charred eggplant dip with olive oil quinoa crackers

You can go ahead and use this recipe for the olive oil crackers if you like. I put them in my boy's lunchbox and serve them with soup. BUT the charred eggplant dip is gorgeous, more simple to make than you know, and I regularly call this little pairing dinner.

Pumpkin and turmeric soup with Parmesan croutons

Pumpkin soup, spiced slightly with turmeric and with Parmesan-laden torn-up croutons on top. Meal prep might seems like a bit of a burden but here’s my guide to getting s@#t done while you’re having your morning coffee!

espresso martini bubble tea

A bubble-tea-cocktail that’s also a pick-me-up - here’s my modern take on the espresso martini ... maybe not so sophisticated as the original but we all need a bit more fun in our lives right now!

pork ribs with sichuan salt

Sichuan salt is such a cheery alternative to that cloying and sticky, sweet sauce we often find on pork ribs. Feel free to simplify the marinade with what you have on hand - this version adds to the flavour but what you really need is seasoning, and that spicy salt when you serve it.

chicken salad with spicy sesame dressing

This is a dish I turn to for a weekly meal plan - it's a recipe the kids love as much as the adults (tweaking the chilli for each of us). I've even done this with leftover roast chicken (thank you Sunday roast), making it an excellent Monday night dinner. It's fresh, light, and a rather excellent start to the week. I tend to use tahini as a dressing for the kids.

Chinese egg custard tarts

Sunday at my place is yum cha day. And when I can’t get to an actual restaurant we turn urgently to this recipe for egg custard tarts.

If you love something savoury for breakfast, then have a go at this light spiced kedgeree. It's rice, salmon, and you know what, add a fried egg if you like.
