Garlic Bread


Garlic bread is one of the most ordered accompaniments in Italian restaurants around the world. The fact is; its simple, delicious, great appetizer and goes almost with any type of non spiced based meal, by that I mean, it doesn't necessarily go with Asian food! This is my favorite way of making garlic bread, I hope you like it. Enjoy!

Onion compote


Personally I'm quite obsessed with the taste of a onion compote, especially if I'm having grilled meat or poultry. The sweet savory flavor is simply to die for, there are quite a few variations on the net but I like to stick to this version, its simple and sinful. Hope you like the recipe, enjoy!

Spicy and Tangy Tomato Chutney


This tomato chutney is an excellent thing to have in your refrigerator, it goes almost with everything. I've had it with eggs, fish, poultry and grilled meats. Have used it as a sandwich spread, in a Burger, in eggs Benedict, you name it. Its simple to make and lasts a long time in the fridge, make sure you try it.

Caramelized Figs with Bocconcini and Parma Ham



Figs and Parma ham are a match made in heaven, so I decided to tweak this recipe and make it my own. The addition of the soft cheese, the tartness of the wine and the acid of the balsamic adds a whole to dimension to the simple appetizer. Hope you like the recipe, enjoy!

Asparagus sauteed with garlic


Asparagus is considered as a delicasy in the vegetable world, very labor intensive to grow and not easily available, makes this an expensive buy at the market. It's loaded with flavor and packs a nutritional punch. Lightly sauteing in garlic is like a match made in heaven. Hope you like this recipe, enjoy!

Oven dried Tomatoes



These tomatoes are packed with flavors, dehydrated and shriveled up, they can be used in so many dishes. From pizzas, to pasta, in salads, sandwiches, as spreads and many more. They have a excellent shelf life, especially in the refrigerator and are so cheap and easy to make at home, enjoy!

Buttered Corn


This recipe is so simple, a great accompaniment to any type of dish (well almost...) and the kids love it too. Packed with flavors this is one side dish you should be generous with, especially when served hot, people wallop this down like peanuts. Hope you like this, enjoy!

This dish may not be too popular in Asia, it is a lovely side dish, especially with sausages, meats and poultry. Puree the peas and becomes a lovely garnish on a well plated gourmet meal. I've tried it, loved it and am sure you will too. Enjoy!

Garlic Cream Potato


Chefs and cooks have made so many dishes out of potato, its a staple in the colder countries, especially in Europe. Mash, deep fried skins and the most popular in the world, the French fry! However I'm willing to bet you won't find anything like this recipe anywhere, its one of the best dishes one could create out of potato. I'm sure you'll love it, enjoy!

Bake Portobello Mushrooms


A hundred years ago I don't think anyone would imagine that people would grow, cultivate and consume fungi. Yet today we love mushrooms and at times is considered a delicacy in many dishes and cuisines. This is a brilliantly simple dish yet packs loads of flavors, hope you like it.
