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 ….

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.
