A lot of friends ask me whether I eat all the food I cook on the blog. To that I always answer a resounding “yes”! I’m not sure what they think I do with it! Another question I get often, is if the food I cook reflects my diet/lifestyle. I think what they really mean is “do you eat all those pavlovas you cook?”. LOL When it comes to sweets/cakes [...]

My favourite way of getting those all important omega 3′s into my diet is by eating salmon. I find it quite a versatile fish and definitely love getting creative with it. My recent blog post on salmon burgers prepared with home made brioche buns, really got a lot of attention. Generally though, I find I have been quite slack with recipes for salmon here at Souvlaki For The Soul.  Looking [...]

Are you ever consumed by food cravings that just won’t go away?  Do you suddenly have the urge to cook things that you usually wouldn’t?  I do. And depending on the complexity of the dish and time required, I cave in…hey we’re only human after all!  My cravings began with burgers last week. After recovering from my sinusitis and eating enough

Christmas day lunch?  A flashback to the 70′s?  A modern day revamp of “surf and turf“?  All of the above.  I haven’t had this combination of meat and seafood in years.  I predict it

The cooler weather has finally arrived and I’m ready to indulge in a few more hearty recipes to warm up the insides.  This winter, instead of focusing on the usual stews made with beef, I’m going to try my hand at using some seafood.  This is a very big step for me.  I’ve always admitted to being a bit of a “wimp” when it comes to preparing seafood recipes.  I’m [...]

It’s been a few weeks!  A busy few weeks.  I had a bit of a break and went down to the South Coast of NSW for a few days with a group of friends.  I’ll be covering that in a future post.  I also managed to get down to Tasmania for a week but that was strictly business-helping out a friend on a project.  I was also in the States [...]

When it comes to seafood, it’s definitely a weakness with me.  And I don’t mean eating it!  I’m actually talking about cooking it!  Yes, it’s an area that I require more practice in.  Fish wasn’t a common dish for me when growing up.  I suppose it

After a “hard” day’s swimming around the islands located in the Gulf of Thailand there was really no better way to end it than with a private seafood barbecue right on the beach!  Ok…let me clarify.  It wasn’t a traditional “bonfire” type of barbecue.  It was a beautiful table set up for dinner on the sand for the six of us.  The folks at the Sareeraya really know how to [...]

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 a surf board at Bondi Beach…it’s true I tell ya! Anyway, I’ve really been relaxing [...]

I haven’t really felt like cooking anything too exotic or complicated lately.  A quick look in the cupboard yielded that can of tuna staring right back at me.  You know the “one”.  The one you buy for emergencies and maybe for that tuna pasta.  Another quick look in the fridge and I found some leftover basil pesto, half a red onion, some parsley on its death bed and some potatoes.  [...]

As I explained yesterday, I’m not really a big seafood eater.  I’m trying to indulge in more seafood in particular the “good variety”.  Salmon is a good choice as it provides a number of essential nutrients and oils.  I also enjoy its meaty texture and find it quite filling.  I wanted to pair the salmon with the fresh flavours of spring so I used a number of fresh herbs and [...]

  This is a simple “throw everything together” kind of pasta dish that I enjoyed a few weeks ago and only got around to posting now.  Remember when I prepared last month’s Joust entry and I used prawns?  Well I had so may leftover that I had to use them quickly.  A great idea came to me to pair the prawns with some of the loukaniko I also had lying [...]
