Get down to Photown!

: by Lady Erin Langford

Photown, Alexandria, Sydney Munch Munch Munch Seriously. The best Pho in Sydney if not the world outside of Vietnam! It taste like the stuff straight from the street of the Motherland and the staff really are the epitome of “service with a smile”. The Owner Mai is such a joy, always ready with a beaming smile and genuinely loves that people adore her food. The Pho stock is so addictive it should come with a warning label. The restaurant decor […]

Shakshuka

: by Lady Erin Langford

Baked Eggs in Spicy Tomatoes Munch Munch Munch We love to eat in a Sydney Israeli Cafe called Cafe Shenkin on the weekends and they have this amazing spicey-tomatoesy-dippy-breaky that we love to order. It’s an exotic departure from the usual cafe style big breaky. So this weekend I was inspired to make Shakshuka myself (actually my Partner sent me the link… hint hint) to the recipe published in our local Sydney newspaper the SMH. A few bits were changed around to […]

The Medallion Hotel, Hanoi

: by Lady Erin Langford

Phavourite Pho in all of ‘Nam Munch Munch I was quite surprise when concluding our trip around Vietnam that my phavourite pho would be found in Hanoi (The Medallion Hanoi, 11 Ma May, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi), in my hotel restaurant at breakfast no less. Only because if you read the guidebooks, the south has the best reputation for food. I tried Pho in hotels, on the street with the locals, and in popular tourist spots and comfy looking Vietnamese restaurants. […]

Sesame Wombok Crunchy Noodle Salad

: by Lady Erin Langford

Open Sesame! Munch Munch Munch My partner’s Mum makes this Crunchy Asian Noodle Salad all the time and it is just amazing. So very easy, so very tasty and oh my lordy so very munchy! Such a simple recipe that everyone will love. If it’s just the two of you prep everything and set aside half the cabbage mix leaving out half the nuts, noodles and dressing for the next day you serve it up (prevents serious sog factor). […]

Born Again Weiss Bar

: by Lady Erin Langford

Munch Munch I recently bought a massive tray of mangos because they were on a bulk buy special. And the thought of eating 14 mangos before they went bad was a little daunting so I gave myself a challenge to create a new dessert with them…and then it hit me, mango, ice cream…Weiss Bar!! A Summer favourite sorbet popsicle that Aussies love to eat, purchased from the corner shop on a hot day. So I deconstructed the Weiss Bar to […]

Potato Salad

: by Lady Erin Langford

Munch Munch I just adore eating potato salad with BBQ’ed food and made it myself for the first time on the weekend. Very happy with the results, in fact I wouldn’t change the recipe – first time luck I guess. BTW everyone at the BBQ loved the salad and there was none left in the bowl. To make it vego just omit the bacon :) Makes enough for hosting a BBQ, lets say 10 small side serves – […]

Spring Vegetable and Risoni Soup

: by Lady Erin Langford

Munch A simple vegetable soup perfect for cooler Spring evenings. It’s so variable just add the vegies that you like or follow mine exactly below. The fact that nothing really has to be prepared nicely means it’s really quick to prep and cook. The risoni added to the soup helps in thickening up the thin base with it’s starchiness. Serves 4 (Main Meals) dash olive oil to saute 1 large brown onion, roughly chopped 1/2 head garlic, […]

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pho Ga/Chicken Pho

: by Lady Erin Langford

Pho Sure! From Goop. Munch Munch Munch I was reading Gwynee Paltrow’s Blog Goop (I’ve subscribed to her Newsletter) and there was a phabulous recipe idea for leftover turkey, so I tried it with a BBQ Chook from the grocery store. When cooking the stock my kitchen just smelt so fricken amazing I couldn’t wait for those 20 excruciating minutes of simmer time to be up. This is the best Pho hands down to make in your kitchen in under thirty […]

Pho Bo/Beef Pho

: by Lady Erin Langford

Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup Munch I got this recipe from That’s Life! magazine and tried it out as it looked like a really quick and easy recipe for Beef Pho. It was actually a recipe submitted by one of their Readers, Polly Hemming from the NT. I made it exactly to the instructions (as far as flavour of the soup broth goes) and added a few other bits to bulk it out a bit, I have a huge appetite. The whole […]

South Western Quinoa

: by Lady Erin Langford

Munch Munch I came across this really interesting sounding recipe via Twitter feed by Cooking with Quinoa author Wendy Polisi (@cookingquinoa) after she started following me (@munchglutenfree) and my mouth started watering instantly! Made the recipe within a few ours of the discovery and had to substitute a few bits due to availability in Australia, the only thing I will change next time with regards to flavour is to add fresh coriander leaves, as I reckon it will really help […]

Nigella Lawson Asian Glass Noodle Salad

: by Lady Erin Langford

Munch Munch Munch I have recruited the lovely Nigella Lawson this evening and her salad is a knockout. So I used a bought BBQ Chicken. This is such a great little dish – no stove, no pots, no cooking. The secret to a really flavoursome glass noodle salad is too make sure the noodles are well and truly drained, sticky, not slippery. Serves 6 Sides For The Dressing 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2 fresh long red chillies, deseeded and […]

Poached Chicken & Lemon Ginger Rice

: by Lady Erin Langford

Munch Munch I enjoy eating asian poached chicken, it tastes amazing and I know that it is really healthy too, so I decided to have a crack at making my own. Beware it takes a loooong time, we ate dinner quite late but I was committed to doing it right. Despite all of the ingredients the flavour is really light. I also invented my own tasty rice along they way. It would be a great side to things like Chicken […]

Tuna & Quinoa Frittas

: by Lady Erin Langford

Munch Munch A total experiment that I’ve been thinking about for and while and was so yummy the partner kept picking the fritta bits off the plate before I was able to serve lunch. Moist from the tuna, sweet from the corn and pops of crunch from the quinoa, quick and tasty, not to mention healthy. Serves 4 1/2 cup quinoa 425g Tuna in Brine, drained very well, 72g Corn Kernels, also drained really well 1/4 cup […]

Kylie Kwong Fried Rice and Chilli Jam Chicken Skewers

: by Lady Erin Langford

Ginger in Fried Rice…the most moorish! Munch Munch Munch Three Munches for Fried Rice? Wait and see, you’ll never make it any other way again. I found Kylie Kwong’s Recipe on the ABC website, so Munchy I always have two serves. Also if you can’t find Chilli Jam anywhere, why not have a crack at making your own? I have tried a recipe that works beautifully, better than the gourmet jars I’ve found and way cheaper in the long run […]

Trident Asian Chicken Rice Noodle Soup

: by Lady Erin Langford

Lunch Express, choo choo! Munch The perfect healthy and very inexpensive lunch that you can make at work. I have made this plenty of times and I always receive compliments from strangers in the building. I reckon each bowl is only around $3.00 a pop. So if you have a microwave at work, invest in an inexpensive microwave/steamer bowl or if you work from home you can do this on the stove. Serves 1 1 packet Trident Chicken Noodle […]

Quinoa and Paprika Pumpkin

: by Lady Erin Langford

Munch Munch I just love this salad. We eat this most weeks accompanied by a piece of grilled salmon fillet. The zesty tang of the salad helps cut through grease, so perfect for eating with oily fish or BBQed meats. I found the recipe on the Gluten Free Goddess site, and adapted it to make it a little more filling with the Roasted Paprika Pumpkin. Serve 4 large sides 1 cup quinoa, rinse in a fine sieve 2 […]

Breakfast BLT

: by Lady Erin Langford

Munch Okay so every Sunday in my little hut unless there is something special planned I make breakfast for the two of us with whatever is in the fridge (he is a lucky boy). As I make it a point to always have Eggs available (they’re so versatile and good for you) it means I just have to get creative with whatever vegies or salad bits are leftover from the week. I decided to make a breakfast style version of a […]

Donna Hay Chilli Jam Chicken

: by Lady Erin Langford

Weeknight Staple with a difference Munch Munch Munch This is a perfect mid week meal. Few ingredients, little prep time and the fresh flavours pack a punch for the small effort that goes into the bowl of spicy goodness. I make this dish at least every fortnight, it’s so easy that you only need to read through the recipe the first time you make it. Takes no longer than 20 minutes all up too! And if you wish to make your own […]

Bruschetta 2 Ways

: by Lady Erin Langford

Where it all began… Munch Munch Munch I guess it was this little Breakfast/brunch that started this all. After being impressed with efforts one Sat-dy morning I took some snaps on my iPhone, posted it on my Facebook page and so many friends from all walks of life seemed to like what I’d managed. It was then I thought I’d do them all a favour and stop dumping my Food Pics onto their News Feeds and pop them on my […]

A can't remember a time when food hasn't been a part of my love of life. In fact part my very first memory is of my Nanna's Carambola tree in Darwin age 2-3. Since then it was sharing an Avocado with Mum and squishing the leftovers of the skin onto our faces for a free mask in Cairns age 7. Climbing Mango trees with my best friend Rachael in Mareeba aged 11. Scoffing three plates of Spaghetti before school athletics carnivals ages 10-17. Sucking the life out of tin of Sweet Condensed Milk as a little girl. To tell you the truth I still do this ;) Savouring my first Ham and Mushroom Croissant in Paris near the Musee D'Orsay age 24. Chomping down on my first Diddy Reis on my first trip to the USA age 25. Discovering via accident that finely shaved Garlic atop soft Brie is the best cracker combination ever Age 26. Eating everything off the street in Vietnam and consuming Pho for two weeks straight age 29. Munching on Cheese and sipping Moet Chandon in the Yarra age 30. Appreciating my first Veuve Cliquot after a show in Los Angeles age 31. So what I am saying is so many big moments of my life are in someway connected to food. I may not remember the names of the all the people I met but I will more than likely remember the kinds of food I ate at the time and be able to describe them to you in more details than you want to hear. So here on Munch Munch Munch is my love of food in all it's glory. A shame I didn't start documenting earlier.
