Could there be a better fruit combination than strawberries and mango? Doubt it.

A messy Sunday night supper – asparagus & eggs
Mmmm. If you love eggs, and you love asparagus, it’s time to dunk!
Pork Snitzels with Parmesan Crust
Golden, crunchy, crusty snitzels do it for me every time.
Tamarillos – golden and red beauties
When I grew up these little beauties were called tree tomatoes. Where does the name tamarillo come from?
Baked Eggs with Spinach, Ham & Basil
Ding Ding! Breakfast is served (or make that brunch, lunch or supper).
Sautéed Spiced Persimmons
Hey, is this breakfast or dessert? You choose.
Bubble & Squeak Cakes
Bubble & Squeak … What a name!
Baked Eggs with Spinach, Ham & Basil
Dip, dunk, off you go …
Hot-smoked Salmon & Potato Hash Cakes
Nope. There’s no hash in these, no hemp either. Just loads of herbs, good old-fashioned spuds and tasty hot-smoked salmon.
Creamed Sweet Corn on Toasted Muffins
Brunch, lunch anytime ….
Lentils, Spinach & Eggs
Brunch or lunch? Your place or mine?
Eggs ‘n Avo
Eggs and avocados, an unlikely combination, and for breakfast? Whaaa? (That’s hands in the air screaming whaaaaattt?) It really didn’t ring my bell until I tried it, but now I am hooked. I’ve made a few adjustments, as you do. I can’t eat it for breakfast, as it is too rich, too filling, just too […]
Fresh Sweet Corn Fritters
Brunch, lunch, munch … sweet corn fritters with the ‘works’ are hard to resist.
Making an omelette
I don’t know why people don’t cook omelettes more often. They’re so quick, so tasty and so utterly satisfying, that it’s almost criminal to think of dashing off to buy fast food when there’s an egg or two in the pantry.
Labna
Labna is thick and creamy, velvety-textured and lemony fresh, but not at all rich to eat.
Black Bean Tacos with Orange & Avocado Crema
Pale and creamy, perfect for dolloping, dipping or squiggling!
Date Syrup – rich & sticky
Dark, rich and sticky … is date syrup really what it’s cracked up to be?
Swedish Stir-fry (Pyttipanna)
A Swedish twist on bacon and eggs. Or stir-fry. Or bacon & egg stir-fry!
Bircher revisited
Brazil nuts, toasted oats, coconut and blueberries – a perfect start to the day.
Poached Feijoas
Pucker up no more – poach the little blighters in a wine syrup for a sweeter feijoa treat.
Mushrooms on Toast
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.
Salmon & Potato Hash
Here’s a great brunch munch – bulk it out with poached eggs, baked tomatoes, roasted fennel, that sort of thing.
Baked Summer Fruit
Rock that stone fruit! Baking in a fruity white wine makes even unripe fruit taste half decent!
Sizzled potatoes – all buttery, crunchy and golden
You can get all fancy and give the potatoes a quick toss in the pan, and with a bit of luck they’ll all end up back in the pan. Otherwise, follow the 2-second rule, or whistle in the dog.
Gingered Fruit Salad
Colourful, crunchy, juicy, tangy and with a balanced minty ginger bite, a bowl of fresh fruit salad is the perfect end to a summer’s meal.
Grilled Swiss Sandwiches
Cheesey, melty, crunchy, tangy, salty, juicy mmmm. Brunch has never been better.
