Nasi Lemak

April 9, 2008 – 17:53

When I was living in Malaysia some years ago, this was one of my favourite take-away dishes. Nearby my workplace there were some food stalls that sold Nasi Lemak wrapped in banana leaves. Basically, it’s rice cooked in coconut milk and some condiments, eaten with sambal and some side dishes - yes, I think the [...]

Seitan Rendang

Christmas at the cottage was the perfect place to make it. We cooked this on the day before Christmas Eve, while heating up [...]

Curry Roasted Tofu and Vegetables

November 7, 2007 – 10:06

An easy and satisfying lunch, preparing this dish takes only 10 minutes, and roasting about 40 minutes. I mostly work at home, and this is a great way of preparing a meal and getting other things done while it’s cooking.

Distantly Thai Soup

October 10, 2007 – 15:27

We just had this easy soup for lunch today. I have made it for many years, and the only recent additions are lemon grass and raw cabbage. Lemon grass can be left out, but it does compliment the flavors of this soup.

Here’s what we put in the soup:
