Lemon Chilli Chicken with Couscous Salad

October 18, 2011 Recipes

Well, the lemon chilli chicken part of this is really pretty straightforward. What is interesting is the couscous salad. At the risk of sounding like a broken record – I’m quite into salads and during summer we eat quite a lot of couscous. But mixing through the same lot of vegetables can get a little [...]

Lime and Chilli Steak Fajitas

October 14, 2011 Recipes

Randomly picked from an old cooking magazine this turned out to be the perfect mid week supper. At the same time, it’s so tasty I think we’ll definitely be dragging it out for summer BBQs. This time it’s Australian Gourmet Traveller, December 2009 and the “Gourmet Fast” section provides our dinner. I skipped over the [...]

Asian Beef Salad

October 4, 2011 Recipes

Another foray into the magazine archives and something I was quite excited to come across. This time, it’s the July 2001 issue of Food and Travel. The Swift Suppers section features recipes from Vatch’s Southeast Asian Salads: 6 salads from all over south east Asia. I needed to work with what I knew to be [...]

Crispy Parmesan Pork

September 27, 2011 Recipes

Apologies for the colour issues in this photo! I’ll stop taking pictures with a camera phone! Another foray into a rogue cooking magazine, another quick supper. This time it’s the April 2011 UK Delicious, brought as a present by my best mate when she visited for a couple of weeks earlier in the year. The [...]

Chicken and Green Onion Fried Rice

September 26, 2011 Recipes

I’ve recently had a shuffle around of my cookery magazine collection which has been a great opportunity to try out some new recipes. Looking for something relatively quick for a mid week supper, I came across this recipe in the March 2003 Australian Gourmet Traveller. This is really a slightly glorified fried rice dish but, [...]

Osso Buco

September 7, 2011 Recipes

I thought I’d make the most of what I hoped was the last of the cooler weather and cook up an osso buco. Our butcher sells the pieces of shank quite cheaply and I figured that the leftovers would make a good freezer standby. I started to look around for recipes and turned first to [...]

Chorizo and Pork Belly

August 3, 2011 Recipes

Let’s face it – that just sounds unbelievably good, no? I’d only just spotted this recipe on BBC’s Good Food site when one of my UK based friends mentioned having had a similar sounding dish at Chez Bruce. Not being a position to nip over to London to try it out for myself, I suspect [...]

Mexican Baked Fish

August 2, 2011 Recipes

Earlier in the week I bought a few too many Coorong mullet fillets and we weren’t able to eat them all in one go (er, strictly speaking, we weren’t able to fit them in the pan all in one go – I’m sure if we tried we’d have been able to eat them all up!). [...]

Chocolate Fudge Cake

October 12, 2010 Recipes

Well, it’s Chocolate Week in the UK so it’s a happy coincidence that, at the last minute I decided to make a cake as an additional dessert for a BBQ with friends. As I still subscribe to (and read!) a lot of UK based food newsletters chocolate was featuring heavily and this simple fudge cake [...]

Arni Souvlaki – Easy Greek Lamb

September 20, 2010 Recipes

14 Sept 2010 With winter retreating, albeit very slowly, it’s time to start thinking about ways to use the BBQ. We were actually trawling some cookbooks looking for a hearty, warming dinner before we realised that actually we didn’t feel like a big pie or casserole. Something lighter and quicker was definitely in order. Elizabeth [...]
