Chicken & Roasted Yellow Pepper Salad

Golden tasty nuggets of chicken atop a mound of salad leaves imbued with sweet and tangy yellow peppers and capers … my kind of dinner.

Poached Feijoas

Pucker up no more – poach the little blighters in a wine syrup for a sweeter feijoa treat.

Sometimes I yearn for something hot and cheesy, all sort of melty and dribbly. Any old mushrooms on toast won’t do. I’m after the no-compromise, flavour-packed, cheesy, melty richer-than-rich version. Yeah. Brilliant. Just make these, you’ll have no regrets.
