cooking up a storm for the post-peak future
This is a dish I made up one day when I was going through a serious gnocchi-experimentation phase… and it worked so well I felt I had to share it with fellow fusion-food fans! It’s simply massaman curry, served without rice on the side, and with gnocchi as the starchy element instead of the usual … Continue reading Massaman gnocchi
I never thought I’d do this, but… today I bring to you that health-nutjob hipster neo-classic, the turmeric goddamn latte! I shit you not! Yes, from my sickbed this week (suffering the mighty man-cold… it’s as bad as they say it is….) I’ve been googling how to get rid of sickness as quick as possible, … Continue reading Turmeric latte (the name almost *needs* a hashtag…)
Compote is the ultimate sweet comfort food that’s also a sickbed soother, and pretty much works as baby food as well! Perhaps that’s why it’s so comforting 🙂 If food is my medicine, then a bowl of banana and cinnamon compote is the perfect kickstart to a day of mooching on the couch when I … Continue reading Banana & cinnamon compote
I came up with these one day because I was just craving something fresh and light, but snacky not salady… A quick rummage through the cupboards revealed rice paper for making cold rolls, and the fridge yielded the fresh, crisp veg that sets off the crunchy, spicy, fragrant peanutty filling. If it’s a warm, sunny … Continue reading Peanutty Thai-inspired cold rolls
Do you ever have days when you just don’t know what you want to eat, but your stomach is gnawing at you, demanding some sustenance, and soon?! This dish was dreamt up on such a Sunday, when I was hot, sweaty, hungry, confused, and needed food fast! Hot days remind me of Thailand (even though … Continue reading Thai-inspired potatoes n beans with coconut-coriander-lime dressing
Now these truffles aren’t like any chocolate confection you’d get from a fancy-pants chocolatier… but I call them truffles because they have a truffle-like texture, and they’re sweet and chocolatey. Need any more convincing? They’re practically a health-kick, thanks to the fact that the sweetness comes from dried fruit, not sugar. And that also means … Continue reading Raw chocolate truffles
Today is by birthday, so I’m kicking off with my favourite brunch treat of the moment: my breakfast skillet, a dish that riffs off the ingredients used in a traditional fried breakfast, smashing the hipster trend for deconstructing dishes! 😛 No, there’s no bacon, no egg, and no sausage… but we’ve got all the best … Continue reading Breakfast skillet – a healthier (and tastier) riff off a traditional fry-up 😉
