This is one of my family’s favourite winter dishes. There are many different ‘Fish Pie’ recipes but this is what I cook. My daughter complains that the dish tastes ‘blunt’ and I should add some herbs or lemon zest to it. I know some recipes use lemon juice, but I like my Fish Pie’s ‘blunt’ …
‘Cream Stew’ is a very popular dish in Japan. When the weather is getting cold, we often see TV ads of ready-made cream stew roux and we start to crave for the dish. My children loved it when they were young. And now? They still love it. I don’t use read-made roux. It’s a quite …
On the other day, at a local farmer’s market, I tried a Polish food called ‘Pierogi’. It was yummy but very pricey! The filling was a mixture of potato, bacon and cheese. I thought I could make it by myself.I looked for the recipe to make the dough, that requires flour, salt, water and oil…, …
‘Satoimo’ (Taro), has creamy & slimy texture. Because of allergy or something, my hands often feel itchy when I peel ‘Satoimo’. So I often use Frozen ones that are already peeled and ready to cook. However, I have noticed that it takes quite some time to cook frozen ones until tender and creamy. I recommend …
I like my Yoghurt Dressing that I created for the Kale Coleslaw. Then I used it for the potato salad instead of Japanese mayonnaise. I found the coleslaw dressing was a bit too sweet for the potatoes and it needed herbs. I thought Dill would go well with the yoghurt! That’s how I ended up …
At an ALDI store, I saw a frozen food package named ‘Spinach & Ricotta Potato Gratin’ and it looked so yummy. I don’t buy processed food these days but I really wanted to try it. So I created it by myself. I can declare that this is another Super-easy Recipe. You can bake all servings …
‘Okonomiyaki’ is a popular Japanese dish that is known by many but ‘Oyaki’ hasn’t been known. There are many variations these days and this ‘Potato Oyaki’ is quite popular. Some recipes cook the potatoes first, then mash. Some other recipes grate uncooked potatoes and use potato starch flour. I always shred the potatoes and use …
When I had some left over roasted potatoes on the other day, I cooked them in a sweet soy sauce. The cold roasted potatoes were reborn in the Japanese flavour. Then I invented this dish. Cut the potatoes into small cubes and pre-cook them in the microwave so that you can save the cooking time. …
If you are Italian, you might say ‘this is not Italian Potato Salad!’ Well… I just created a potato salad with the ingredients that I think are Italian such as Italian herb mix and semi-dried tomatoes. This is my favourite potato salad and I like it more than My Family’s Potato Salad! Makes 4 Servings …
I don’t fry potato wedges or chips. I always bake them in the oven but you need oil for the crunchy texture. This ‘Fetta Topping’ is a delicious addition to them because the sourness of the Fetta cuts through the oiliness of the wedges balances the flavour quite well. Adding spices to the Potato and …
Jumbo mushrooms called King Oyster Mushrooms, ‘Eryngii’ in Japan, are available from many grocery stores. I am so glad we can now enjoy a wide variety of mushrooms in Australia. My family love mushrooms and I cook them a lot. This dish is so easy and cheap to cook, yet so delicious! Makes 4 Servings …

This salad is great for sandwiches, especially with toasted bread. Makes Enough for 4 Ingredients Large Potatoes 4Carrot 1Cucumber …
