Miso Chicken & Bean Stir Fry
I received a couple of Jars of Organic Miso Paste from my friends at Umami Pantry. The Miso, among other products are all Australian made, certified organic and vegan. They asked me to cook with their Miso products and truth be told, I haven't had loads of experience...
Roast Chicken, Carrot & Orange Tray Bake
I am always sprouting on about just how much I love food but after eating this plate of pure Roast Chicken Heaven, I really don't think I can reiterate just how much. This was so simple, so delightful and so comforting that I was salivating the next day, just looking...
Spiced Lamb with Preserved Lemon Salsa Verde
I am always looking for new, easy recipes for entertaining that can be largely made ahead, look super impressive on the plate and taste amazing. This Spiced Lamb with Preserved Lemon Salsa Verde ticked all of those boxes and more except that every time I have cooked...
Steak with Creamy Miso Mushrooms
I have been thinking about cooking Steak with Miso for ages. I did a little attempt a while ago but found the miso to be a bit too over powering and way too salty. I did some research and found a recipe on Delicious that ticked most of the boxes but I really wanted...
Lemongrass Chicken Noodle Bowls
This glorious Lemongrass Chicken Noodle Bowls recipe just screams of summer and the way that I like to serve it, perfect for a small crowd. I marinate succulent and tender thigh pieces in a fragrant and tangy lemongrass infused marinade (for at least four hours for...
Chinese BBQ Duck, Mushroom & Noodle Soup
One of the fast foods I love and crave the most is a good Asian style noodle soup. We have a local place at two locations within a 10km radius and if I am hungover, cold, hot, happy, sad or all these combined, I make a beeline and order either the Chinese BBQ Duck...

Spiced Pumpkin & Lentil Soup with Coriander, Cashew & Coconut Pesto
The change of seasons just makes me want to cook hale and hearty food, even though the temperature is still mild. My sister gave me a huge Japanese Pumpkin and I just knew that I had to come up with a variation of Pumpkin Soup. Jap pumpkins can be soft and lacking a...
Tomato & Sumac Onion Salad
I had a little Middle Eastern inspired dinner party last weekend and true to form, I had too many bubbles and forgot to photograph the main event. It happens Every. Single. Time. I will be making the main event again as it was a divine Spiced Lamb Backstrap with...
Vegan Cauliflower Taco’s
Woah, woah, woah, these Cauliflower Taco's have totally bowled me over. I am not Vegan but occasionally like to dabble in creating some Vegan recipes. I see it as a bit of challenge and Vegan food is undeniably healthy. For me it is all about balance and these...
Cob Dip with Charred Corn, Cheddar & Jalapeno’s
I have always wanted to make a Cob Dip but truth be told, they scare me. Once I get my hands on that cheesy goodness and gloriously crusty bread, I fear I won't be able to stop and as it turns out, I was right. I searched the internet high and low for the right recipe...
Whole Baked Cauliflower with Harissa & Yoghurt
I think it is absolutely astounding how far the humble vegetable has come in the last 10 years. Gone are the days of boring side dishes, when the vegetables resembled anything but a good healthy veg and more like Boarding School or Hospital fodder or your last meal on...
Mediterranean Grilled Vegetable Salad
I had both my boys home for dinner the other day and I always like to make a bit of a fuss when we are all together. I had an abundance of Mediterranean vegetables in the fridge (fennel, zucchini, red & yellow capsicum) that I thought would pair really well with...
The Basics
Homemade Yoghurt Flatbreads
If you have never made bread before then this is the recipe for you. There are hundreds of Homemade Yoghurt Flatbread recipes out there but I found Jamie Oliver's to be the simplest and the most successful. Although the dough is slightly sticky and flour goes...
Malaysian Curry Paste
Another winning Curry Paste to add to the basics collection. Fragrant and delicious, my Husband claimed this to be the best dish I ever made and it all came down to a few fresh ingredients whacked in a blender. Too easy 🙂 Makes approximately 1 cup 5 cloves of garlic, peeled 2 long […]
Thai Red Curry Paste
Being the busy little bees that we are these days, it is so much easier to just open a jar or tin of Red Curry Paste and be done with it. But if you can spare 5 minutes it is actually so easy to make and tastes so much better…… fresher. I have to admit, […]
