Try this creamy, warming one pan salmon for your next curry night! Either use store-bought green curry paste or make your own, you'll be tucking into this delicious, flavoursome dish in no time at all. I used pak choi, but sugar peas, asparagus, broccolini, or zucchini ribbons would all work great. Sweet coconut cream tempers the fiery pungency of green chillies, but feel free to deseed the green chillies if you prefer less heat.
Keto Chicken Piccata

Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, seasoned and pan-seared to perfection until the skin is golden crispy, paired with a bright, tangy, buttery sauce. A quick and delicious meal that can be on the table in 30 minutes.
Piccata is a quick and delicious Italian-American dish with Italian roots. Traditionally, it uses veal cutlets lightly dredged in flour, pan-seared and served in a lemon butter sauce and the name reflects exactly its preparation method. I tried a less traditional recipe with chicken thighs and omitted the flour-coating. You are welcome to use chicken breast or cutlets, lightly coated with seasoned flour, if you prefer.

Making your own blackberry infused vodka is quick, easy, and a great way to savour the flavors of a pile of foraged wild blackberries for summer fun! This recipe comes together with just a few ingredients and the spices are completely optional. I used 100 grams of sugar for the infusion, if you prefer it sweeter, use up to 250 grams.

Soft, buttery, sweet yeasted orange bread laced with swirls of black cocoa bread and a deliciously indulgent sweetened condensed milk glaze. Enjoy it with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and seasonal fruit on the side. It just cannot get better than this! This loaf is best enjoyed the day it’s baked, but it will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

This is one of those classic appetizer recipes that works at any time of day. It's absolutely delicious and yet so simple to whip up. They're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and pair perfectly with a homemade sweet chilli sauce, which will keep for about a month in the fridge. You can also freeze the sauce in small portions in ice cube tray. I have added a mini paprika (or 1/3 of regular red paprika) to the sauce for a fruity note.

Haupia - Hawaiian Coconut Pudding
Friday, July 11, 2025 |
|
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
Wednesday, July 09, 2025 |
|
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.
