Perkedel, Potato Corn Beef Patty
These potato patties are crispy on the outside & soft inside, really delicious. I like adding Corn Beef to my recipe but the meat is optional. You must try these if you haven’t & they’re not difficult to make at home. You could also mould them into cartoon shapes for fussy kids to make a lunch box for them!

Angry Birds Onigiri Lunch Box
An idea struck me when it was my son’s lunch box day on Fridays. Jon loves Onigiri, so I decided to make him an Angry Birds Lunch Box! Angry Birds, the popular & best-selling mobile game, has taken the world by storm. The game is about these birds who’re angry because their eggs were stolen by a bunch of green pigs. Since they can’t fly, they’ve to use a giant slingshot to catapult themselves to destroy those…

So, I devised a way to reintroduce moisture to the mix without increasing the fat content …

I decided to make them some snack bars – I could just buy them the boxed bars at the store, but I hate pre-…
Spinach croquettes
I was one of those picky eater kids who would never eat vegetables. I would gag, cry, induce vomit – anything to not eat my green beans. Once, during a family vacation to Cape Cod, my uncle placed celery stalks in the shape of a cross outside my bedroom door to keep me in bed. It worked. My punishment is that I now have one of those children. The recipe I am going to give you is the only green vegetable that…
