingerbread cake with Sticky Whisky glaze, sticky Asian sea bass this sticky pork belly and AT LEAST ten others (just did a quick count). I’m all about the sticky. Just call me sticky Nicky. Actually don’t. That sounds weird. I sometimes like to kid myself and call it caramelized – like this ‘caramelized beef brisket‘....
No lie, when I first tasted this summery strawberry cream cheese pie, I said out loud to an empty kitchen: “Well this is the best pie I’ve ever had.” And, well, I’ve made many pies before. I also make a strawberry cheesecake pie, but today’s pie more closely resembles this blueberry cream pie; the filling is a light cheesecake/whipped cream hybrid, and we’re cooking the strawberry topping into a preserves-like consistency, before folding in more fresh strawberries....

[feast_advanced_jump_to] Slow-cooked until the meat is falling off the bone, then pan fried to crisp up the edges and given a sticky coating right at the last minute. That’s my kind of meal! It’s a technique I first used for my Chinese pork belly (which is one of our most popular recipes on the blog) and I’ve been using it ever since. It works best for meats that are fatty and/or a little on the tough side, and it turns a cheap piece of meat into something amazing!...

[feast_advanced_jump_to] Szechuan chicken, also known as Sichuan chicken, Mala Chicken or Laziji, is a beautifully spiced stir-fried chicken dish, usually served dry, rather than saucy, and characterised by the use of Szechuan peppercorns and lots of dried red chillies. Originating in Chongqing (in Southwest China) it’s a hugely popular dish. Often the chicken is deep-fried (I shallow-fry mine) and the amount of dried chillies in the dish tends to far outweigh the amount of chicken....
What Do You Serve At A BBQ? When most people think of a BBQ, the first thing they think about is the meat. While it is typically the star of the show, you can’t have a successful BBQ without some incredible sides to serve along with it. If you are often stuck with what side dishes to serve at your BBQ or cookout, then I have just the thing for you....
When I first learned to cook with my mother and grandmother, I noticed how aromas were carefully built into the food we prepared. If we made a stock or a dal, spices or aromatic ingredients like onions, garlic, and ginger were cooked in fat over heat to release their aromas and draw them into the fat. Sometimes aromatic ingredients were added toward the end, just before the food would make its way to the table—like fresh lime zest scattered over a slice of pound cake, so you’d smell the citrus aromas immediately....

There are two versions of Vegetable Manchurian, wet and dry. Made with generous amount of garlic and ginger and flavored with soy sauce and vinegar, the wet Vegetable Manchurian (with gravy) complements steamed white rice and is best when drizzled on a serving of steaming hot rice, fried rice or noodles. The dry Vegetable Manchurian is best served as an appetizer and is a favorite in our home. I do get a lot of requests to post snacks and appetizer recipes and I try my best to update the site with such recipes....
