Toasted Macadamia Shortbread

These are melt-in-your-mouth delicious and takes only minutes to put together. The cookie dough can be frozen until ready to bake.

Mango & Sweet Coconut Risotto

 

When Mangy and I dine out, we often visit a little Thai restaurant near home and we always order their Mango & Sticky Rice for dessert. Always.

Pan roasted crushed baby potatoes

This is one of our favourite potato dishes. The perfect combination of crunchy and fluffy potatoes. You don’t need an oven and it comes together pretty easily. 

Seared Salmon & Pesto

This is a great mid-week meal. Literally takes 10 minutes to prepare and the results are fantastic.

Orange & Almond Cake

This recipe is dairy free, gluten free and chocolate free. But don’t be fooled into thinking it’s good for you.

Falafels

I am snob when it comes to falafels. I refuse to eat a bad falafel, even out of politeness. I just won’t touch it beyond the first bite. Unfortunately, I’ve yet to find good falafels here in Singapore. The texture is never quite right. A little too pasty, a little too dense.

Almond Hummus

This is a nice twist on regular hummus. Using almonds instead of chickpeas give the hummus a nice luxurious feel. The almonds do take a bit of prep work, but it’s so worth it. 

Grilled Stuffed Baby Squid

It’s really difficult to make squid look good on a phone camera (plus I was in a hurry to tuck into my dinner, so I put zero effort into it). You’ll just have to take my word for it, these were awesome! I know they don’t look very appetizing in the picture – but just trust me!

Beer Can Chicken

I know this sounds like a gimmick, but trust me once you’ve tried beer can, you won’t want to roast your chicken any other way.
