Today I failed to cook Boiled Eggs. They were supposed to be soft and gooey. I was cooking them in my Water & Energy Saving Method. When I thought ‘three more minutes to wait’, I started doing something else and totally forgot about it. Eggs were left in the hot saucepan for too long and …
You can use leftover Roasted Potatoes OR Chips to cook this Frittata. Today I boiled 2 Potatoes. I always add some Flour to the mixture, so that it cooks better in the rice cooker. If you are going to purchase a rice cooker, I recommend to invest a little more money and get one has …
‘Curry Flavoured Smoked Sausage & Potato Salad’ is one of my family’s favourite potato salads and I sometimes crave it. Today I wanted to cook it, but I didn’t have Sausages. As I had some Canned Fish, I decided to use Canned Mackerel instead of Sausages, and the result was great. It was delicious! The …
My family recently moved house. We couldn’t take everything to our new house, especially plants in the garden. My daughter was growing some Potatoes. She didn’t want to waste them. She was afraid Potatoes were not ready for harvest, but she dug up anyway, and found a lot of Baby Potatoes. I cooked them with …
Last night, my family enjoyed Fish & Chips. The fried fish and chips were light and crispy, and absolutely delicious. We ordered medium size chips, but the serve was so generous and we couldn’t finish them. Don’t throw away leftover chips! There are many ways to enjoy them on the next day. This is a …
To make batter for this type of savoury pancake, I use Plain Flour, Potato Starch and Egg, just like ‘Tempura’ batter. You can use Plain Flour only, OR you may prefer Self-Raising Flour for softer texture. Today I made a large pancake and cut into bite-size pieces. Of course you can make smaller pancakes. Enjoy …
I have been using a lot of Parsley for cooking lately. The other day I cooked Asian flavoured ‘Parsley Pancake’. Today I cooked Potato Pancakes and I added a lot of Parsley to the mixture. It was delicious. I added firmly packed 1/2 cupful Parsley, which looked too much, but surprisingly Parsley flavour was not …
This is a variation of savoury Potato pancakes called ‘Potato Oyaki’ in Japanese. I often make ‘Potato Oyaki’ with Smoked Salmon. Any other fish could be used I supposed, and I tried with Canned Mackerel today. I am so glad I did. The pancakes were yummy. Grilled fresh Mackerel would be wonderful, but it’s hard …
Thanks to Pokemon, ‘Potato Mochi’ has become better known outside Japan. My ‘Easy Potato Mochi’ is very versatile and you can add extra ingredients. Today I added Bacon and Cheese. The cake of Mashed Potato, Bacon and Cheese can’t go wrong, can it? Actually it can. You must season it carefully because Bacon is salty. …
If you are interested in cooking Chicken Gizzards (Giblets), but don’t know how to cook them, try this easy recipe. Many people suggest to remove the tough silver coloured parts from Gizzards before cooking them. I don’t want to do that with my aching hands. I pre-boil them, so that you can eat the silver …
I know Hash Browns are an unhealthy food, but they are yummy. Today I deep-fried the mixture into bite-size balls. So, these ‘Hash Brown Bites’ are absolutely unhealthy, and it is very hard to stop eating them. I can confidently say they are dangerous!!! Maybe you can try to make them for your party. I …

It is made with Potato, Butter and Wheat Flour. I heard the Farls are one large round soft bread cut into four quadrants. Today …
