All Under Heaven: Recipes from the 35 Cusines of China by Carolyn Phillips was a birthday or Christmas gift to me by Scott some time ago. It’s another book that I cooked from in 2019 and lost all the photos (and memories) of, so I cooked from it again. I want to state for the …

Cookbook 154: My Rendang Isn’t Crispy and Other Favourite Malaysian Dishes
You may not be aware of Zaleha Kadir Olpin’s UK Masterchef episode where the “judges” told her that her chicken rendang wasn’t sufficiently crispy enough, and was a mistake for her dish.

Cookbook 138: The Vietnamese Market Cookbook
I picked up The Vietnamese Market Cookbook by Van Tran and Anh Vu because I didn’t have a Vietnamese cookbook and I really love Vietnamese food. This cookbook didn’t disappoint. I cooked from it almost a year ago and I still remember how good the food was. A good mix of recipes, written in a …

Cookbook 40: Homecooked: Favourite receipes from Australian Kitchens
So I found this beautiful cookbook, Homecooked: Favourite recipes from Australian Kitchens. I can’t remember now if I bought it new or second hand, I’m thinking second hand as it was published in 2006 and I don’t recall getting it until the last couple of years. Anyway, the cookbook is a collection of recipes submitted …

Cookbook 39: Thai Cooking
So I cooked from the Family Circle, step-by-step Thai Cooking recipe book. It was good, though not particularly vegetarian friendly (lots of fish sauce). The green curry with chicken was a favourite, though watery – again the fault of our coconut cream and not the recipe. The book overall has great recipes, good photos of …
