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...
These aromatic little bundles of Moroccan Meatball joy make a fabulously cheap and cheerful, midweek family meal or are equally impressive on the dinner party menu. Lightly spiced, tender and poached in a rich, lemony sauce they will appeal to everyone and can be...
I have a new found love in my life. It’s a tray bake. How can you whack a few items on a tray, bung it in the oven and completely knock it out of the park on the flavour scale? Admittedly, there is a little yoghurt dressing for this one and you do need to blanch...
There is no quicker way to have a quick lamb roast than with a lamb rack. They literally take 15-20 minutes to cook, they are choc full of flavour and are finger licking good! This dish was a little wonder of Asian delight, a low carb alternative and with a healthy,...
I am a HUGE fan of Turkish food. I love its simplicity and this divine recipe I found on the Internet by Janet Fletcher from a book called ‘Yoghurt’ was no exception. There are a few steps to this recipe but it is really quite simple and the end result...
I always get a tad excited when I find something new in the supermarket. The McKenzie’s Super Blend mix of Freekeh, lentils & Beans sounded pretty interesting to me so I thought I would give it a whirl. It was awesome! Loads of goodness in one packet that...
I am forever on the hunt for new curries to make and it appears there is no shortage of variations. When I was cleaning out my cookbook shelf (no surprise they are a huge weakness of mine), I came across an old Woman’s Weekly ‘Winter Favourites’...
Good Thor, I love Greek food. Tender lamb chunks and whole baby onions, slowly cooked in cinnamon and red wine had the whole house smelling like a dream. It just so happened I had some fennel and cauliflower lying around the veggie crisper so a Greek inspired bake...
It is absolutely no secret how much I adore a good Lamb Curry and it amazes me how many variations there are. This is an Em’s Food version that has the ever present traditional blend of delicious spices as well as peppery curry leaves, fragrant bay and coconut...
Greek food is a particular favourite of mine and luckily so is a good burger! These juicy patties were spiked with finely chopped kalamata olives and a hint of cinnamon that took them to a seriously high level on the Em’s Food flavour scale. Paired with salty,...
There is a rather complicated, traditional dish in Mexico called Mole` that uses dark chocolate as its sweetening agent. The dish really appeals to me but because of its complexity I have resisted making it. I am also not in Mexico so figure it is totally OK to put...
I absolutely love the change of seasons and by the end of summer I have a serious hankering for hearty soups and stews. This was one hearty soup I can tell you, and so will the six humungous manboys I fed it to. Molten lamb, protein packed chickpeas and sweet...
