If you have been to dim sum restaurants then you must be familiar with this staple dish. Sticky glutinous rice is steamed with chicken, Shiitake mushrooms, sweet Chinese sausages and dried shrimp along with a selection of sauces to create this wonderfully aromatic and satisfying brunch item. This is the first time I am attempting this for myself at home, so I am borrowing the recipe from someone else.

Thinking of serving up some scrummy breakfast-in-bed for your significant other? Then this recipe has your name written all over it. These pancakes came about by total accident and with the help of some natural yoghurt, these came out so moist and fluffy. Brilliant combination paired with the zest of some Mandarins.

Yummy yummy yummy … chimichurri sauce on steak! This is my first attempt at mimicking a sauce I had sampled at one of the local Argentinian steakhouses here in Amsterdam. I have not been able to forget that experience, so I just had to remake it for myself at home. DELICIOUS!
