Recipes From Down Under

The competition is supposed to be finishing tonight, however considering I've had the disappointment of only having ONE entry into the competition, I've decided to extend it for a further 5 days.  The competition will now close on Saturday 5th December at 11:59pm  Sydney Australia time . Please send you entries in, just for fun!

I've had some responses from readers lamenting the fact they couldn't enter the competition because even though their cooking tastes great, it just never looks artistic...  Please don't stress!  We will be judging not only the photo of your meal, but also the taste of it! A hint: don't make a meal that's all brown or all green (or all any one single colour)... Colours or simple garnishes make a meal look extra tempting! This is not supposed to be stressful - it's supposed to be fun!!  :)

I decided it would be fun (and hopefully create some interest in this blog) to hold a competition (my first giveaway!).  This competition requires a little work from you if you wish to enter - but not too much! *This competition is open to readers worldwide* Firstly, the final prize will be decided by the winner because he/she will have a few options to choose from: #1 An Aussie Recipe book: #2 A one-year subscription to Taste of Home magazine #3 A one-year subscription to Taste of Home's Simple and Delicious magazine #4 A one-year subscription to Taste of Home's Healthy Cooking magazine #5 A one-year subscription to Taste of Home Holiday magazine So, what do you have to do to enter? Create a tastefully artistic and delicious meal, take a photo of it and send the photo and the recipe(s) to studyinghisword@gmail.com .  I will be trying the recipes (if I possibly can!), but the competition will be judged by both the photo AND the taste of t...

chicken breast fillets plain flour egg, lightly beaten 3/4 cup milk for each egg required For each quantitiy of crumbing required: 1 cup breadcrumbs 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (grated to a fine powder) 1 teaspoon fresh or dried parsley olive oil or coconut oil *This recipe does not have strict quantities because it can be made for any amount, but don't be overwhelmed, it's still very simple.  I make this up from my head, never measure the quantities because I have made it SO many times.  Once you have made it a couple times you will get the hang of it and be able to estimate quantities yourself - it is a very simple recipe!* Cut the chicken into thin slices to the size of schnitzel pieces you require.  Use a meat tenderizer to make the chicken extra tender. Thoroughly coat the chicken in plain flour (this can be done in a bowl or by placing the plain flour and chicken pieces in a plastic bag and shaking it up until it is well-coated. Next the chicken m...

I apologise for the lack of recipe posts lately - life has a way of getting busy sometimes and projects and events have been keeping me very occupied lately.  During this break from posting recipes, I have been trying to go back and cook the recipes already posted again so I can take pictures of them.  You might notice the posts are slowly one-by-one having pictures added to them. In the meantime, feel free to email me with your favourite recipe to studyinghisword@gmail.com .  I would love to try some new recipes myself and add yours to the blog.  If you do send a recipe, please let me know if you would like me to post your name with your recipe - I can post them anonymously if you would prefer. I'm hoping to get back to posting a recipe each day soon! Don't forget to let me know what you think of the recipes when you try them!
