Singapore Chilli Prawns
by Iron Chef Shellie on February 7, 2012
Every time I watch a show that shows Singapore chilli crab, I salivate and dream I could be bothered cooking up crab at home. I found a cheaper, easier… most likely less authentic, but still super delicious and easy to make alternative.
I picked up a bag of frozen de-shelled prawns at Colonial Fruit Market the other day; I always keep ginger in the freezer in little pieces, and tinned tomatoes are a staple in the pantry. So really this is a dish I could whip up at a moment’s notice, and have an amazing meal.

Bircher Muesli with Stone Fruit
by Iron Chef Shellie on February 2, 2012
I’m trying to do as many recipes that I been gawking at for months, even years that involve the deliciousness of summer stone fruit. There are a few mango recipes that I’m afraid are going to have to wait until next season, as I’ve missed the boat.
For now I’m concentrating on peaches, nectarines and cherries. I <3 nectarines, and I <3 how well they go with bircher muesli.

Piri Piri Pork with Mustard Coleslaw
by Iron Chef Shellie on January 29, 2012
So it would seem that when they published this recipe on the BBC Good Food Website, and the BBC Good Food magazine, a few things didn’t match up. I cooked from a magazine rip out, and we found this dish had WAY too much cinnamon, yet when I went searching for the recipe online, the cinnamon quantity was halved.
So if you would like to make this dish, I suggest using the recipe below as it’s from the website, with reduced quantities of the ingredients we found too overpowering.
