This is a ‘Chicken Kyiv’ inspired dish that is cheaper and more nutritious. Chicken Breast Fillets are quite pricy. Let’s use Chicken Mince. It’s easy to add any finely chopped Vegetables to the mince. For the filling, I have tried with Garlic & Parsley Butter just like ‘Chicken Kyiv’, but the Butter filling tends to …
In Japan, there is a small tree called ‘Sansho’, which fruit is often called Japanese Pepper and used as a spice. Its leaves are beautifully aromatic and they are the best addition to the sweet miso sauce. But… ‘Sansho’ leaves are impossible to find where I live. I thought about the substitute for ‘Sansho’ leaves. …

When I was a financially challenged Uni student, I often cooked this cheese & potato snack using a mini toaster oven. However, a non-stick frying pan works better. If you don’t have a non-stick frying pan, you can place a sheet of baking paper in a frying pan, so that the melted cheese won’t stick …

I love my ‘1-Hour Focaccia’ recipe. When I am not in a hurry, I don’t add Baking Powder to the dough. On the other day, when I was about to make Cheesy Focaccia using the recipe, I decided to sandwich the cheese instead of topping it on the bread, so that I could cook it …
‘Chicken Parmigiana’ is commonly called ‘Chicken Parma’ or simply ‘Parma’ in Australia. Some Aussies call it ‘Parmy’ or ‘Parmie’. It is a staple pub food and typically served with a side of chips and salad, as I have seen last twenty-plus years. It’s a chicken breast dish but not low-calorie at all. I placed chips …
Dips are very popular in Melbourne. I see a huge variety of dips in supermarkets. One day I bought Spinach Dip, which was OK but not great. I bought a different brand’s one. It was not good at all. ‘The spinach and ricotta mixture that I make for cannelloni dish tastes much better than those …
