Lamb & Potato Korma Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Recipe by “Indian” Cook Book written by Harmeet Hooren-Sagoo This winter is quite possibly one of the coldest Australian winter I’ve ever experienced… not that I’ve experienced that many winters, this will only be my 5th year here… but the weather is cold enough to make me long for some serious comfort food. The “Korma” is one of the more milder Indian curries – but not as mild as Butter Chicken – but definitely milder than the likes of Vindaloo and Rogan Josh, etc.  I have to admit I’ve added some “special” ingredients into this recipe to make it more … Continue reading Lamb & Potato Korma Recipe

Roast Duck Breast by Luv-A-Duck

Kimberly Peterson

This is a part review, part recipe post! You see, a couple of days ago I went to the Good Food & Wine Show in Melbourne (scroll back a couple of entries and you’ll see my full blog post on My Day at the Good Food and Wine Show!) and I bought a $50 sampler bag from Luv-A-Duck. Inside the cooler bag, there was a Peking Duck Pancake Kit, and packaged Duck Shanks, Duck Legs and Duck Breasts. So last night, I decided to cook up a quick and simple dinner using the Duck Breast. I also thought I should … Continue reading Roast Duck Breast by Luv-A-Duck

Yum Cha at Gold Leaf Chinese Restaurant, Docklands Melbourne

Kimberly Peterson

Located only 10 minutes away from my workplace, it is hard to resist a Yum Cha calling on a Friday afternoon. So here’s just a little bit of food porn for all you foodies out there. Unfortunately I cannot successfully name all these Yum Cha dishes… so if you can offer me some help, that would be great! Our first dish was a deep fried fritter thing which I believe has some prawns and possibly crabmeat. Next, another prawn-based dim sum, steamed with very delicious ginger broth. This was like an “open prawn dimsum” with fish eggs. Amazing texture and … Continue reading Yum Cha at Gold Leaf Chinese Restaurant, Docklands Melbourne

My Day at the Good Food and Wine Show Melbourne Saturday, 05-06-2010

Kimberly Peterson

I had a pretty good day today. First of all, I’ve won two tickets to go to the Good Food and Wine Show at Melbourne Exhibition Centre, and those tickets include entry to the exhibition as well as to the Celebrity Theatre session for Tobie Puttock and Matt Skinner at 3.30pm. I was quite excited! I hardly ever WIN stuff, so to win tickets to something I love.. makes it a bonus! It was very packed and there were lots of people… and you can pretty much sample most foods from most stall, and sample most wine / liqueur which … Continue reading My Day at the Good Food and Wine Show Melbourne Saturday, 05-06-2010

Asian Risotto Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

I believe I just made something up – but my palate loves it! And my hubby goes for seconds on this one, so it’s worthwhile sharing. It was another one of those nights when I only had 30 minutes to cook dinner, and challenging myself to use whatever ingredients available in the pantry / fridge. The result, is a wholesome risotto-ey dish which is not quite the traditional risotto most Australians are familiar with… so I’ve named it “Asian Risotto” lol, it’s like my own Invention Test in Kimba’s Kitchen! I really hope you guys like it, it’s very simple … Continue reading Asian Risotto Recipe

30-Min Meal: BBQ Pork Spareribs & Stirfry Indo Mee Goreng with Veggies

Kimberly Peterson

Whenever you watch cooking shows like MasterChef, whenever the contestants are given only ONE HOUR to prepare and cook and plate up a dish, they always freak. It may seem like a lot of time, but do not underestimate the preparation and organisation required to cook a meal within an hour… it’s always going to be tight! Unless you’re cooking 2-minute noodles of course… but even 2-minute noodles take more than 2 minutes sometimes! So tonight, I got home just before 7pm and I really wanted to watch MasterChef, which leaves me with just 30 MINUTES to whip something decent … Continue reading 30-Min Meal: BBQ Pork Spareribs & Stirfry Indo Mee Goreng with Veggies
