I love prawns and will them eat them every way, even raw if it’s been prepared by a professional. This is a garlic prawn that is available in almost every cafe and I’ve taken to copying the recipe by taste.
I’ve blached the asparagus to go in the green salad and the cream adds as a dressing. Oh so rich and yummy.

If you can’t be bothered peeling them yourself then get those large packs of frozen uncooked prawns. To make them open up a bit more just cut deeper along the vein line. Prawns are so easy because they absorb flavouring so well. I change the marinade every time I make this dish. I alway put a bit of oil (peanut and sesame oil always gets people talking about the nuttiness of it), a sprinkle of salt, sometimes chilli, or curry paste, or mirin, the list goes on. Heat pan, add oil and garlic if you want or onions, and brown and throw the prawns in for only a little while, just until the prawns start to butterfly and then turn the heat off and leave on stove for maybe another minute. Pour the prawns over an adventurous garden salad.

This is the easiest soup. You just put some water in a large sauce pan, add pork bones and a garlic clove the you’ve just bruised. I find the garlic makes the soup smell nicer during the cooking process, you don’t have that full on pork smell going through your house. In 20 min to 1/2 hour after simmering add some chopped carrots and a generous amount of fish sauce, to taste. When the meat is tender add in the water cress and be ready to serve. You could also use cabbage as well.
This has been a family dish since I can remember and it’s a winner with the children. Add steamed rice into the soup bowl and break off the meat and serve it to even babies who can’t get enough.

I had arranged a lovely day out eating, drinking, and rowing along the river before the weather got too wet and cold. The week was so mild for this time of year and I looked forward to this pretty gathering with enthusiasm. Then of course the weather bureau predicted not only wet and cold but wind and hail as well. So we decided to have it at our loft in Northcote. It turned out to be very delightful indeed.
