I made this dish, which consists of rice and toppings – meat, egg, peas and carrots – using a friend’s recipe. I had purple carrots in the fridge so I used them in place of orange ones.

Spectacular Pictures from 500 Posts
This is my final 500-post retrospective post. The dishes I’ve selected here were chosen simply because I liked the photos. Many of my favourite photos, like my favourite foods, have rich colours.

Repeated Recipes from 500 Posts
Continuing my retrospective of the last 500 posts, these are some recipes that are among my favourites. Because I like to try new dishes, a recipe has to be special for me to remember to make it more than once.

Recipes to Try Again from 500 Posts
Now that I’ve reached 500 posts and about three years of blogging, I thought it would be a good time to look back through my pictures to to remind myself of dishes I enjoyed but haven’t made for some time. This is the first of three retrospective posts on 500 posts/3 years.

Pasta with Sujuk and Spinach
Coming home late one evening I was extremely hungry so I threw together a pasta dish in less than 15 minutes. This is one of my rare dishes containing meat.
I added some sujuk in a pan, then added mushroom, sweet pepper, snow peas and eventually spinach while the pasta cooked. The sujuk has sufficient salt for the entire dish, and because the vegetables are cooked in the meat grease (no extra oil needs to be added) they also acquire seasoning.
Chicken Ramen Soup
I do not like instant ramen noodles very much, but a homemade soup with a bit of baby bok choy and carrot, and actual chicken is a completely different dish.
Suriname Chicken Masala
Some friends and I made Suriname chicken curry with pumpkin, beans and potato.
Pilaf and Creamy Chicken
I’ve previously prepared this buttered rice pilaf with vegetables, and the chicken is marinated in tikka spices and grilled on the barbecue, then smothered in a creamy cashew-coconut sauce.
Indian Pizza
Ever since I first tried it, I’ve been convinced Indian pizza is the best fusion food in the world. For this pizza I made a basic pizza dough and a creamy coconut-cashew-tomato sauce. The pizza is topped with sweet peppers, tandoori chicken, purple onion and halloumi cheese.
