Dick LEE - Being Simple is Beautiful
Apart from cooking, Mr. Dick LEE, the former Commissioner of Police, develops his own recipes, too. He plays magic with ordinary and simple Ingredients. His rule of thumb for developing recipe is using plenty of vegetables and just the right amount of meat. When it comes to methods, he prefers streaming and stewing, as it is less oily.

Here are two recipes he recommends - the Braised Pork Chop in Onion Sauce and the Coronation Chicken Salad. They are simple, healthy and affordable to many.

The Pork chop dish, made of pork chop and onion, is easy to make and delicious. When served with vegetables and rice, it makes a wonderful lunch.

The Coronation Chicken Salad is a famous recipe which was created for Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation lunch in 1953. It is a cold dish using chicken breast fillet, new potatoes and green seedless grapes. The sauce is a mixture of mild curry power, low-fat mayonnaise, fresh mango puree and fresh lemon juice, which gives a fresh and rich flavour.
