Teriyaki Tofu Steaks

Teriyaki Tofu Steaks

Hello and Happy Meatless Monday! How was your weekend? What did you cook and did you try any new recipes? I had a very lovely evening with some of our friends on Saturday night. I also got very excited about Meatless Monday and spent quite a fair bit of time on Pinterest searching for some meatless inspiration.

In the end though, I decided on something basic and staple as I noticed that I needed to use up some Tofu that I had bought. These are firm tofu which is very good for turning into Tofu steaks. I had also bought some Mirin recently so I figured that it would be best to make a Teriyaki Tofu Steaks.

Thai Style Pineapple Fried Rice

Pineapple Fried Rice

Hello and happy Friday!

I am so happy it is the weekend again. What are your plans?

We are having some friends over for dinner tomorrow. I was thinking of making my Mango Cheesecake for dessert, that seems to be my staple dessert this summer! I shall henceforth rename Summer 2013 as the summer of the Mango Cheesecake.

Speaking of fruits, I bought a pineapple during last weekends grocery shop. I ate half of it and still had another half. I decided to use the leftover half to cook pineapple fried rice. I am not sure if you have tried Thai Style Pineapple Fried Rice, but you should! You have the sweetness of the pineapple, the savouriness of the fish sauce and spiciness from chilli all combining to make a tasty rice dish. I wanted something vegetarian so did not use any meat or seafood. Feel free to include some prawns or chicken breast in yours if you prefer.

Chocolate & Hazelnut Praline Tarts

Hello and Happy Thursday!

I am very excited because I have an amazing Chocolate and Hazelnut Praline Tart recipe for you. Needless to say it was absolutely delicious! 

Just imagine, a crumbly shortcrust pastry topped with smooth chocolate ganache and finally topped off with a crunchy hazelnut praline. Yes, it is rich and indulgent but sometimes we just need some treats.
