    Scrumptious Cashew & Chicken

    Today I cooked this ‘Scrumptious Cashew & Chicken’ using a very similar sauce that I used for ‘Spicy Tofu & Cashew Rice Bowl’. I didn’t make this dish into a rice bowl, but it is certainly delicious with freshly cooked Rice. But it is also really good for drinking. Chilled beer would be perfect! Makes …

    Red Capsicum & Walnut Dip (Muhammara)

    This is the dip that my daughter and I made with Red Capsicums that had been dumped in bin. Food waste is becoming a serious social problem in Australia where I live. Still edible vegetables and fruit that stores can’t sell should be utilised, but they are actually wasted. Wonky vegetables and fruit are the …

    Dates & Walnuts Cookies

    Today I made these cookies to use up leftover Dates and Walnuts, which had been sitting in my pantry for a long time. I used my Basic Cookie Dough, but I reduced the amount of Flour as I wanted to add a lot of Walnuts and Dates. The cookies were really delicious and very sweet …

    Almond Tart

    This recipe is actually almost identical to my ‘Fruit Tart’. I simply increased the amount of Almond Cream to fill the tart case, and covered it with Almond Flakes. This is a very simple tart. If you use a smaller tart pan, I recommend my ‘Easiest Sweet Shortcrust Pastry’. Almond Cream can be made with …

    Curried Cashews

    The other day I looked for recipes to make the popular curry flavoured Cashews. Most of the recipes use the oven. I didn’t want to heat up the oven just to bake these Cashews. So, I cooked them in the same method as my ‘Spicy Almonds’. You only need a frying pan. It is the …

    Almond Meal Sponge Cake

    This is a super simple Sponge Cake made with Almond Meal. It is gluten-free as no Wheat Flour is used, and also dairy-free. No technique is necessary, but you need to beat Eggs very well until thick and pale to make the cake fluffy. The Almond topping is optional. DO NOT add it if you …

    ‘Peanuts-ae’ Carrot

    ‘Goma-ae’ is a very popular Japanese dish and it is made with a sweet sauce made with ground ‘Goma’ (Sesame Seeds). There are some variations. When ‘Kurumi’ (Walnuts) are used instead of Sesame Seeds, the dish is called ‘Kurumi-ae’. When Peanuts are used, the dish is called ‘Peanuts-ae’. These sauces are really yummy and they …

    Quick & Easy Toffee with Nuts

    The other day, when I was making Caramel to make ‘Coffee Creme Caramel’, I realised that I could make ‘Almond Toffee’ much easier. I usually cook Butter and Sugar together until the mixture turns brown, but I could cook just Sugar first, then add Butter and Almonds. I tried to make ‘Almond Toffee’ in that …

    Sweet Miso Walnuts

    This is a yummy ‘Otsumami’, that is something you eat with alcoholic drinks. I reckon chilled beer would be great. I like to eat it with freshly cooked rice, too. If you chop up Walnuts finely, this can be a sauce for grilled Tofu, Chicken, etc. I sometimes add Chilli. How would you enjoy it? …

    Pistachio Paste

    The other day, I wanted to make Pistachio Ice Cream. To make it, I needed Pistachio Paste. I tried to find it and I was shocked! Have you ever tried to buy Pistachio Paste? It is extremely expensive. So, I decided to make it by myself. I soaked the Kernels in water to soften, so …

    Chilli Sugar Coated Peanuts

    I often make Sugar Coated Nuts. It is very easy to make and it doesn’t take long at all. ‘Cinnamon Sugar Coated Almonds’ are the most popular, but you can use other Nuts and other Spices. Today I used Peanuts and added Ground Chilli. Chilli and Sugar are a good combination. It’s quite addictive. Ingredients …
