This recipe is amazing – who knew that baked cauliflower could taste so amazing? Not me. But it does. The teen thinks that this is just as good as the Korean sesame chicken I’ve made before (there’s a recipe for that too on this very blog), plus this is baked, not fried. Yes please more… Continue reading Sticky sesame cauliflower

Simit
How do you keep 3 small children entertained when traipsing around Istanbul catching up with friends (and when those 3 small children don’t speak Turkish)? Well, according to my parents c1980 you give them some simit and they’ll be happy. Available absolutely everywhere from street stalls and sellers that wander about touting their wares, these… Continue reading Simit
Burger buns + Big Mac sauce
I ❤️ a good burger. I really really do. Together these buns, wedges and sauce are just wonderful and actually so much tastier than a takeaway and they don’t take a whole lot of effort. The buns are not quite a brioche, but not just a plain old bread roll either, it’s an excellent enriched… Continue reading Burger buns + Big Mac sauce
Chicken noodle stir fry
This is my favourite thing to make with leftover roast chicken – it really is a winner winner chicken dinner and it’s perfect for a weekday evening when you need to rustle up something yummy fast. Chopsticks are entirely optional, but I’ve loved eating with them since my little sister and I (when we were… Continue reading Chicken noodle stir fry
Hoisin pork with sesame greens

Korean sesame chicken
My teenage BTS* fan absolutely loves this. I mean she reeeeallly loves it, almost as much as she loves BTS. It does make a rather wonderful lets-pretend-we’re-having-a takeout dinner and can mostly be made (sauce) and prepped (chicken + garnishes) in advance. It’s yummy. I don’t see why you couldn’t substitute a firm white fish… Continue reading Korean sesame chicken
Pide
If I could only ever eat one type of bread again, it would be Pide. I think its the nigella seeds that do it really, but this bread instantly makes me feel like I’m on holiday in Turkey. And lets face it, pretty much all the time I’d rather be on holiday in Turkey. It’s… Continue reading Pide
Sesame prawn toast
Oh. My. Word. These. Are. Amazing. I have no idea why they are called toast though, when clearly they’re fried bread. Actually I don’t care, they’re wonderful! Cobbled together from checking out a whole bunch of recipes online, I suspect I’m going to be making these often. Ingredients 250g raw peeled and cleaned prawns 1… Continue reading Sesame prawn toast
Korean beef with garlic, sesame + green beans
Made especially for, and loved by, my teenage daughter who is currently heavily into K-pop band BTS (along with some 100m other teens!) and so wants to try all things Korean. I pulled the recipe together by looking at a number of different existing recipes online, then tweaked it so that it would work for… Continue reading Korean beef with garlic, sesame + green beans
