Spicy
Creamy seafood chowder with a hint of turmeric
I have loved leather jacket fish since I was a little girl, such beautiful white flesh and it is not too fishy, really good for steaming.

Twice cooked pork with chili soy bean sauce (Hui Guo Rou 回锅肉)
This twice cooked pork is aromatic, juicy and can be seriously spicy. My friends told me, as they walked down to my house for dinner, they could smell the cooking from the top of the street. This dish is so tasty and satisfying with a bowl of rice, or a few freshly steamed ‘Man Tou’ (plain steamed buns).
I have posted the ‘Man Tou’ recipe here.

We have a small kaffir lime tree growing in a pot next to the swimming pool. It was growing so wildly I have to give it a good trim. What can I cook with such beautiful aromatic leafs?
For lunch we had a spicy Asian influenced carrot soup with carrot, potato, kaffir lime leafs, ginger, turmeric, coriander, chilies and spices. It was gorgeous served chilled on a hot summer day.
