A bit of a mouthful of a title.. However, this is a great dish to spice up the usual lamb roast for summertime. The dressing is delectable and the salad, refreshing and light. The sumac adds a lovely lemony flavour and mixed with the fresh lemon is delicious.READ MORE
This is a tasty little pasta salad which has flown out the door the times I’ve made it. It will go great with any grilled meats, and so it’s a great side for a barbie, perhaps in place of potato salad. READ MORE
Pork has to be my all time favourite meat. It’s so often overlooked (or over cooked!) but if you buy good quality cuts, it is so sweet and tender, soaks up flavour really well and is cheap as chips compared to red meat. This is a really simple one-pot-wonder dish I’ve made for dinner parties many times. READ MORE
Karen Martini produces some of my all time favourite recipes. Her flavour combinations are always spot on and almost without fail simple to put together. I only made this Mexican inspired recipe for the first time a few weeks ago. READ MORE
I never got the hang of potato gnocchi. The couple of times I’ve made it, it’s turned out heavy and tough. I think it’s a case of too much flour, anyway, I gave it away for this lighter, simpler ricotta version (taken from the Two Greedy Italians), which I’ve made many times. READ MORE
When I first started dating Pete, I remember he couldn’t recognise the flavour of garlic in food. We’d be eating something laden with garlic and I’d say “gosh, this is garlicky” and he’d look at my quizzically. With a Greek background, garlic was so prevalent in his diet, that he actually didn’t know what it tasted like! READ MORE
In keeping with the Israeli theme and something to go perfectly with the Israeli salad, this spiced up schnitzel recipe from The Nosher gives new life to an old favourite. I use chicken but the recipe suggests turkey breast, which you don’t see often here in Oz, but which could be rather festive this time of year?! READ MORE
Ignore the image (if you can)… This is a great easy summer dinner which takes poached chicken salad to a whole new level. The recipe I use is from SBS Food, but there are more than a few different versions out there. I remember reading that this is a traditional Chinese street food snack READ MORE
This dish probably rates the highest on our family repeats list, it’s so simple and tasty. The name comes from the cooked pieces of pork mince looking like ants climbing the noodle ‘branches’. This is a Jill Dupleix recipe, but you’ll find a heap of different versions on the net. READ MORE
This has become a bit of a family tradition in recent years. Something to kick off the rich food fest that is Christmas and easy to boot.READ MORE
