Sunday, June 14, 2026Bold, fiery chicken perattu or peralan is a delicacy from Kerala, India. Marinated bite-sized chicken is stir-fried with coconut oil in a blend of kashmiri chilli powder, coriander powder, curry leaves, and a freshly-ground red chilli paste until masala nicely coated on the chicken.

Black Garlic Beef Short Ribs
Saturday, June 06, 2026| |

This delicious dish has two of my favourite ingredients - beef short ribs and black garlic. It’s a dish that when done right, falls off the bone and melts in your mouth, and a dish that promises to deliver both comfort and flavour. The rich, caramel and molasses flavours of black garlic pair perfectly with the deep beef flavour of short ribs. Enjoy them over some rice, with root vegetables or simply with a glass of robust red wine. You can take the meat off the bone for easy eating, or leave on for the beautiful presentation.
Black garlic is what truly sets this short rib casserole apart. It’s regular garlic that has been aged and fermented, resulting in a softer, molasses-like texture with a sweet and tangy flavour devoid of the usual garlic pungency. It is not just a flavour enhancer but also a powerhouse of antioxidants. It is everything you love about garlic but even better.
Achiote Chicken

If you've never cooked with achiote paste, you're in for a treat! This roasted achiote chicken is juicy, tender, citrusy and packed with rich Mexican flavours from a homemade achiote paste. You can easily purchase them online, but it is so much better when made at home, as you can use fresher ingredients and control everything that goes into it.
Achiote paste is a popular seasoning widely used in Mexican, Central American, and Caribbean cuisines. It’s made with annatto seeds, garlic, oregano, spices, optional chillies, and citrus juice. Known for their distinctive red colour, earthy, zesty flavour, they are excellent as a marinade for meat. Store the prepared paste in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
Saffron Chicken

The chicken mariantes overnight (or at least 30 minutes) in a flavourful, well-seasoned marinade of bloomed saffron, yoghurt, garlic, and lemon juice that deliver the perfect combination of acidity, sweetness, and umami - absolutely irresistible. I go for chicken thighs with the skin on and bone in, because they are nearly impossible to overcook and stay incredibly juicy. However, you can use only chicken breasts if you prefer. Adjust the cooking time and oven temperature accordingly.
Crispy Milk Braised Pork Belly
Sunday, May 24, 2026| |

The key to great pork crackling is to ensure your pork rind is perfectly dry for maximum crackling. Blasting the pork in a very hot oven to begin with to get the skin crunchy, then slow cook it for a further 90 minutes in a bath of spiced milk (inspired by the Italian classic maiale all latte or pork in milk), which makes it really moist and tender. For the crispiest crackling, make sure you don’t splash milk on the rind when you add it. You can roast some potato wedges with the pork to help soak up the milk. Alternatively, serve them with a simple mashed potato or polenta to absorb the milk sauce. I served the pork belly with a radicchio salad tossed with a red wine vinegrette (Thank you, David, for this great idea), and used the milk to bake some bread

Porterhouse Steak with Thai Dressing

This tasty Asian inspired marinade is quick to prepare and works beautifully with any cut of steak and will result in steaks that are savoury, sweet, and loaded with flavour. This is another wonderful option to add to your rotation of Thai food to make at home. Serve it with a fresh seasonal salad of your choice. The bird's eye chillies are significantly hotter than common red chillies, deseed them if you prefer a milder sauce.
Greek Feta Stuffed Chicken with Oregano

A cheap and effortless way to jazz up chicken! Juicy chicken legs are filled with tangy Greek feta, garlic and fennel, then roasted until golden and irresistible. Pungent, earthy, and slightly peppery fresh oregano complements the tangy lemon, briny feta and rich chicken flavours beautifully. If unavailable, you can substitute it with thyme or rosemary. I used skin on boneless chicken legs, but you can leave the bone in or use 8 chicken thighs. Half the feta filling if you are going to use a whole chicken. Easy to make, but it's still fancy enough to serve at a dinner party.

Braised Chicken with Belgian Endive

A delicious pairing that balances the savory, juicy chicken thighs with the slightly bitter, creamy texture of the roasted Beligum endives. Dry white wine serves multiple functional roles here, keeping the chicken moist and tender while adding depth of flavour and adding a balancing acidity to the salty flavours from the bacon. Serve it with some crusty bread to mop up the sauce or over some buttered noodles.
