Moroccan Chick Pea Stew
Now the supermarket shelves have been stripped of chick peas, you must have some at hand! This is a lovely warming meal that even the kids will love. I always cook much more than is needed for a single meal and suggest you do the same. Fill the freezer with nutritious meals, hand out to friends or elderly neighbours and … Read More
Cheese & Onion Frittata
I’m cleaning out the pantry and getting organised for the Coronavirus lockdown. We also have enough food for months here, but pantry moth and new bulk orders arriving this week mean a big clean out and tidy up. With a pile of old onions looking decidedly seedy, I decided to capitalise on the over abundance of eggs and make an … Read More
Herb Fritters with Green Tahini Dip
I got new recipe books for Christmas – lots of Ottolenghi and I am loving having new ideas and new Simple recipes that even my picky eater child loves. This one I first made on New Year’s Eve and it has rapidly become a family favourite. Herbs are SO SIMPLE to grow and I highly recommend that you have a … Read More
Pesto
Is there anything more redolent of summer than the sweet and garlicky green gorgeousness of Basil Pesto?

Perfect for lunch boxes or pails for people (large and small) on the move: Big handful of cashews 1 tbsp cumin 200g cooked beetroot 3 tbsp tahini 2 large garlic cloves Juice of 2 large lemons … Read More
Sweet, Sour & Spicy Cucumber Salad
It’s that time of year when the veggie patch harvest has reached glut proportions. This is a summer/autumn favourite in our house – particularly with the small man. We use our homegrown honey and chilli flakes (dried in the sun) and Apple Cider Vinegar as it is so good for you, but I’m sure a wine vinegar would work equally … Read More
Hearty Lentil Stew
This is a winter warmer that both vegetarians and carnivores will love. It’s so hearty and full of flavour, yet so easy to make. Get a big pot and make plenty so you can fill the freezer for those cold winter nights when you can’t be bothered to cook! Use PUY LENTILS (labelled as French Lentils in Aussie supermarkets) which … Read More
