Air-fried Stuffed Potatoes with Savoury Minced Beef

Posted on June 6, 2025June 6, 2025 By Alexandra Wong No Comments on Air-fried Stuffed Potatoes with Savoury Minced Beef
Air-fried Stuffed Potatoes with Savoury Minced Beef

What can I do with potatoes that’s more exciting than French fries or mash? This recipe began with that simple question. There they were — a humble bag of baby potatoes leftover from last night’s dinner party, waiting to be transformed. I wanted something that would make my weeknight dinner feel special without requiring a…

The Ultimate Fudgy Brownies

When it comes to brownies, I’m strictly #teamfudgy. After eating my way through a mountain of (mostly) cakey ones, I decided to try making my own. Many experiments later, I’ve come up with a formula that works! Here’s everything you need to know to achieve that perfect, gooey texture. The Key to Fudgy Brownies Get…

Pistachio Pesto Pasta

Pistachio Pesto Pasta

No, this pistachio pesto pasta is not classic, but after trying this recipe, you might just prefer it to the original version with pine nuts! First, why pistachio for pesto? For this wild idea, I gotta thank my frugal inner housewife. I love a good pesto pasta, but the price of pine nuts has skyrocketed….

Onion Jam

Onion Jam

I’m no stranger to onion jam. A sweet-sticky condiment of slow-cooked onions, it’s typically served with burgers in Western restaurants. In Asia, it’s sometimes just called “caramelised onions”. Is it nice? Yes, but nothing to get excited about. Until I ate a version made by a friend in Singapore, using her personal recipe. Holy smokes….

Sausage Tomato Pasta

This ridiculously simple sausage tomato pasta is so tasty I couldn’t believe it until I made it myself. I’ve seen variations of this floating around the internet. Jamie Oliver has made a version of it, among other people. But it wasn’t until I saw Catalina Tre’s gorgeous photo of her spicy sausage pasta that I…

Smoked Salmon Pâté

Smoked Salmon Pâté

My first encounter with pâté was thanks to the late Dr Frank Dourado, a popular general practitioner in Ipoh. Many years ago, my father went to his clinic on Brewster Road for consultation. Both gardening geeks, the two men got along like a house on fire, though their backgrounds were very different. Their friendship extended…

Dutch Baby Pancakes

I keep making ’em, these things called Dutch baby pancakes. What exactly are they, you ask? And do they have anything to do with the Dutch or the Netherlands? I posed this question to my cousins who live in the Netherlands and they said no. To be more accurate, the Dutch have Dutch MINI pancakes…

Proof that this creamy chicken casserole is a winner? The first words out of my hubby’s mouth after his first bite were: “Make sure you write this recipe down!” Uh huh. That’s how good it was.

Dear roasted red pepper sauce, where have you been, all of my life? I’m scrambling for words to describe its awesomeness. To give you an idea, after taking one bite of this dish, hubby’s first comment was, “This one can serve to guests”. To give credit where it’s due, I actually got the idea from…

Yummy Veggie Pizza

As hubby reached for his third slice of my veggie pizza, he grunted, “Make sure you write down the recipe.” Woah, write it down? That was how I knew I had a winner on my hands. Hubby has never explicitly requested me to write down a recipe before. Who thought a VEGETARIAN PIZZA made using…

ANOTHER vegetable salad recipe?? Some of my old friends will think I’ve undergone a lobotomy or something. After all, I used to hate vegetables so much that when my mum wasn’t looking, I’d dump the greens on my plate into the drain! But this potato salad recipe is so good that I just HAD to…
