  • Karen’s Black Pepper, Walnut and Cumin-stuffed Chicken roasted with Pumpkin

    Karen’s Black Pepper, Walnut and Cumin-stuffed Chicken roasted with Pumpkin

    Karen, Karen, Karen.  She never fails me and I love her.  Another winner flavour combo and simple to make.  I mean, you’ve gotta love a roast on a Sunday night, shove it in the oven and wait.  But this, with the walnut pesto and enough butter to please Julia Childs stuffed under the skin, is…

  • Poh’s Hainanese Chicken Rice

    Poh’s Hainanese Chicken Rice

    Well, it’s been a long while between posts… Somewhere along the way I got a bit distracted with other things, but we’re still cookin’ here, so it’s about time I put up some of the dishes we’ve been tucking into of late.  This first one is simply put, Asian comfort food.  Hainanese chicken rice is a…

  • Karen’s 20-Clove Pot Roasted Chicken with Celeriac, Potato, Cinnamon and Lemon

    Karen’s 20-Clove Pot Roasted Chicken with Celeriac, Potato, Cinnamon and Lemon

    How good are pot roasts?  It seems like such a retro dish, but those 70’s mums had it right all along.  They’re so yummy and moist and dead simple to whip up for Sunday night dinner.  This recipe uses celeriac, which is my veg of the moment.  It has to be one of the less…

  • Chicken, Sausage and Pumpkin Bake

  • Spiced Chicken Tortillas

    Spiced Chicken Tortillas

    Karen Martini produces some of my all time favourite recipes.  Her flavour combinations are always spot on and almost without fail simple to put together.  I only made this Mexican inspired recipe for the first time a few weeks ago.  

  • Israeli Cutlets (Schnitzel)

    Israeli Cutlets (Schnitzel)

    In keeping with the Israeli theme and something to go perfectly with the Israeli salad, this spiced up schnitzel recipe from The Nosher gives new life to an old favourite.  I use chicken but the recipe suggests turkey breast, which you don’t see often here in Oz, but which could be rather festive this time…

  • Bang Bang Chicken

    Bang Bang Chicken

    Ignore the image (if you can)…  This is a great easy summer dinner which takes poached chicken salad to a whole new level.  The recipe I use is from SBS Food, but there are more than a few different versions out there.  I remember reading that this is a traditional Chinese street food snack
