I use the mixture of Canned Tuna and Japanese Mayonnaise for many dishes such as Sushi, Rice Bowl, Onigiri (Rice Balls), etc. If it is for a rice dish, I definitely add a small amount of Soy Sauce. If it is for a sandwich, there are three things I want to add, and they are …
It is hard to believe I used to hate Celery. I love it now, fresh OR cooked, in any flavours. I often pickle Celery with Soy Sauce and Rice Vinegar. Today I added Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) and Sesame Oil. I couldn’t wait for 30 minutes, so I enjoyed it straight away, but I …
I make Cottage Pie with many different ingredients but I always season it with Tomato. Today I cooked this creamy version. This is identical to my ‘Chicken Pot Pie’ but Pie Pastry is replaced with Mashed Potato. It’s a little different way to enjoy same ingredients. You can add other vegetables such as Broccoli and …
I first discovered ‘Lao Gan Ma’ brand Crispy Chilli Oil on the website of Cookpad. A young woman, whose name is Lisa, introduced me the yummy Chilli in Oil. Since the discovery, I have been using it for many dishes. It takes this simple salad of Celery and Tuna to next level. Makes 4 Servings …
DO NOT waste Celery Leaves. I have shared some recipes to use up Celery Leaves on this website, but this is my favourite. The flavour of the pancake is not too overwhelming and anyone can enjoy it. My savoury pancakes, including this one, have rubbery Mochi-like texture. To achieve it, you must not add extra …

Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 1 large Continental Cucumber *about 280g2 stalks Calery1/4 teaspoon SaltDill for topping *optional Yoghurt …
My husband’s mother kept telling us Silverbeet (Swiss Chard) would fix not only Cold but everything. Thus, Silverbeet is an essential ingredient for my ‘Get-Well-Soon’ Chicken Soup, but my family members prefer Spinach. Another essential ingredient is fresh Ginger. The most important thing to remember when you cook this soup for a sick person is …
This is one of my favourite soups. I always use Smoked Ham Hock for this soup, but you may wish to use a different type of block of Ham. To reduce the cooking time, I cut the Ham Hock into some chunks. If it is too difficult for you, make some deep cuts into the …
It’s January now. In Melbourne where I live, it is summer and supposed to be hot, but it’s been cold last few days. I wanted to cook something warm and comforting today. So, I decided to bake this Chicken Pot Pie. Shortcrust Pastry is not hard to make, but you may prefer using store-bought Pastry. …
On a cold winter day like today, a comforting soup with crusty bread would be perfect. This Chicken Soup is cooked with loads of Vegetables and slightly thickened with Split Lentils, that adds extra nutrients to the soup. I served this soup with ‘No-Knead Simple White Bread’. So good. Everyone was happy. Makes 4 Servings …
I want to encourage all people who hate Celery to try this salad. The mixture of Tuna and Japanese Mayonnaise with a little bit of Soy Sauce is absolutely delicious with many vegetables, and certainly it is with Celery. You can add Lettuce, Cucumber OR other salad vegetables to this salad to make the flavour …
It takes time to cook Ham Hock until soft and that’s the down side of this soup. However, Ham Hock makes an excellent stock. Cook Vegetables and Beans in the stock until soft. That’s basically how to cook Ham Hock Soup. You can cook Dried Split Peas in the stock to make the popular Pea …
