See the cookbook above? Great. Now you know what was used as a reference, at least on page 9, which was then promptly chucked because it was just easier to “figure it out” from where we were and then see what happened. Chugging jug after jug of homemade mojitos (my new favourite thing, btw) greatly … Continue reading »
After the whole rush of an entire year celebrated and passed in a week and a half, we’re back to food for one. One daily packed lunch for work, and dinners by the TV, computer or a book, whichever your routine. For matching leftovers (such as marinated sliced beef here) and for packed lunches, this … Continue reading »
I’d written before that a traditional chilli con carne would typically need coriander seeds, tomatoes, and chillies, based on an early recipe I’d experimented with. With this dish, however, I wasn’t starting from scratch. A dish like chilli is easy to experiment with, but figuring out the combinations was what tickled my intrigue.

These garlic and herb sausages were like bacon in any dish – an instant perk-upper, an instant hit of the most addictive drug, the fastest get-me-to-high I know in food that involves sausages. They were random store-bought … Continue reading »
I have to be honest and say that every chilli con carne recipe I’ve ever came across in books and blogs simply never registered – my eyes would glaze over as if it were a recipe for baby food. It’s strange, because I’ve definitely eaten Mexican food before, and the taste is striking, it’s just … Continue reading »
I’m not sure how the rest of the world is doing it, since I see posts popping up everywhere, but I’ve been unable to post anything up to blogger except for this trail of words which I can’t edit (all I see on my uploading page is a big box, the title and labels. All … Continue reading »
I had a craving for meatloaf, which was strange as I had never tasted one before. What I imagined was a cross between steak and pie, but I think I must be quite off the mark. Nevertheless, I rolled up my sleeves and got down to it. To start, I made garlic whipped potatoes with … Continue reading »
