  • Seafood laksa

    • treay on November 02, 2024

      I made this Seafood Laksa from scratch. The result was great, it had really good flavours, and wasn't too spicy, despite of the chillies that went in the paste. I tried a couple of different recipes to try to make it as traditional as I could, but there were some ingredients I couldn't get, and had to use my imagination to make something similar. For instance, I couldn't get fresh galangal, and used powdered one instead, and also had to make my own fish balls. I checked for recipes online, but most of them used 'surimi' which we don't like, so I decided to make the balls from the recipe I have for Thai fish cakes, which are really delicious, and it worked wonders.... I followed the instructions to cook the rice noodles, but they were a bit overcooked!! Ah well, ....

  • Pepper tuna pasta with chervil and capers

    • treay on November 02, 2024

      This pasta dish is full of Mediterranean flavours and it takes only 30 minutes to make. Love it!

  • Salmon Niçoise with little pasta ears

    • treay on November 02, 2024

      There are many versions of this popular and healthy salad. I find this one the best version I have tried so far. Instead of using potatoes it uses orecchiette pasta. The dressing is just delicious.

  • Individual Caesars with sardines

    • treay on November 03, 2024

      This is one of those salads that everyone seems to have their own way to prepare it. I usually make a big salad instead of individual ones, and the sides vary from fish to chicken to meat.... depending of what I have in the fridge. But what really makes this salad for me, it's the dressing. Just sooo delicious!

  • Salmon burgers with tzatziki

    • treay on November 03, 2024

      Just delicious! For these days when you feel like some comfort food. It beats the takeaway fish patties!

  • Thai fish cakes with cucumber dipping sauce

    • treay on November 03, 2024

      These fish cakes are super easy to make and they are beautiful. They are suitable for celiacs because they do not have any flour or breadcrumbs. They need resting in the fridge for about one hour, so you can prepare them ahead and then it takes nothing to cook them. Super delicious with the dipping sauce. I love them with a Crunchy Asian salad on the side to have a whole healthy dinner.

  • Thai beef salad with crunchy noodles

    • treay on November 03, 2024

      This is one of our favourite warm salads. It's a main at our house, and it's full of fantastic flavours. On top of everything, it's very easy to make and it's also healthy. If anything, though, I would probably put less soy sauce next time. It can be very salty. Love it! ??????
