When I think about winter warmers, I always start with the carbs. Do I want potatoes, rice, noodles, bread or pastry? Soups get thickened with flour and potatoes, and the starch reigns supreme!
But that sometimes means that my coeliac friends miss out, and we can’t have that! So I’ve worked with Chang’s to create a winter warmer that I can share with them!
Even the most eager of home cooks come to a point in their week when they get a bit lazy, and because I’m a night eater (ooh that should be my Super Villain name!) my laziness always comes in the form of not entirely having fresh ingredients at the end of the week, and not wanting to rush to the shops to buy last minute ingredients in the final 5 minutes before they close.
Enter this Easy Tom Yum Fried Rice, made entirely out of ingredients that I keep stocked at home! You’ll notice that my frozen prawns and veg is cooked straight from the freezer – no thawing time! And it works, too, because the prawns are small and the veg is bite-sized. If you have larger pieces of meat that are frozen, they may require a little bit of thawing, unless they were cut before freezing, in which case, substitute away!
But the whole point of this recipe is that it’s more of a guideline: feel free to mix and match ingredients that you might keep on hand, and create effortless deliciousness!

Alice in Wonderland has captured the imagination of generations of children and adults, and since Tim Burton’s remake in 2010, just about every high tea establishment has had a Mad Hatter’s theme at one point or another.
But some are better than others, and when it’s part of Good Food Month, I’m willing to bet that the Ultimate High Tea at The Waiting Room is going to be something special.

While I love Good Food Month for all of the comfort that it brings – the Night Noodle Markets in particular (in both Sydney and Melbourne!) is familiar territory that I love enjoying with family and friends – I also adore it for all the new experiences and flavours that I get to explore and learn about.
And tonight, it’s all about Alpacas!
