Lentil Soup-”Fakes”

March 12, 2010 Greek Food

I love lentils!  I’m thinking of getting that printed on a t-shirt and telling the whole world.  Ok. Maybe that’s a little over the top but what’s not to love about this legume?  It’s healthy, full of fibre and definitely fills

Giouvarlakia Revisited

June 17, 2009 Greek Food

I’ve decided to redo giouvarlakia this winter.  I’ve blogged about giouvarlakia before and you can find my recipe here.  I love the “heartiness” of this dish and I can eat them non stop. They definitely warm up the insides.  However, in my “extreme makeover” (ok, maybe not that extreme) I add a bunch of chopped [...]

Roast Tomato and Capsicum Soup

July 23, 2008 Recipes

Enough of the greens for the mean time.  Let’s add a splash of red into the mix!  We’re right in the middle of winter here in Sydney, Australia.  Very cool nights and “crisp” mornings.  As I type this, the wind is howling and its raining.  I don’t really mind winter.  You  just have to adjust [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
