You may not believe me but this was my first time making Potato Gnocchi. I’m not sure why but I’ve always put it in the too hard basket and truth be told, it is not something I normally order or crave. It is a bit touch and go in restaurants as sometimes...
I just love me a good, healthy, low carb meal that is easy to make and tastes sensational. This Eggplant Lasagne ticked absolutely every box and it makes a large lasagne so we had lunch the next day and even some left over to freeze. You seriously do not miss the...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Ok, so I want to make one thing clear. I am definitely not a vegan and while I respect vegans and what they stand for, I am definitely not becoming a vegan. I did however, want to challenge myself to cook a vegan meal and not just any vegan meal, because that could...
I absolutely adore making Risotto. There is something so therapeutic about the cooking process, the gradual adding and stirring that I find totally relaxing. I always set myself up with the ingredients prepped and ready so that I am not caught out at the last minute...
I’m always looking for vegetarian recipes that are ‘Meaty’. The kind where you really don’t even think about the fact that there is no meat in them and they leave you feeling satisfied and not missing the fact that there is no bone to gnaw on...
Quite possibly my main source of inspiration to create new recipes is to use up what I have in the perishables department. I loathe waste and try really hard to not throw away perfectly good food just because it is a little past its used by date. This Risoni Bake was...
