Korean roast pork neck and a Scanpan Giveaway

by jeroxie December 5, 2011

It’s Christmas and the time for giving. The lovely people from Kitchenware Direct asked what will I like to review next. There are so many gadgets that I absolutely love to have. For example, the Bodum Bistro Table Green or the health conscious, Cuisinart 3 tier steamer. As some of you may know, we moved from a larger house to a relatively smaller unit in Sydney. That meant our kitchen has shrunk and the oven is no longer a 5 burner but a 4. Our roasting trays no longer fit and have to be stored away. So I chose the Scanpan classic medium size roaster with lid. This is just one of the reason. Another reason can be found within the blog post.

Blood orange chocolate ganache tart

by jeroxie October 6, 2011

I was running out of recipes to post and had to dig deep into my drafts. I made these tarts last September. Yeap, you heard me right. More than a year ago and it is still sitting in draft. That is how out of control my drafts are. You will probably seem more of these old draft posts in the next few weeks or months until Mister and I are finally settled in Sydney and the kitchen is open for business again.

Chipotle roasted chicken wings

by jeroxie September 19, 2011

What a lovely weekend and I wish I was in a better state to enjoy it. I felt really lethargic and totally unmotivated. I wanted to cook something really fuss free but tasty. My initial plan leading to the weekend was to slow roast a hogget and make a pie or something. Alas those ambitious ideas were thrown out of the window and replaced by this humble and simple oven roasted chicken wings.

Pulled chicken burger

by jeroxie September 11, 2011

What do you mean pulled chicken? What is pulled meat? Basically pulled meat means slow cooking protein that can shredded by hand after. Well, that is what I think anyway. Do you agree? What do you think pulled chicken or meat is?

Rumi, Brunswick East

by jeroxie September 1, 2011

Mister and I hardly stay apart from each other for long periods of time. He means the world to me and I know that he feels the same about me. It has been hard having him gone for long periods of time now. And especially when I do need him the most at the moment, it is even harder. It is good that @mamajeroxie is here with me at the moment. However, it means that I lack a lot of time alone to make decisions and think about my next steps.

International Incident Mexican Breakfast Party – Mexican eggs with smoked eel

by jeroxie August 28, 2011

I love breakfasts. Breakfasts means weekend. Please do not judge but I hardly have breakfasts during work days. It is usually a large latte and on occasion, a bowl of boring cereal. So breakfasts on weekends are so important to me. It has to be good. Actually, it has to be awesome to make up [...]

Duchess of Spotswood, Spotswood

by jeroxie August 16, 2011

The Duchess of Spotswood. With a name like this, it is clear that this cafe is steered towards something a little more English. And with a name like this, you will think it will sit in a rather posh area and not a quiet and plain looking street like Hudsons. The name does not matter to me. It is the food that counts. This place has been receiving raving reviews from many food bloggers. The curiosity finally overcome my laziness and we decided that it might just be worth the effort.

This is my second visit to Chin Chin. It is the Chin Chin on 125 Flinders Lane that everyone is talking about. It is the new IN place to be seen eating and sipping cocktails in Melbourne CBD. The brains behind Chin Chin is Chris Lucas and the man in the kitchen is Andrew Gimber which will be joined by Ben Cooper from St. Ali very soon.

International Incident Terrine Party – Sushi terrine

by jeroxie June 28, 2011

I have eaten my fair share of terrines but have only made one terrine in my entire cooking life. To be honest, I am not particularly a big pan of terrine. They are pretty look at and some are delicious but I sometimes think that it lacks punchy flavours or just way too rich for my liking. I guess I never had the perfect terrine.

Cooking the Books – Momofuku Brick Chicken

by jeroxie June 26, 2011

In March 2010, a group of us came together and cooked a #momofukurage dinner. Rage because we felt “cheated” that all tickets to the David Chang’s dinner during the Melbourne Food and Wine festival (2010) was sold out within minutes of release. Are you serious? Are you freaking serious? The twitterverse was in rage and so we decided to have a Momofuku pot luck dinner party where we each picked a dish from the cookbook and cook it.

International Incident Cake Pops party – Dulce de Leche cake pop

by jeroxie April 17, 2011

Cake pops seem to be increasing in popularity. But many people seem to be afraid to try making them at home. I did procrastinate for a little while which is why I decided to make this as a theme for April. I needed some sort of motivation. I did a fair bit of research and to be honest, I was trying to figure out the easiest but yummiest way to make these cake pops. Also I picked tips from the recent article on Herald Sunday Food that showcased cake pops as the new and upcoming pop stars.

Meatless Mondays – Double broccoli with Israeli couscous

by jeroxie February 21, 2011

When I first saw this broccoli recipe on 101 Cookbooks, I knew that I have to make this. Simple and clever dishes like this makes me smile. I took the idea and changed some of the ingredients. I used what I got in the pantry and refrigerator. It is so easy to get out there and buy ingredients that we only ever use once or twice and then forgotten until an invasion by ants or get thrown out during the once a year pantry clearing day. I am ashame and disgusted with myself. This bad habit will have to go.

LuxBite, South Yarra

by jeroxie February 9, 2011

What is it about macarons that send so many of us crazy? I have to admit that I am not super macaron crazy. I like this stuff but unless it is macarons from Zumbo or Duncan’s, it is hard to send me goo goo gaa gaa. I have no obsession with macarons and I am not one to hunt them down. So it took me awhile to get to LuxBite. And one of the reasons that made me get off my ass and trek across the river is its infamous kaya flavoured macaron!

Royal Mail Hotel – Best meal in 2010

by jeroxie February 7, 2011

Finally, I sat down and finish this post. It did take me a couple of months as I left it aside but as I looked at the photos, bits of memories came flooding back. I wanted to run back to Royal Mail Hotel and be courted again.

Roast salmon with salsa verde

by jeroxie January 11, 2011

I watch a lot of food TV channels on Foxtel. And I do adore Rick Stein. I love his simple and no fuss cooking. He was the first few TV chefs that I still love so much. I think I have watched his many food series at least twice over or maybe three times. I have a couple of his cookbooks which I don’t cook much from. Not sure why but I prefer watching him on TV than reading his cookbooks. To be honest, his cookbooks are so boring in comparison to his TV shows. It seems to be lacking in personality.
