Weekend vibes are on! Curling up on my couch with a bowl of this seriously delicious Beef Stroganoff. Tender pieces of beef and brown mushrooms coated in a rich, earthy gravy flavoured with cream and spiced with freshly milled black pepper.

There are so many good ramen joints in and around Melbourne but one of my top favourites has been Mr Ramen San for many years. Do you have a favourite?

When you want something more than soup and bread for a winter dinner, this Mexican flavoured hot pot soup totally hits the mark. It's a customisable dish with protein of your choice, with or without rice and sides like coriander, lime, avocado crema, tortilla strips, pickled onions, jalapenos etc....

The South Indian version of a kurma/qorma especially the Chettinadu style uses a combination of coconut, cashewnuts and poppy seeds instead of cream to lend the rich, creamy texture to the curry base.

While other meats are often the protein of choice, do try this recipe with duck as the texture and natural fattiness of the meat lends itself beautifully to this curry.

One for all the crab lovers! This Fijian style crab curry is so reminiscent of the coconut milk based fish curries from Kerala. Usually made using mud crabs but I have used blue swimmers as it's more easily available here.

Make sure to break down the crab so that the flavour from the spices, aromatics and sweet coconut milk gets into every crevice. And must be enjoyed with hot rice.
