Sorry but this is another “summer fruit” post! I’ve had this in my backlog of recipes and I really wanted to share it with you. I promise there will be some savoury stuff soon. What I like about this recipe is how easy and quick it is. Because I’ve been going mad buying all sorts [...]
It’s been nice and warm here in Sydney. I braved the crazy Christmas crowds yesterday and managed to get the last of my shopping out of the way. I know it’s a little hard for some people to comprehend but Christmas is a hot time of the year for us! Santa delivers his presents on [...]
Look at those glorious colours on those peppers! They scream out “summer is here!”. As soon as I smell the chargrilled flesh of these morsels, I picture myself on an idyllic Greek isle sipping a crisp white and enjoying these as part of a meze platter. But for the time being I’ll have to do [...]
I’ve been wanting to cook with broad beans for a while now. When I spotted these beauties at the market recently, my mind went into overdrive thinking of ways to enjoy them. As per usual though, I took the simple route. I used them as a side dish to some baked salmon I also cooked. [...]
Warming Lentil Soup
The rain has been quite persistent here in Sydney the last few days. Winter is slowly upon us and this is the time of year I get to indulge in my favourite comfort foods. Soups, braises and casseroles all make perfect “winter warming fare”. They fill you up and keep [...]
After my last recipe for the Joust I had a whole heap of ingredients left over that I needed to use up. Particularly the sweet potatoes and the parsnips. So I decided to make chips! Well, they’re a little more glamorous than the regular chips or crisps you may find in the [...]
Warming Pea and Spinach Soup
I always keep frozen veggies on hand. They come in very handy when a quick meal is needed and can rescue a dull meal. My “always on” stand by frozen vegetables are peas. They’re great for a quick pea mash to accompany a roast or grilled meat and [...]
Chicken drumsticks with rosemary and lemon
The weather’s gone haywire. Here we are midway through autumn and its gloriously warm with temperatures in the mid 20’s. A few weeks ago I started to see brown and red leaves on the trees and today I see flowers in beautiful bloom! Anyway, I was in [...]
Steamed Baby Bok Choy
Time for some vegies. I have been craving steamed, green vegetables for a few days now. So, instead of heading down the asparagus/broccoli route I opted for some good ol’ Chinese cabbage. Other wise known as bok choy or Pak choi. There are so many names and [...]
A great appetizer or starter
As the summer months finally wind down here in Sydney, admittedly a little earlier than normal, I seek to take advantage of the last of the summer fruits and vegetables at the markets. The figs I cooked the other day were fantastic and very tasty. On that same day [...]
