Cashew Cream Beef Curry
Cashew Cream is used here to replace the traditional yogurt or heavy cream added to finish the curry sauce. Much less temperamental when adding to a hot sauce, this cream substitute adds a velvety mouthfeel and nutty flavour that pairs perfectly with the curry spices, spinach and beef. I’ve also used an instant pot to ensure the beef comes out extra tender, but the recipe can be followed with chicken pieces or tofu by following the same recipe steps for marinating, then pan frying the protein in butter and contining by adding the remaining curry ingredients. To finish the curry just add the thick cashew cream once everything else is…

Meal Prep Chicken & Rice
Chicken & Rice are the original meal prep heroes. It’s generally considered an incredibly bland, high protein option for body builders in prep. Here we have taken a slight spin on the classic, transforming it into an everyday staple. Perfect for bulk prepping lunches for work or a quick weeknight dinner. This dish certainly isn’t lacking in flavour with the warming flavours of ginger, turmeric and black pepper – complimenting the tender poached chicken. By cooking it all together, the rice absorbs all the brothy goodness so no flavour or nutrients are wasted. While not as creamy as a traditional risotto, the Chicken & Rice in this dish have a…

One Pot Honey Soy Noodles with Pork & Cashews
Honey Soy Noodles are a quick and easy weeknight staple, but imagine you are so pressed for time that the thought of even a simple stirfry seems too much. Before you reach for the phone to order take out, what if I told you that a fresh, hot bowl of honey soy noodles could be in front of you with only a few minutes of prep involved? That’s the genius of this recipe for me. I can walk in the door at 6pm, throw everything in the pot and then go about any other number of things that need attention until the pressure release alerts me to the fact that…

Better than Take-Away: Pepper Beef Stirfry
Pepper Beef Stirfry could be in reference to the Capsicum (Bell Peppers) or the generous dose of Black Pepper in this tasty sauce. A quick, fresh and utterly addictive stirfry that is genuinely better than most take-aways when considering cost, convenience and flavour. While it make take a little bit of time to prepare and measure out the ingredients needed for this dish, it does come together very quickly. Considering the time it takes us to drive to our local shop, place an order, wait and then drive home – the timing is generally comparable. The cost and flavour remains unmatched and this has quickly become a staple in our…

Vietnamese Style Caramelized Pork Bowls
Strong punchy Vietnamese flavours come through in this astonishingly easy high protein Caramelized Pork Mince Stirfry. The full version of this recipe is made by braising chunks of pork neck in a sweet, savoury liquid over several hours, but this weeknight version is ready and on the table in under an hour. Taking advantage of store prepared vegetables can be a worthwhile shortcut to increasing variety and reducing prep time, however there is really ultimate flexibility with the vegetable mix to customize to your personal taste and preference. I reccomend the bulk of the veg to come from some kind of cabbage, as it provides a nice amount of volume.…
