A collection of culinary experiments at home. The Ultimate Lemon Chicken. March 2, 2015. What to do when life gives you lemons- especially huge juicy, zesty ones? My ultimate lemony, garlicky and herb-y chicken. Recipe, of course! Fresh citrus notes permeates the whole dish as fresh lemon zest. Is used both in the luscious sauce and marinade. Moist chicken thigh cutlets are marinaded in a mixture of French wholegrain mustard. Then pan-fried until the skin is crispy in garlic-infused oil. 1/4 tsp sea salt.

A collection of culinary experiments at home. The Apple Cake to Convert Apple- Haters. March 22, 2015. March 22, 2015. I have a question for all my fellow (wannabe) chefs/ home cooks/ food experimenters out there, have you ever asked yourself what is it about cooking that brings you so much joy? For me, I have never had one clear answer, until now, until I baked this Apple Cake for my friends a few days ago…. What is so special about this Apple Cake, you ask? What is it about cooking that brings me.

A collection of culinary experiments at home. The Emergency Panna Cotta Birthday Cake. January 17, 2015. January 19, 2015. The whole cake toppled over and fell splat on to the floor when I tried to unmould it from the tin…. The supermarket was already closed so getting more ingredients to make another was out of the question. I looked frantically in my pantry trying to come up with an idea for a second cake… and finally came up with this Strawberry, Pandan and Green Tea Panna Cotta Cake. January 10, 2015.

Salt-Crust Baked Whole Fish with Lemon and Thyme | peckish bites

A collection of culinary experiments at home. Salt-Crust Baked Whole Fish with Lemon and Thyme. March 25, 2015. Here’s an idea for your next fishing trip where you have (hopefully) caught a big, handsome fish- bake it in a salt-crust. The beauty of making a salt crust is that it will not only season the fish, but will seal in the moisture, keeping the flesh succulent and tender. The belly is stuffed with fresh lemon. 1 fresh whole fish, gutted. 1 lemon, sliced. 1 bunch fresh thyme. 1 dried bay leaf.

Bitter gourd, bitter melon, goya, karela, balsam-pear… this green, knobbly vegetable is actually known under many different names depending on where you are from! As per its name-sake the flavour of the flesh is very bitter and is an acquired taste at first- but give it a go and you may never look back! Fish stock, sweet mirin. And fruity apple vinegar. Cubes and enlivened with fresh mint. Rinse the...
