Tempura Fried Zucchini Flowers filled with Zesty Chive Goats Cheese

posted by

I love Christmas, I love entertaining, catching up with friends and family and enjoying the warmer weather. It is a crazy busy time of year for us, work wise this is the busiest time of the year for our business, which is great in the business sense, but it really cramps my style on the personal […]

Caramelised Onion, Rosemary & Roasted Garlic Tofu Quiche with Olive Oil Pastry

posted by

I had rather naively made the decision that I wouldn’t try to adapted versions of certain dishes that I figured couldn’t possibly be the same as their ‘normal’ counterparts. I saw recipes on vegan blogs and thought ‘they just think it’s good, because they don’t know any better”. Then a couple of weeks ago I […]

Honey & Soy Salmon with Infused Coconut Rice

posted by

Since giving up gluten, cows milk & eggs, I have felt pretty amazing. I find it sad that I spent most of my 20’s and half my 30’s in an exhausted, sick fog, and missed out on a lot of things I would have liked to do. I had no idea how badly it was […]

Beer Can Chicken With Chorizo & Haloumi Salad

posted by

Paul Hogan once made it an Aussie saying to ‘throw another shrimp on the barbie’ even though we don’t even call them shrimp in Australia, they are prawns here. But Beer Can Chicken has slowly been creeping in the past few years, and in my book, it doesn’t get more Aussie than a chicken sitting […]

Indian Spiced Pork Belly with Rice Pilaf

posted by

My family laugh at my “this is the best ever!” statements, I do have a tendency to get a little over enthusiastic about recipes, restaurants, etc, when I like something. I would rather be the person that raves about the great things than be the one that complains about only the bad things…..well that is […]

Dark Chocolate, Honey & Lavender Truffles

posted by

Lavender seems to be one of those flavours that you either love or hate. I decided to have a go at coming up with a truffle recipe, and I like lavender, so I gave it a go. I wanted to test them out to make sure other people liked them, so I took them to […]

Middle Eastern Spicy Lamb with Gluten Free Flatbread and Yoghurt

posted by

When we sit down to a meal, and after a few bites my husband says “are you sure this won’t make you sick?” I know I am onto a winner. I used to make this every now and then, but kept flicking past the recipe since I gave up gluten, and cow’s dairy, thinking it […]

Carrot, Apple & Orange Cake

posted by

A friend turned to me the other day and said ” I take it your oven is working again”. Yes it is, I said, how did you know? “Your arms are covered in burns again!”. It’s true, my oven is finally fixed after 9 months! Happy Days!. It is also a fact that, I can’t […]

Maple Glazed Mini Chorizo Meatloaf

posted by

Remember when you were a kid, and your friends brought something to school for lunch, that you secretly coveted. Meatloaf was mine. My mum never made meatloaf, it just wasn’t on her list of recipes on rotation at our house. I’d see someone with a meatloaf & tomato sauce sandwich, and it looked like the […]

Hot Smoked Salmon & Potato Salad @ Glenbrook Farmers Markets

posted by

I really enjoy seeing where our food comes from, and meeting the people behind it. As part of this blog, I want to share great foodie finds; visiting farmers markets, festivals, farm gates, regional specialties, etc, and then create a meal using the produce.  I thought it was only fitting to have my local market as […]

Chunky Steak, Mushroom & Bacon Pie

posted by

A friend and I headed off after work on Friday to the Gluten Free Expo, and after being directed in circles and finally to the furthest possible carpark, we made out way on foot for the hike back across to the other side of Olympic Park. On the walk we were a little worried that […]

Asian Inspired Chicken Noodle Soup

posted by

We have had a serious breakout of ‘man-flu’ at my house this week. I can’t really tease my husband too much, he isn’t normally a complainer about being sick. I don’t have a good track record, either. A few years ago, I came home to him vacuuming our apartment and complaining of pain. In my book, […]

Coq Au Vin with Roasted Garlic & Olive Oil Mash

posted by

This dish sums up winter for me, a rich & hearty French chicken & mushroom stew with delicious mash potato, a glass of red, while sitting in front of the open fire. I thought it was only fitting as my last winter post of the year, to cook up my favourite winter meal. Cooking this fills […]

Corn Fritters with Tomato Relish & Avocado

posted by

Do you have a signature dish? This has become mine. One friend has gone as far to say, that if he had to pick his last meal, these fritters would be his choice. Big call! And of course, I am not horrible enough to send him pictures of corn fritters every time I make them……..”insert […]

Fennel, Chilli & Pork Ragu

posted by

I haven’t had an oven since Christmas (yes, my oven broke on Christmas Day while cooking lunch for 12 people). For some reason, getting the part needed to fix the thermostat seems to be in the too-hard basket for repairers. The oven currently knows only one temperature, and unfortunately nothing I want to cook requires […]

Lemon & Garlic Stuffed Artichokes

posted by

A couple of weekends ago I went to a food styling and photography course with Billy Law from A Table For Two workshops. I have done a bit of photography before and thought this food blogging thing would be a breeze, until I realised two things. Firstly, I haven’t done any photography for a long […]

Pickled Jalapeño’s

posted by

I love the flavour of chilli (peppers) but I am a novice when it comes to heat. I am a lot better than I used to be, I used to find satay sauce hot. After years of building up my tolerance, I can now take a mid range heat. My husband on the other hand, […]

Mexican Rice with Chicken, Black Beans & Quinoa

posted by

How about some super healthy mexican? Completely guilt free… not a trace of cheese or sour cream in sight! While this recipe may not be quite authentic, it’s a bit of a concoction I came up with, adding a bit of this and that until it came together, but boy did it taste good! I’m […]

Cherry Chocolate Crackles

posted by

(gluten, dairy, soy, egg & nut free) I’m not sure if I forgot just how good they are, or if these ones were just really good, but I think we need to reclaim the good old chocolate crackle back from the kids table. I became so obsessed with making chocolate crackles this week, I was […]

Mixed Mushroom & Thyme Risotto with Lemon Infused Oil

posted by

(gluten, egg, soy & nut free ) A good risotto is a labour of love, and like all good love stories, I’ve found a little alcohol never goes astray 😉 There is a half a glass of wine in this recipe, which leaves plenty for you to enjoy a glass or two during the 30-40 […]

Char Sui Pork & Prawn Rice Paper Rolls

posted by

(gluten, dairy, egg & nut free) While the produce where I live in the Blue Mountains is great, it is lacking in diversity. Luckily I work in the Inner West of Sydney, which has a real mixing pot of cultures. I love going to different areas and visiting shops that have amazing food and produce available. […]

Cafe de Paris Butter with Steak

posted by

I love a good steak, my problem is that I am pretty bad at cooking them. I’d have a better chance of getting one of Adriano Zumbo’s cakes right, than I am of cooking a perfectly juicy, medium-rare steak. Luckily, this recipe has saved my steaks for years.  It is a recipe for Cafe de […]

Cumquat & Blood Orange Marmalade

posted by

When I was little, our neighbour had a huge cumquat tree that used to hang over our side of the fence. I loved them. I hadn’t seen them for years until I visited a friends house and they had a tree full of ripe fruit. I excitedly grabbed a handful and popped them straight into […]

Caramelised Pumpkin & Onion Pizza with Goat Cheese Feta

posted by

(gluten, cow’s dairy, egg, soy & nut free, vegetarian) My first attempt at gluten & cow’s dairy free pizza using buffalo mozzarella didn’t go well. I read that some people with cows milk intolerance, can have buffalo milk. While it tasted amazing, it turns out buffalo’s are way too closely related to cows for me. […]

Lemon & Parsley Chicken Schnitzel with Garlic Coleslaw

posted by

(gluten, dairy, egg, soy & nut free) I have been really trying to keep positive about changing my diet, but this weekend, I took a trip down self-pity lane. After a few weeks with no soy, I took my chance on a soy coffee, since soy came up as a mild intolerance. I haven’t had […]

Pork, Apple & Thyme Meatballs in Tomato Chilli Sauce

posted by

(gluten, dairy, egg, soy & nut free) I get excited about strange things. My local butcher sells mostly free range meat, and when I asked if they had any pork mince, they told me to pick whichever cut I wanted and they would mince it for me. For some reason, the idea of freshly minced […]

Lime, Lemongrass & Green Chilli Chicken

posted by

(gluten, dairy, egg, soy & nut free) This is one of my favourite chicken dishes. I’ve been cooking it for years, and was so happy to find that I can still have it. Just roughly chop up all the paste ingredients and throw them in a food processor. If you don’t have a processor, you […]
