You could roast the pork in the oven or, my preferred method, on the barbecue. The pork can be used not only as part of an Asian meal but sliced and served as an appetizer, cut up for fried rice or fried Chinese noodles. I have also julienned the pork and filled wonton cups with […]

Soba Noodle Salad
A delicious, refreshing noodle salad with a hit of chilies, it’s the perfect accompaniment for Asian style chicken or pork. When we served it recently, we had Chinese style barbecued pork tenderloin with it, it was great! We hope you enjoy the salad as much as we do! Makes 6 Servings ¾ lb. dried soba […]
Greek Lemon Chicken
We love this chicken! Whiffs of a Mediterranean summer, fragrant with the scents of lemon and fresh oregano. I have used chicken wings too and made small kebabs with chicken breast to use as an appetizer. It is particularly good on the barbecue but then what isn’t? Oh and did I mention easy? Increase recipe […]
Roasted Peppers With Basil and Balsamic Vinegar
I make these peppers all the time in the summer. Everybody loves them. Even when I think I have made too many, there are usually no leftovers! Darn! I like serving them with marinated artichokes or zucchini, cheeses, Proscuitto and salami, slices of Italian bread or baguettes for a nice light meal on a hot […]
Charred/Roasted Peppers
There is a very good reason why charred/roasted peppers are so popular; they are utterly delicious and can be used in so many ways! Roast peppers over gas flame if you have a gas stove (use long tongs to hold and turn peppers until the skins are blackened; place in a glass bowl; cover with […]
Yellow And Red Pepper Risotto
Not only is the colour of this risotto gorgeous, it is absolutely delicious and one of our favourites. With the addition of zucchini this is the perfect summer risotto, especially if your garden is overrun with them. My favourite zucchini variety is Romanesco. Your best bet to find them might be your farmer’s market in the […]
Grilled and Marinated Zucchini
So simple but so good! The zucchini will keep for a few days in the fridge. Fabulous as part of a antipasti platter or as an accompaniment to barbecued chicken or pork. 4 medium sized zucchini, the Italian striped variety known as Romanesco are excellent, they have little ridges that look so nice when sliced […]
Roasted Tomato Crostini With Goat Cheese
I’ve made a lot of these over the years both at work and at home. The delicious tang of goat cheese and the sweet roasted flavour of the tomatoes along with the fresh basil makes a mouthwatering combination! I particularly like that they are vegetarian! Makes 40 Crostini 2 baguettes or ficelle’s 8 oz. soft […]
Your Pantry Cupboard
Now, believe me, I’m not suggesting you should have a wall of Proscuitti in your pantry but there’s something definitely reassuring about a well stocked larder or pantry cupboard! For me, seeing the beauty of shelves lined with homemade jams, jellies and relishes is a sight to behold. The jewel like reds, purples and golds […]
Citrus Spiced Chicken
I often make this tasty, citrusy chicken with bone in chicken thighs, but bone-in chicken breast halves are just as good! A nice side dish would be my Saffron Rice With Chorizo (see below). Marinade: Grated rind & juice of 1 orange Grated rind & juice of 1 lime 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard ½ tsp […]
