World Cup Cuisine – Japanese Clams and Spring Onions with Miso and Mustard Sauce
Day four in our World Cup Cuisine escapade and we are already a quarter of the way through our target of cooking the food of half the countries! Today we went for Japan, and chose a recipe that at first glance looked a little like a Japanese version of moules mariniere, but turned out quite […]
Read More..>>Thai Red Chicken Curry
We’ve been without broadband for a few days, due to some unknown BT fault, hence the very late update – we actually ate this on Wednesday. I feel I should try to say something interesting, given the gap in posting, but this was actually made with ready-made paste that has been in the freezer for […]
Read More..>>Thai Noodle and Prawn Salad
Yesterday Kerri commented that she was craving some sort of Thai style salad with lime juice and fish sauce in it and remembered the one we had made in this dinner. So we tried something similar, but it was not as successful this time because we could not get the bean vermicelli at the last […]

We planned a quick dinner this evening of stir fried chicken and bought most of the ingredients yesterday. We weren’t quite sure on an exact recipe, which was left up to me as I arrived home first and started slicing things. I sliced an orange pepper, half an onion, some baby corn and a large […]

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 in vegetable […]
Read More..>>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 about to […]
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 I’m not […]
Read More..>>Tom Yum Goong and Chicken Satay

Tom Yum Goong Serves Two 4 small green chillies 2 coriander roots and stems 600ml chicken stock 12 thin slivers galangal 2 […]
