Fried Aubergine Japanese Style – ナス南蛮
Nanban Zuke 南蛮漬け basically defines a deep-fried meat or vegetables marinated in a vinegary source with soya sauce, so you can imagine the variety of dish you can create if you know the method. My favourite Nanban dish is with aubergines. This recipe actually requires only a small amount of oil so it’s healthier than original Aubergine Nanban. It is a very simple but extremely satisfying dish. It will be very

Tuna Pasta with Cherry Tomato and Mozzarella Cheese
Tuna pasta is my kids favourite and mine, as it’s quick & easy plus eating fish dish makes us feel better. I probably make pasta with tinned tuna the most if our old time favourite bolognese sauce is not available. This one is with olive oil, fresh cherry tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella cheese. But I always use some hidden vegetables because with pasta sauce, it’s very easy to disguise vegetables

Roasted Chesnuts 焼き栗
I made a confession to my children today. I told them my most favourite food in the world is CHESTNUTS (栗 kuri)! I can eat them as much as there is in front of me. They can’t hide from me and neither can I. My son said, what about 鰻Unagi ＝ smoke grilled eel, which he knows that I love? Well, it’s actually a very close call but I think

My friend makes such a wonderful Melon Bread and I never thought I could make it myself, but when she gave me the recipe last week, I thought this might be the chance. Kids encouraged me telling me how delicious they can be and but on the other hand thinking it’ll be messy and

Malta, the Delicious Island!
Oh MALTA! Our trip to Malta in late October 2017 was simply a wonderful one. Never expecting it to be so warm in late October, we managed to get some colours on our skins. The beautiful sky and ocean simply coloured our memories with dark blue colours of the ocean and the sky with fresh breeze without any effort. The food was also spectacular, with gorgeous seafood, seasoned with mixed food

Oatmeal Dates Pecan Cookies
So glad I found this recipe, oatmeal dates cookie, as my dried dates were near the expiry and needed to make something for kids quickly!! I gave it a little twist as reducing the amount of sugar and adjust other ingredients to begin with and added pecan. It turned out very good! Kids loved it too so here we go, if you happen to have dates and pecan, or any other nuts
