    Cold Tofu with Mabo Pork

    My ‘Mabo Dofu Japanese Style’ is quite different from the authentic Chinese ‘Mapo Tofu’, but it is what my mother used to cook. It is not very spicy and that was important for my family because we could hardly enjoy very spicy food. Today I cooked almost same Pork Mince mixture, but, instead of adding …

    ‘Korokke’ is the Japanese name for a deep-fried Potato Cake coated with ‘Panko’ Breadcrumbs, originally related to a French dish ‘Croquette’.

    Lamb Kofta Kebabs

    I often use Dry Mixed Herbs and Black Pepper to season ‘My Family’s Lamb Koftas’, but, of course, other Spices and Herbs can be used. Today I seasoned it in the middle eastern flavour (I believe it is) and tried to make it into Kebabs. I even purchased long and thick bamboo BBQ skewers for …

She kindly gave me her recipe and I have shared it …

    Scrumptious Pork Mince & Potato

    The other day, my son cooked ‘Mabo Dofu Japanese Style’. Next day I found a small amount of leftover Pork Mince. I wondered what I could cook with it.

    Chilli Con Carne Cottage Pie

    I usually serve Chilli Con Carne with Rice. But today I tried to make it into Cottage Pie. Mashed Potato could go well with any flavour and I though this would be delicious, and I was right. I usually don’t add Cheese to my Cottage Pie, but today I added some shredded Tasty Cheese and …

    Oven-baked ‘Golubtsi’ Burgers

    These oven-baked patties are almost identical to the patties of Asa’s ‘Golubtsi’, which is described by Asa, a person who gave me the recipe, as a ‘lazy’ form of Cabbage Rolls. I named these patties ‘Golubtsi’ Burgers and I added Instant Oats instead of Cooked Rice and Breadcrumbs because my husband is currently trying not …
