Cooking is what I do, what I think about and largely what I dream about… If you do not count beer of course, which as far as I am concerned is a food group! Most of the recipes you find here will be dinner or lunch recipes, and they will mainly be complete or the recommended sides will be very simple!
Some of my recipes are simple, some of my recipes are complicated, likewise, some of my meals are light and ‘healthy’ and others are downright naughty. All of them, however, get my wifes seal of approval and are extremely tasty!
So grab a glass of something cold and find yourself something for dinner for you and yours!
Latest Recipes
Indonesian Braised Pork
I am always on the hunt for new stew recipes at this time of year. This braised pork stew from South East Asia is my latest discovery. This Babi Chin recipe is essentially pork cooked in a dark soy sauce based stock. It is superb, dark, sweet, salty and all sorts of comforting.
Beef Noodle Soup
I love a good bowl of soup and this easy beef noodle soup joins a couple of chicken noodle soup recipes here on Krumpli. In the main, the ingredients in this quick soup recipe are store cupboard essentials. Well, they are for me anyway, soy sauces and rice wine are as common a feature in my pantry as salt and pepper.
Salami and Leek Pasta
If there is an ingredient better than pasta at being a midweek meal life saver I have no idea what it is. 10-12 minutes to cook and will work with practically any ingredient you have in your fridge or cupboard. Here we have a salami and leek pasta!
Chicken Tagine With Dried Apricots and Almonds
This chicken tagine recipe makes me come over all Julie Andrews, it contains so many of my favourite things! We have a little bit of heat of course from the chili… Then we have North African influences and fruit and nuts in a savoury recipe.
Pan Fried Duck Breast With Broccoli Puree and Honey Roast Parsnips
Duck is no stranger to my site and it is a meat I wished we ate more of, it is gloriously rich and decadent. It has bags more flavour than chicken and is super simple to cook.
Indian Venison Meatballs
These Indian inspired spicy venison meatballs are not the first Indian meatballs here on Krumpli. They join my Chicken Kofta Meatballs and they are a fine addition even if I do say so myself!
Easy Thai Salmon Curry
I have no idea why there are no Fish Curry recipes on my site as yet and this easy salmon curry will probably open the floodgates. This recipe definitely falls into the curry in a hurry category!
Chinese Braised Ham Hock in Black Bean Sauce
This braised Chinese ham hock recipe is really special and uses one of the many underrated cuts of meat. If you are cooking on a budget these are the cuts of meat you really need to be buying!
Instant Pot Pulled Beef With Quick Csalamádé
Sandwich recipes are few and far between here on Krumpli but this pulled beef recipe is the perfect sandwich filling.
Harissa Roasted Carrot Soup With Crispy Chickpeas
This spiced carrot soup recipe is loaded with the wonderful flavours of North African cuisine. They are flavours I love, hot and spicy but with a wonderful fragrant back note.
Veal Scallopini
This simple veal scallopini recipe contains some of my favourite flavours to create a complete and pretty quick meal. Lemon, capers, butter, lemon and anchovies all crop up regularly here on Krumpli. Not least in my chicken piccata recipe which is an American take on the classic Italian Veal Scallopini Piccata.
Rabbit Stew with Pearl Barley
I'm kicking off my slow transition to autumnal food with a delicious and simple rabbit stew recipe. Yes, I'm being all populist again with my fancy old-fashioned ingredients and traditional cooking methods.
Instant Pot Chinese Spare Ribs
For many years Chinese Spare Ribs were my go-to choice from the Chinese takeaway. As I grew older I became more adventurous but they still hold a special place in my nostalgic food memories!
Roasted Fig Salad With Blue Cheese and Hazelnuts
Figs are such a great ingredient and my favourite way to eat them is in a roasted fig salad. If you have been visiting me for a while you will know that I have a thing about using fruit in savoury salads.
Chicken Korma
A chicken korma is an Indian curry recipe of Mughal origins dating back to the 16th century... But enough of that! Curries to me are predominantly about my obsession with British Indian variants of my favourite cuisine.
Carrot and Mung Bean Salad With Spiced Chicken Thighs
This wonderful mung bean salad is almost Indian in influence. Heady with spices from the Indian subcontinent brightened up with some light quick pickled carrots and red onions.
Chicken Katsu Curry
Curry arrived in Japan at the end of the 19th Century, via the Brits and the Raj and Chicken Katsu Curry is seen by many to be a national dish.
Asian Smoked Mackerel Noodle Salad
You all know me by now, if not why not? I am back plowing the populist furrow with this smoked mackerel noodle salad.
