Crispy Fried Chinese Eggs

April 14

This crispy fried egg dish is inspired by Australian food writer and chef Kylie Kwong. They make a rewarding and simple supper when you think all that awaits you is an anxious, hungry scramble in empty kitchen cupboards as you’ll probably already have most of the ingredients. If you so happen to have some leftover rice you can serve with the eggs, you’re in business. Otherwise, indulge in them just as they are – spicy, crunchy and gloriously gooey.

Harissa Baked Eggs

January 12

Whether for brunch, lunch or dinner, these baked eggs are a speedy way to provide booming flavour and a dose of healthy comfort food. A basic tomato sauce is the hallmark of any good home cook and here it is put to good use to coddle eggs until their yolks are runny and unctuous. With an injection of dark heat from the harissa paste, for me this is all too often the answer to the question: ‘What’s for dinner?’

Hole in the bread Eggs

May 08

Don’t knock these until you try them. They’re a proper old family  favourite. Despite extremely ambitious kitchen creations, my dad’s  cooking isn’t exactly widely celebrated, but I’ll give him this — when I  was a kid he always knew how to pull out the stops to impress me in the  kitchen.  I remember making these with him early one Sunday  morning for my mom and thinking to myself that he was the coolest dad in  the world! The addition of sweet chilli sauce might not get the  approval from my old fella, but I think it goes quite nicely.
