Have you ever used Rice Paper for soup? A few months ago, my daughter gave me 2 large bags of Rice Paper and I have been struggling to use them. The other day, I happened to add some Rice Paper to a soup, and it was surprisingly good. I believe any soup is good, but …
I occasionally crave colds Soba Noodles that I would eat with ‘Mentsuyu’, a Japanese noodle dipping sauce. My favourite go-to dish to enjoy with the cold Soba Noodles is Prawn, Onion & Carrot ‘Kakiage’ Tempura, but I reluctant to cook it just for my meal. This dish is quick and easy. Using already thinly sliced …
‘Bread & Butter Pudding’ is one of my husband’s favourite winter desserts. It is not hard to make, but some fiddly work is required such as buttering the bread slices. I even spread Apricot Jam, then cut the slices, arrange them in a baking dish, etc. This recipe is much easier. Bread can be Hot …

This ‘Rice Cooker Frittata’ has been inspired by Greek ‘Lamb & Spinach Spanakopita’ which I LOVE.

As always, the top side of the Frittata can’t be browned when cooked in the rice cooker, but it …

The famous ‘Quiche Lorraine’ (Egg & Bacon Quiche) can be made easily if you use store-bought Frozen Flan/Pie Base. I use 22cm Case that is the common size in Australia. And this recipe is for that size case. As a lot of salty Bacon and Cheese are used for the filling, DO NOT add too …
