Haupia is a popular traditional Hawaiian dessert made from coconut milk, cornstarch and sugar. This naturally gluten free coconut pudding is very simple and takes just 10 minutes to make and doesn't require an oven. The silky, creamy haupia tastes fantastic and have a fine consistency somewhere between pudding and panna cotta. Traditionally, the haupia are cubed and served plain. But you can also garnish them with fresh fruit or fruit sauces (I used mango here). If you are going to serve them in glasses, garnish them with some caramelised pineapples and/or toasted sesames since both are important ingredients in Hawaiian cuisine.

Chicken Marbella, inspired by Mediterranean flavours, although the dish was named after Marbella, a city in Spain, was actually created by the chefs at The Silver Palate in New York City. It is famous for its sweet, tangy, briny, garlicky flavour. Chicken pieces are nestled alongside briney olives and capers, sweet, juicy prunes and white wine, vinegar, lots of garlic, oregano, olive oil and brown sugar, then roasted until caramelised and the marinade cooked into a heavenly sauce collected at the bottom—truly one of the simple pleasures in life! Instead of brown sugar, you can also use coconut sugar, or even date syrup for the topping.

A highlight of French pastry! The buttery sweet shortcrust pastry base is filled with a velvety, fruity raspberry curd, which is then covered with airy, delicate meringue flamed off with a kitchen blowtorch at the very end. If desired, garnish them with some chopped pistachios or crush some freeze-dried raspberries over the top. This tart not only tastes delicious, it also looks elegant: a great dessert idea for celebration or just because.

These adorable carrot-shaped flaky pastries are filled with a delectable roasted carrot hummus—they can be filled with herbed cheese or tuna cream if you ain’t into hummus and would make a fun starter or snack.
If you don’t have those cone-shaped moulds, make your own with aluminum foil and baking paper. Cut a regular baking paper into 4 rectangles. Roll up each rectangle into a funnel and secure the baking paper at the sides with a stapler. To make the funnel a little more stable, place a small ball of aluminium foil in the funnel and press the top ends of the baking paper roughly into the funnel.

This cake is sure to wow everyone at dinner. The recipe is actually pretty easy, the only tedious task is to separate 12 eggs and the only special piece of equipment you’ll need is a angel food tube pan which helps give angel food cake its lift thanks to the high sides and center hole. Use the egg yolks to make omelette, lemon curd or ice cream.

Full of zing, crunch and fresh flavour, this recipe is a great way to use up some leftover homemade falafel. Whether it’s for breakfast, brunch or a quick snack, it’s a dish to enjoy with your family and friends. It is wonderful to enjoy it as a salad, but equally delicious stuffed into pitta pockets or with charred wraps. It’s very easy to make falafel at home, either using soaked chickpeas, or canned one for ease, and they can be fried, baked or airfried. Or just buy a pack of those premix and you will have the dinner in 30 minutes.

Coffee and chilli-rubbed beef koftas with a simple grilled onion and herb salad, adapted slightly from Ottolenghi, are truly a Middle-Eastern feast and perfect for a bbq or party. The rich and smoky flavour of coffee add a depth of flavour and complexity to those koftas without overpowering the natural, beefy flavour. To avoid an overly bitter flavour when cooking at 240C/475F, use instant coffee instead of coffee grinds. The caffeine is going to burn off during the cooking process, similar to cooking with alcohol. As an added bonus, the acidity in coffee helps tenderise the meat. And mild cascabel chilli adds just the right amount of heat.

Star anise is used to give a licorice flavour to this succulent, aromatic braised chicken, ready in under an hour. If you don’t have it, use 1 teaspoon of anise seeds instead. You can prepare it with any cut of chicken, although I always prefer bone-in, skin-on chicken legs. Serve with a light cucumber salad, steamed rice or bao if desired. It makes for a delicious midweek meal everyone will rave about.

With a fun quilt pattern, this poppyseed cake with a cheesecake topping really makes a statement. Not only does it look great, but it also tastes fabulous. This cake recipe offers a little variety and a wow flavour experience that you don’t want to miss out. Schmand is German sour cream with a much higher fat content than regular sour cream. No Schmand, no problem, use crème fraîche instead. If you're feeling adventurous, swapping some homemade eggnog for the buttermilk. I have baked this cake for a few times with different ingredients and temperatures, and the first time I prepared the batter with eggnog and baked at 190C/375F for 50 minutes for a more golden topping. The cake was very tender on first day, and became slightly dry on the 2nd day, but still very good. Other times all with buttermilk and baked at 180C/350 for 45 minutes until lightly browned and it stayed very tender and soft even after 3rd day.

Ripe banana can be used to make a creamy, fruity curry sauce that goes perfectly with roasted chicken or chicken schnitzel. Using fruit creates a deliciously thick sauce with a perfect balance of savoury and sweet. Mango is another excellent alternative and crème fraîche can also be replaced with Greek yoghurt or sour cream.

Elevate your appetizer game with this light and delicate tomato mousse with avocado! Made with sweet vine-ripened tomatoes, shallot, olive oil and lemon juice, this recipe is easy, packed with tomato flavour and delicious. They are ideal for summer gatherings or as a light lunch with some homemade bread. Add some cocktail shrimp or mini Mozzarella to the avocado mixture for the protein boost if desired. For a change, I have chilled the pudding in glasses at an angle, but you can simply fill some pretty glasses and top with the avocado mixture.

Bursting with warming flavours and aromas of spices like coriander, turmeric and chilli, satay is a popular street food across Southeast Asia countries. The meat (chicken, lamb, beef or pork) are marinated (preferably overnight), skewered, then grilled to perfectly charred and served with a rich peanut dipping sauce. You can use a mix of meat to make the satay. At home we even use tofu and fish. For the dipping sauce, I opt for the cashews. For this recipe you will need 18-20 skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before using. For the extra crunch and kick, top with some roasted cashews and chilli rings.
