Crispy summer rolls
The year kicked off with one storm after another and plenty of rain! I am not complaining as it gives me a great excuse to slow down a little bit, catch up on my favourite series and cook new foods. I still have left over food from the holidays in the fridge and I am … Continue reading
Pork braised in soy with roasted garlic honey

Beef Shortribs cooked in Crispy Chunchy Chilli Oil
The weather turned from Indian summer to autumn seemingly overnight. One week I was wearing a t-shirt at the market and the next a wind and waterproof jacket.
