Cook up this easy Vietnamese caramelised pork

In 2009, foodies around the world were shocked when Condé Nast’s Gourmet magazine was suddenly closed.

My Kitchen Year follows Ruth through the course of her challenging year over four seasons and 136 recipes – recipes that represent her life-long passion for food. Throughout the book you’ll find a perfect pound cake for autumn, a decadent grilled cheese for winter, rhubarb sundaes for spring and this recipe for easy Vietnamese caramelised pork for summer. more

Grill healthy pork chops with pear and lilly pilly compote

Mmm pork. Mmm pear. Mmm … lilly pilly? Chances are you haven’t had the opportunity to sample this tasty little fruit, but trust us – you’re going to love it. These purple berries grow on native Australian lilly pilly trees and have been eaten for thousands of years by Aboriginal people, but aren’t commonly found in everyday cooking. Ian Thorpe was first introduced to them by a friend on a tour of the botanical gardens in Sydney, and was immediately inspired to cook with them. You too can experiment with them in Ian’s recipe for pork chops with pear and lilly pilly compote – the berries add a slightly peppery taste to contrast the sweetness of the pear. This is one of the many recipes you’ll find in Ian’s paleo-inspired cookbook Eat Well Now, which focuses on great tasting food that is good for you too. more
