Shinjuku is known as the area of Tokyo that has everything, and masses of it! You could spend a month in Shinjuku and still feel like a newcomer to the area. With endless shopping, dining, drinking, entertainment and blocks of towering office skyscrapers, it’s a vast and busy area with mazes of streets that light up in rainbows of coloured signs at night! It’s like a mini Tokyo in itself!...
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Really crunchy Baked Chicken Tenders There is no feel-good story behind these crunchy Oven Baked Chicken Tenders. Quite simply, I am yet to meet anything deep fried that I didn’t love, but a) my waistline can’t afford the real thing every time I feel like it; and b) I reserve deep frying for “special occasions”. Because… well, you know....

Every year since I started RecipeTin Eats, I have shared a Christmas and Thanksgiving menu. And the 2016 Christmas Menu is finally here!! I’ve actually already shared all the recipes for the feast, so this post is bringing it all together and showing you how you can get ahead so there’s little to do on the actual day. So you can spend more time with family and friends / opening presents / sipping mulled wine and nibbling rather than bustling around in the kitchen, being a stressed out wreck....
Ayam Goreng (Malaysian Fried Chicken) Human beings love fried chicken. It explains why so many cultures have some version of this wickedly delicious food, and every country thinks their version is king. But why play favourites? I think there is room in this world (and my belly) for all great fried chickens to happily coexist. For one, my mother would put my head on a stick if I didn’t make mention of Karaage (Japanese fried chicken)....
This dish is a modern classic ideal for serving as canapés or an elegant starter, or just having around in the fridge so you can shave slices off to nibble. Lasts for days and days! Too many cured salmon recipes are way too salty or way too sweet! But once you know the right proportions, it’s ridiculously simple to make and far cheaper than buying from gourmet stores. Beetroot-cured Salmon Are you ready to impress the pants off your family and friends?...
Blueberry Muffins Come blueberry season every year, I make dozens and dozens of blueberry muffins. I know, I know, I’m so disappointingly predictable. You want me to make come up with something more gourmet and exciting, and here I am, just bringing you another boring muffin recipe. Or…. are they?? No, this is not just another dull Blueberry Muffin recipe. These are the blueberry muffins of your dreams! They’re magically soft and moist on the inside with a sweet golden dome....
Brazilian Fish Stew When I think of Brazilian food, I immediately have visions of grilled meat. Specifically, Churrasco. Serious quantities of grilled meat on giant skewers with the waiters walking from table to table, slicing the meat straight from the skewer onto my plate. Carnivore heaven. 🙂 Because of the strong association of Brazilian food with Churrasco (and also because I don’t have a giant grill with a rotisserie) I thought sharing this traditional Brazilian fish stew would be nice for something a bit different!...
Made healthier by pan frying rather than deep frying the noodles, this is an easy recipe that can be on the table in 20 minutes! Chinese Crispy Noodles At my local Chinese, they call this Crispy Chow Mein Noodles. It’s a Hong Kong / Cantonese style dish, and there are a lot of variations but the core of it is a bed of deep fried crunchy noodles topped with a saucy stir fry....
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! San Choy Bow – Chinese Lettuce Wraps The Chinese name for Lettuce Wraps is San Choy Bow which is how it’s written in menus at Chinese restaurants here in Sydney, though the spelling varies widely from place to place and I’m yet to find a definitive answer for what the proper spelling is. I may not know how to spell it, but I do know you’re going to love them!...

THESE CRISPY ROASTED PARMESAN POTATOES ARE EPIC! Just a fleeting glance at these Crispy Roasted Parmesan Potatoes is all you need to KNOW that these are utterly addictive and that you’ll be fighting to make sure you get your fair share. Just look at them! Soft on the inside….. Golden crispy parmesan crusted on the outside, loaded with ridiculous flavour not just from the parmesan, but from a touch of seasoning too…....
Bonus: you get to lick the bowl clean. I’ll take that over cake batter any day! Chocolate Truffles 5 years ago when I embarked on a chocolate truffle mission, I was rather surprised that it wasn’t as easy as I thought to find a “normal” chocolate truffle recipe. All I wanted was a basic truffle recipe that I could make without having to use $40/kg ($20/lb) Lindt 85% cacao dark chocolate, without liquor in it, without a salted caramel centre, without using a candy thermometer, without a double coating of chocolate....
Use a combination of smoked fish and unsmoked fish for optimum flavour and texture, plus it’s more economical. Also see recipe notes for using canned tuna or salmon to make this! Fish Pie Let’s talk Fish Pie. Fish Pie for Easter! (Or any other time of the year 🙂 ) This recipe has a few more steps in it than my usual quick ‘n easy dinner recipes. But no more steps than usual pies – Cottage Pie, Beef and Mushroom Pie, Shepherds Pie....
The chicken is so juicy, you can eat it plain with no sauce, I swear. But because I love sauces so much, I’m serving this perfect poached chicken breast with a classic Ginger Shallot (Scallion) Sauce. So good, you will want to put it on everything! Every since I discovered this genius way to poach chicken breast well over a decade ago, I have never used any other method. In fact, I barely consider this cooking....

Serve with everything. KFC Potato and Gravy This recipe is here by reader demand! And this is the photo that started it all – Fried Chicken being dunked in a bowl of what I call my copycat KFC Potato and Gravy. Readers spied it in the recipe video and saw photos in the post. I casually offered it up – “let me know if you want the recipe!” – and the people have spoken....
