Chilli con Carne
A freakin’ delicious meat chili recipe from Bee! read more…
Massaman Lamb Shanks
Curried lamb shanks with pumpkin chunks that soak up all the flavour. A fucking winner!
Pizza Bread
I took a buttermilk scone recipe and threw in some olives, salami, cheese, parsley and basil and made myself a nice hunk of pizza bread. Yeast-free and pretty delicious!
Curried Red Lentil Soup
Apple Tea Cake
I’ve had a wicked craving for apple cakes lately, and after trying two recipes that absolutely failed (I call them Crapplecakes) I enlisted the help Bee who lives over at Honey Jumble.
Shepherd’s Pie
As a kid, I always thought this dish was called Shepherd’s Pie because it looked like a lamb – white and fluffy on the outside, full of meat on the inside.
Poor Man’s Spanish Chicken
Poor Man’s, because I bought jars of stuff instead of choosing nice fresh ingredients. I guess you could call it bastardised Spanish cuisine?
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who doesn’t love them? And they’re super simple, too. This recipe calls for some walnuts, but they’re perfectly good without them too. Eat up!
Steak & Kidney-Bean Pie
I loves me some pie. I loves me some meaty, flavourful, homely pie… but I don’t care much for kidney… so let’s replace it with kidney beans! This is a simple pie, not fancy, but tasty and awesome for a winter meal. Cooks in about 20-30 minutes, and preparation is pretty simple.
Cabbage Sabaya
Another Sabaya recipe – this time it’s cabbage! I forget how awesome cabbage is until I have it. This recipe is amazing and I’m going to be making it again, and again, and again. I was getting so hungry while kneading the dough, but once the sabaya is cooked the smell is unbearably amazing.
Tomato & Capsicum Soup
Healthy and delicious. What can I say… this soup is awesome, and cheap as chips! Goes great with some warm, crunchy sourdough rolls.
Lamb & Feta Pizzas
Lamb, eggplant, artichoke hearts, feta, pesto… can’t really go wrong, can you?
Chicken Sabaya
Sabaya is a bread, I guess somewhat similar to Roti. It is a common breakfast item in Yemen, often spread with honey. Sabaya can, however, contain many ingredients and is absolutely delicious! This recipe is for a chicken version, great on its own or accompanying a rice, curry or soup dish.

Bumbu Kacang
Bumbu Kacang (Peanut Sauce) is more commonly known as “Peanut Sauce”. It goes with everything, from rice to spring rolls, satay to vegetables. It is the definitive part of GadÅ-GadÅ (without it, it’s just vegetables!). I like to add Terasi to mine for that extra flavour hit but it’s still good without it.
Rendang Daging
Rendang Daging is a dry beef curry – and my absolute favourite curry of all time. All the work for Rendang is in the preparation, and it needs to be cooked for a few hours but the reward is melt-in-your-mouth meat and such wonderful, aromatic flavours that activate every taste bud in your mouth.
Sambal Terasi
Sambal is a kind of spicy pickle jam, served with most Indonesian meals. There are so many different types of sambal, but this one is Sambal Terasi (Shrimp Paste Sambal). This kind of sambal can be stored for a long time if kept in a small jar in the fridge.
Rempejek Katjang
These savory peanut crisps are a great accompaniment to any Indonesian meal, or just good on their own. Make sure to store them in an air tight container to keep them crisp and fresh!
Nasi Goreng
Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice) is traditionally an Indonesian breakfast dish, but here in Australia and other parts of the world, it seems to have become popular as a lunch or dinner dish. Either way, it’s the best way to use up left over rice. Nasi Goreng is best made with day-old rice, or at least rice that has been allowed to cool completely, otherwise you’ll end up with a sticky, stodgy mess.
