Baked Eggs with Spinach, Ham & Basil

This is a gorgeous, gorgeous way to eat eggs, bursting with savoury flavours! Try it for lunch, too.

Curried Parsnip Soup

Curry and parsnips may sound an odd combination but, believe it or not, this soup is absolutely delicious!

Chicken Stock

Homemade chicken stock is easy to make and also nutritious. It can often be made from remnants of a meal, or at least it is inexpensive to put together.

Parsnips

The best parsnips will have had an early morning shiver or two in frosty fields which sweetens them somewhat.

Baked Vegetables with Sizzled Haloumi

I love the way beetroot bleeds into the pumpkin in this dish, and how the sweeter vegetables respond to a tangy caper lemon dressing.

Hearty Beef & Mushroom Pies

Ha! This is really just a fancy-pants casserole with a pastry lid on!

Seedlip Cocktails

Some of these ingredients may be hard to source at home, but work with what you've got. The essential being the Seedlip base.

Crusty-topped Roast Lamb is hard to resist

Honey Spiced Vege with Burghul Wheat

I must admit that the whole week-day lunchtime situation is a bit of a never-ending challenge. Honey Spiced Vege with Burghul Wheat to the rescue.

A leg of lamb comfortably feeds a crowd. Go retro and serve it with gravy and mint sauce, roast vegetables and silverbeet (Swiss chard), or serve with eggplant (aubergine), minted labna and a grain like burghul. All the links below in Recipe Notes.

A Happy Trio of Tartinades

Ta-ta-tartinades.
Fluffy and creamy but not at all rich … Clevedon Buffalo spreads.

Burghul

Burghul: so many uses and all delicious.
