I've decided to be a little stricter with myself and the vegetable compartment of my fridge lately. I sometimes find the vegetable drawer left with bits and pieces that are threatening to expire on me. Half a capsicum here, and slice of butternut squash there, some cauliflower I have almost forgotten about. It's a mish-mash … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen – A Recipe for Decluttering the Vegetable Compartment
The Saturday Kitchen — Exotic Baiye Tofu & Coriander Salad
I love Asian salads. Most of them burst with bold, aromatic flavours yet they are always refreshing and light. This exotic Baiye Tofu & Coriander salad is one of my favourites, and go-to when I have guests over, or just as part of a midweek meal. It is very healthy and makes use of some … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen — Exotic Baiye Tofu & Coriander Salad
The Saturday Kitchen – Piquant Asian Tomato & Cucumber Salad
I am trying to eat healthier these days to keep the excess weight away. My metabolic rate is slowing down and now that I am writing my second children's book, I am spending more time seated. (Not good for the waist and the hips.) So I've taken to being mindful and eating only what I … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen – Piquant Asian Tomato & Cucumber Salad
The Saturday Kitchen – Salted Egg Long Beans with Pork
Ever since my father passed away six years ago, I head out with my mother for lunch a few times a week to keep her company. She lives alone with the helper, and thankfully a hop skip and jump from my brother's house and mine. Working from home and having a flexible schedule allows me to … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen – Salted Egg Long Beans with Pork
The Saturday Kitchen — Stir Fried Cabbage and Green Beans with Galangal
It's been quite a few weeks since I last wrote. I had been caught up with some exciting collaborations with our public libraries regarding my children's book (I'll write about that in another post), and made a trip to Kaiping in Guangzhou to see the UNESCO World Heritage diaolou. Incidentally that area is also where … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen — Stir Fried Cabbage and Green Beans with Galangal

The Saturday Kitchen – Tempeh in Sweet Soy Sauce
Greetings from The Saturday Kitchen again. Still finding inspiration from my recent trip to Bali, and realising I should eat more vegetables than meat, here's another quick dish which finds its origins in Indonesia. Tempeh is fermented soy beans, often sold in rectangular cakes wrapped neatly in banana leaves and paper. It is pretty substantial … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen – Tempeh in Sweet Soy Sauce
The Saturday Kitchen – Aromatic Tomato & Orange Rice with Rolled Oats
We try to eat healthily most of the time but with high cholesterol, I am trying to weave in more whole grain foods into my diet. I'm told oats is great for bringing down the cholesterol but I really don't like eating it in porridge, so I've been poking around to see how else to … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen – Aromatic Tomato & Orange Rice with Rolled Oats
The Saturday Kitchen – A Very Versatile Head
I am most often the sort of cook who just rummages around the fridge to see what there is, then bung things up together, with a bit of inspiration plucked from a miscellany of memories, past dishes and nuggets of ideas from cookbooks I have read. In other words, I often cook without much planning. … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen – A Very Versatile Head
