Prawns in Dark Sauce
I know it’s been quiet around here lately. We have been eating but it’s mostly been food from the freezer and we haven’t had much time for posting. We actually ate this last Monday but it was good enough that I still remember it.
I worked late and Stephen cooked this ready [...]
Fried Garlic and Coriander Squid, and Pork Rib and Bamboo Shoot Red Curry
A Thai dinner on Saturday, with two recipes from Thai Food. Kerri was at work so I spent a bit of time preparing this but when it was time to cook there was still a load more to be done.
The first was squid, which I bought from the fish stall at a [...]
Read More..>>Stir-Fried Chicken with Vegetables and Noodles
A quick and easy but still tasty dinner this evening, it was mostly comprised of ingredients that we had bought last week with a similar idea in mind but had ended up going out instead.
Quick overview: Stir fry some sliced garlic, finely chopped / minced ginger and sliced chilli for a minute [...]
Peanut Chicken Noodles
Last night when we were wondering what to cook this evening, Kerri chose this recipe as it looked like it would be fairly quick and easy to cook. It doesn’t say anywhere on the page but I imagine it’s Malaysian-inspired given the peanuts and kecap manis. When I got home and we were [...]
Read More..>>Chillied Lamb
Finally back in our own kitchen after the Christmas and New Year period and with only ourselves to please, we went for something spicy. We first saw this recipe when cooking from the Blue Elephant book last week and resolved to cook it soon.
The lamb is a slightly unusual choice and one [...]
Tom Yum Goong and Chicken Satay
The plan was for something light and spicy to counteract the amount of heavy food we’ve eaten over the last few days. The chicken satay was a last minute and very welcome addition.
Tom Yum Goong

600ml chicken stock
12 thin slivers galangal
2 stems lemongrass, finely chopped

Thai Style Mussels
Lately we have been cooking a number of different Thai dishes and happened to have some curry paste left over that we had made for the rabbit curry. We didn’t want to waste it, so we tried to think of something interesting to do with it. Kerri thought of using it to cook a Thai [...]

The title is a bit of a mouthful, but it needs to be to cover everything that we ate. We have been on a bit of a Thai theme for a few weeks now and it culminated in dinner with friends last night. One of the big points about Thai menus is that [...]
Read More..>>Thai Rabbit Curry
Last year when we visited Kerri’s mum one weekend, she had bought a rabbit for us really cheaply. When she recently asked if we wanted another one, we of course said that no, we wanted two. So we picked them up this past weekend. As we have a tiny freezer, we left [...]
Read More..>>Thai Prawn Soup Again
We were planning on cooking moules mariniere tonight, but neither of the shops that we visited had mussels, so we scrapped that idea. Then we thought we would do some sort of spaghetti with prawns, so we bought some prawns. When it came to discussing exactly what sort of “spaghetti with prawns” we [...]
