Peppered Steak with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Kimberly Peterson

Based on a recipe from http://www.taste.com.au Usually, I would know first thing in the morning what I would end up cooking for dinner. Today, I had no idea! So I had a quick browse online for recipes for ingredients I knew I already had in my freezer / pantry – and I found this! What an outstanding recipe – so simple yet so divine, especially the mushroom sauce! Delicious, delicious.. the only thing that stopped me from cleaning up my plate was the fact that my T-Bone steak was super HUGE and I just couldn’t finish it. It was such … Continue reading Peppered Steak with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Welcome to Kimba’s Photography

Kimberly Peterson

I’m no professional photographer at all! Quite on the contrary, I am a total NOOB. I just got my first DSLR 3 days ago (Canon EOS 550D), and whilst my other website Kimba’s Kitchen is going to be a great platform to show off new and improved food photos, I needed another outlet to display my other non-food photos. Please join me as I venture into the world of photography. I am hoping that as I go on this journey, I will learn more and more new tips and tricks, and share them with you. I am also hoping that … Continue reading Welcome to Kimba’s Photography

Happiness in Canon EOS 550D

Kimberly Peterson

Last weekend, I went about my Saturday as usual – sleeping in until 10.30am, went to the shops to pick up some missing ingredients for the Roasted Chicken Leg with Herb & Breadcrumb Stuffing I was planning to cook, and I started preparing my dish. I was planning on just cooking one chicken leg to make use of the natural day lighting in my kitchen (looks better on my photos) – and to save the rest for dinner. My husband, on the other hand – got up really early in the morning to take my car out to service. Wasn’t … Continue reading Happiness in Canon EOS 550D

Hawaiian Poached Chicken Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Taken from “Everyday Cooking” published by Hinkler Books Serves 6 Last night just happened to be one of those nights when I actually chose to challenge myself quite unnecessarily. I mean, why would someone go through all that stress of rushing home from work, going to the shops to pick up some missing ingredients, cook like CRAZY knowing there’s only less than an hour to do it, and then rush off to an intense 1-hour session of Zumba on a Thursday night. I didn’t think it was possible – but thankfully this recipe has proven itself to be very suitable … Continue reading Hawaiian Poached Chicken Recipe

Restaurant Review: Sweet Lemon Thai Cuisine @ York St, South Melbourne

Kimberly Peterson

Taking another break from my usual routine of “slaving away in the kitchen”, I thought I’d post a restaurant review. What a pleasant change. I love cooking, but I also love pampering myself and going out to eat, and be served by someone, and not having to do the dishes after. Usually, lunches are either leftovers from home or a quick takeaway from the cafe around the corner. Today I’ve decided to explore a new Thai restaurant that has just opened about a month ago… Sweet Lemon Thai Cuisine @ York St, South Melbourne   How did I know of … Continue reading Restaurant Review: Sweet Lemon Thai Cuisine @ York St, South Melbourne

These macarons were not cheap! $12 for a box of 6 macarons – any flavor you … Continue reading MasterChef Macaron Madness: Chocolate Raspberry Macarons Recipe

Kimba’s Pancake Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Original Recipe by Kimba’s Kitchen One fine night, as I was preparing to cook a simple omelette for dinner, I’ve decided to change my plans and try something new. I’ve decided to add some coconut milk into the egg mixture that I’ve originally started whisking to form an omelette mix… and then I’ve decided to add some flour into it and some salt and sugar and fish sauce and it started forming this really smooth batter. I thought brilliant – I’ve made a pretty decent tasting “pancake” mixture. So I thought about what I was going to do with this … Continue reading Kimba’s Pancake Recipe
