We’re in our fifth year of hosting Friendsgiving. Every year, we hit the same roadblock: I run out of space in the oven. It’s not the mad chaos of 30 guests jockeying for seats at our table—and couch, card table, and when desperate, the stairs—that irks me (my friends are excellent sports) or even the fact that last year we drank wine out of empty jam jars because I ran out of glasses....
Tonight we’re eating out – but in!!! I just wanted to do something to help our restaurant industry The COVID-19 pandemic has obliterated our restaurant industry. But they are rising from the ashes, emerging with innovative new offerings for these times. Multi-course fine dining at home, elite produce previously reserved for hatted restaurants, home delivery cocktails. They are working their guts out to survive and keep their staff employed. And I just wanted to do something to help....
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Though my brother, sister and I all know how to make Japanese food, it’s an unspoken rule that when it comes to Japanese food, that’s mum’s domain. So if any of us have a particular craving for a Japanese meal, we submit requests. Sister: “Mum, can you make oden for us this weekend? Puh-lease??” Brother: “Mum, we’re heading out to the harbour for New Years’ Eve fireworks....
The dish stores well for a couple of days and is a tasty choice for a make ahead dinner. About Kadala Curry Kadala is a Malayali word for Chickpeas. So kadala curry is a curried dish of black chickpeas where they are simmered with onions, ground and whole spices, coconut paste or coconut milk and curry leaves. A typical South Indian tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves adds a punch to this kadala curry....

But like anything else that they turn into one of those dinners, the homemade version is about eleventy billion times better. And this low carb keto salisbury steak recipe with mushroom and onion gravy is no exception. It may look impressive (and it tastes impressive, let me tell you!...
Along with the flavorful marinara and creamy cheese layer, this dish also uses mozzarella and parmesan cheese. That means it’s not vegan-friendly. But that also means you can serve a big helping of cheesy garlic bread on the side! Trust me, this meatless baked ziti makes for one satisfying and comforting vegetarian dinner. Meatless Baked Ziti Saying goodbye to meat doesn’t mean saying goodbye to flavor. Take this meatless baked ziti, for example....
Methi Rice Methi leaves known as fenugreek leaves are fragrant & slightly bitter tasting leafy greens, often used in Indian cooking to make lentil dishes, curries, parathas, snacks and even rice dishes. I love the convenience of making one pot dishes where all the ingredients are almost dumped and cooked to a pilaf/ pulao. But a lot of times I also precook the rice and add it to stir fried veggies and make various kinds of fried rice....
Mmmmm….pizza……Mmmmm….Mexican food…. Good things can happen when you do mash-ups. Just like with music. 🙂 When you merge two of my favourite food groups (pizza is a food group, isn’t it?), you pretty much get heaven on a plate. Pizza tray. Cutting board. Whatever. I don’t care – I just want some! I have never snapped photos as fast as I did for this. Not because it’s a freezing cold day here in Sydney and I wanted to snap pictures before the cheese hardened and look completely unappetising, but because THIS IS MY LUNCH!...
Molten Chocolate Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakes, also known as Lava Cakes, are warm individual-size chocolate cakes with oozing chocolate centres. Most recipes will simply have you undercooking a chocolate cake batter, so the outside is set like cake but the inside is raw batter that pours out like lava when you cut into it. Hence the name! But why settle for cake batter when you can have the real thing? I’ll take molten real chocolate over raw cake, thanks!...
Molten cakes are one of the most popular desserts down in Brazil, where they are called “petit gateau“. Every restaurant serves a version, with chocolate being the obvious choice most of the time. That is, until you try the dulce de leche version! Oh my goodness, you guys. I can’t begin to describe the feeling of cutting through one of these and watching the thick caramel-y goodness flowing out and waiting – no, begging – for you to scoop it out and taste it....

Chewy Apricot Muesli Bars remind me of my childhood. A very popular brand in Australia (you can probably guess who) had a muesli bar of the same name and I had one in my school lunch everyday. So when I was trying to decide what flavour to make these muesli bars it really was a no brainer! I couldn’t wait to try and recreate it. These bars are perfect for a lunchbox filler, especially if you’re worried about how much sugar is in traditional muesli bars....
