Tasty morsels from home and abroad - a collection of recipes, restaurant reviews and random culinary musings
It’s been a blissful week off blogging (I felt a break was deserved after the back-to-back Paris posts), but with a teetering tower of cookbooks awaiting reviews and a fast-growing backlog, I can slack no longer. First up from the lengthy list (read full article)
I reviewed Ottolenghi’s ‘Plenty’ a few days ago and from the comments it seems everyone possessing the volume (and a few who don’t!) treasures it as much as I do. I thought I’d share another recipe from its pages – (read full article)
I’ve been dining-out far more than eating-in of late, and have barely rustled up a proper weekday meal at home in weeks (unless the juices and brown rice boiled during my 7-day detox constitutes as cooking). I did however manage to squeeze in (read full article)
An easy way with surplus Tonnato (Tuna) Sauce from the Vitello Tonnato: Thinly slice a large Vine-Ripened Tomato and arrange on some Toasted Sourdough. Top with a sliced Hard-Boiled Egg, lashings of Tonnato Sauce and a few twists of Black Pepper. A (read full article)

Every Chinese family has their own soy braised chicken recipe – the one my mum used to make had only chicken wings, as that was my favourite part of the bird as a child. In this version I add boiled eggs (like you would to Chinese braised duck (read full article)
When it comes to breakfasts I generally prefer savoury to sweet, unless french toast or waffles are on offer. Brioche works best as it’s light and buttery, but challah bread or even standard white loaf will suffice – just make sure whatev (read full article)
With all the eating to be done during the holiday season, I’m happy to cut calories wherever I can. This delicious festive eggnog has no cream, uses skimmed milk and has less than one egg yolk per serving, so you can indulge in a cup (or two!) (read full article)

It’s no secret I like to whip up a quick fried rice for simple, yet immensely satisfying meal on a cold day. I am thrilled that one of my favourites, Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice was recently featured on Saveur’s Best of the Web. TodayR (read full article)
I am forever recycling leftovers by making fried rice for lunch the next day – especially now that the weather has turned and it’s too cold for salads and sandwiches. I decided to put in a little more effort today and made a parmesan and (read full article)
Breakfast today: baked Eggs en Cocotte. Super simple, just butter a ramekin, crack in an egg (at room temperature), spoon 1 tbsp double cream over the whites and place in a small deep baking tray lined with parchment paper. Pour boiling water into tr (read full article)
I first tasted Oeufs en Meurette about 10 years ago at the Fig Leaf, a small french restaurant (now closed) in Singapore. It was a revelation – soft poached eggs in a rich, velvety red wine sauce. 7 years later I had the dish again, this time i (read full article)
Today for lunch I made the mexican brunch classic of huevos rancheros, but with a twist – instead of the usual chilli tomato sauce I’ve paired the eggs with a potato and chorizo hash doused with salsa. Packed full of flavour, the smoky ha (read full article)
