I was recently invited to make my TV Debut on the Expresso Show and cook up a storm! The segment I did was sponsored by Knorr and my recipe of choice was Roast Pork with Cranberry and Apples. [Read more…]
Lamb Rogan Josh Curry
I love cooking and always aim to put a great-tasting, nutritious meal on the table for dinner. Sometimes when I am feeling a bit adventurous, I can be known to whip up a gastronomic midweek-feast. There are also those occasions, after a busy day, that even I have a bit of a “cheat” day. My “cheat meals” are by no means boring or tasteless; they merely involve a few shortcuts. A tasty example is my Lamb Rogan Josh Curry, the perfect winter warmer recipe.

How to cook perfect rice
A question that I am often asked when hosting a dinner party is “how do you cook your rice so perfectly?” Hence this how to make perfect rice post. What I can tell you, is that it is not as simple as it looks and I remember during my early cooking days having at least one or two bin-able rice disasters! We eat rice fairly often and my product of choice is Basmati Rice.

How to cook perfect rice
Ingredients:
{Serves 4-6 people}
- 2 Cups Basmati Rice
- 1litre Cold Water
- 1 tsp Maldon salt
Method
Begin by heating the cold water, with a dash of salt, in a pot over high heat and bring it to the boil. Meanwhile, soak the basmati rice in cold water, fill the bowl so that the water just covers the rice. Soak the rice for 8 minutes. Drain your rice in a sieve or colander and rinse under cold water.
Place the drained rice into the boiling water and partially cover, immediately lower the temperature to medium heat or simmering temperature. The key here is to not allow your rice to boil rapidly. Cook the rice over this medium-low heat for 8 minutes or until just al dente.

Remove pot from the heat and drain the rice into a rice colander. Place 500ml water into your pot and rest the colander above the water, cover and place your pot back on the stove over high heat to allow the rice to steam. Steam the rice for a further 5-6 minutes until perfectly fluffy. Serve as an accompaniment to your favourite stew or a spicy curry.

My Top 4 Foods to Eat

- I am definitely more of a savoury person when it comes to food and a bit of a carnivore, so meat is always high on my list of staples. I love nothing better than a delicious fillet steak, with pepper or mushroom sauce and crispy French fries!

- My second favourite food to eat would have to be sushi, although if I am dining with my youngest poppet and we are sharing a platter, I have to eat quickly otherwise I lose out! (She loves her sushi!) My favourite sushi roll is a California roll with prawns and avo. (usually accompanied by a few glasses of Graham Beck bubbles!)

- Third on my list is Thai curry, well I pretty much love most Thai food but Red Chicken & Prawn Thai curry is a favourite; I often cook it at home and the hotter the better!

- OK technically the last item is not really “food” more “desert” but a girls gotta have something sweet in her life – I really “heart” Crème brûlée. Often I will try to get the hubby to share it with me (in an attempt not to look greedy) but I have learnt my lesson it’s better to get my own!
What is your favourite food or desert? Are you more a savoury or a sweet eater?
