Osso buco is a rustic Italian dish made by braising veal shanks over a long period of time. The meat turns luxuriously fork tender and the bone marrow gets all gooey in the center. I have been meaning to feature this dish on my blog for ages, and so finally, here it is. This is my contemporary version of a Milanese classic, served over a mound of white bean puree.

I seriously tried to post something other than an Asian dish today, but no such luck. So here is a Malay recipe of chicken cooked in coconut milk with bird’s eye chillies. Really delicious and aromatic from the use of lemongrass, tumeric and kaffir lime leaves.

Moving on from Asian cooking today, and I have settled on some Middle Eastern flavours instead. Keeping things nice and simple by preparing some delectable dips everyone knows and loves. Be prepared to have lots of bread and crackers on hand.

Seems like I am on a roll here with the Asian food favourites, eh? Here is another iconic Chinese restaurant staple that you can now make at home at your leisure. This dish is both spicy, slightly salty and sweet all at once, with some added crunch factor from the use of cashews. If you like chillies, then this dish is for you.

I don’t usually cook many pork dishes, but this one is a huge favourite of mine. Bak Kut Teh is a dish of pork ribs slow cooked in a herbal broth until tender. It can also be served as a saucy slow-braise in a thick black sauce spiced with shallots, garlic and dried chillies.

This is the recipe for the herb and cheese scones I used in my Warming Chicken & Ham Stew post. Super light and crumbly, they would go well with any stew or simply eaten on their own with a good slathering of butter. Remember, scones are best eaten fresh out of the oven so keep batches small, and cover scones that are not being eaten with a clean tea towel to keep them warm and fresh.

It’s all gone downhill so suddenly with regard to the weather, so today I got inspired and made a hearty stew to cheer me up from within. Yummy boneless chicken, cubes of ham, a medley of vegetables … and all served with a side of warm herby savoury scones. Comfort food at its best!

We all love a nice classic salad from time to time, especially now that warmer weather is on its way. Here I have compiled three of America’s most iconic salads: a chicken Caesar salad, a Waldorf salad and a Cobb salad. Beautiful salads, every one of them … I only hope I do them justice.

Focusing on a very special dish from the state of Maryland today, I hope I don’t muck it up. Sweet crab meat is pressed into a pattie and baked in the oven with some butter and then served up with some tangy homemade tartare sauce. Serve this with a side salad or as is, as part of your Easter luncheon. Both kids and adults will go wild for these little morsels.
