If you are interested in reading about the esteem in which I hold pizza as a go to food, read my simple version comments. I won’t go over it again, but suffice to say when it comes to pizza I am definitely a fan. Kids usually are too, however the ones in our family could [...]
Recipe: Simple Pizza

I have to come clean, I adore pizza in all its forms and I do mean ALL. I love frozen ones, plastic ones (you know the pizza chains I am referring to) the gourmet ones with all sorts of fun toppings. I love them with and without sauce, I love them with everything from thinly [...]

Filed under Appetizers
XO sauce is a sauce that you will have to go to an Asian grocer for, but it is clearly marked, so you should have no problem. If you cannot find it you can omit it all together or substitute another type of chili sauce, but start with a little and check for temperature. I [...]
Recipe: Pork and Noodles with XO sauce

Filed under Appetizers
XO sauce is a one of those sauces that if you consider the individual ingredients, you may find it a little odd. That said, once you cook with it you will realize that it gives a flavour that really cannot be duplicated. The XO sauce that I used for this dish was not particularly spicy, [...]

If you’re looking for a dessert for a dinner that is visually stunning, this is the one for you.

These little babies are another very pretty dessert that have the advantage of tasting lovely. The secret to making them a simple dessert rather than a sensational one is that you buy the phyllo tart shells. I have made them, and you have my blessing if that is your preference, but they are very fiddly. [...]

You can’t beat a meatball recipe with 3 grams of fat. This is also quite a versatile recipe and can just as easily be spaghetti bolognaise. All you need to do is cook the onion until transparent, add the meats and brown. Obviously you would not include the egg. You can also use different pastas, [...]

With 2 grams of fat, this is one of the healthiest Linguini and Meatballs around. The picture of the simple and the sensational version are the same because the finished product looks the same. The difference in the simple version is that you buy the tomato sauce which saves a lot of time. Ingredients 7 [...]

There are a couple of things that you need to bear in mind when you make this salad. The turkey must be at room temperature and well that’s actually the only thing you need to remember. Add whatever salad vegetables you like, I have kept it simple, but play around and find what works for [...]

Peking duck is a standby when I am entertaining. It sounds like a crazy thing to do, until I tell you that I buy the duck from my local Chinese BBQ restaurant and he chops it up for me. I buy the pancakes from the Chinese market and I buy the hoi sin. Basically all [...]
