Splash of Colour 13th March 2019 My suggestion for this weekend is to get yourself off to a farmers’ market and to gather up a basket of gorgeously fresh produce, then to head home and cook your way through it. Vegetables and fruits are incredible in colour and shape and I always enjoy unpacking my…

A right little head-turner!

Cake time! It’s easy when you know how.

Yep, they sure ting-le your taste buds. Food a bit flat? Life a bit boring? Add a few capers and liven things up.

Blood peaches have succulent melting flesh and buckets of flavour.

Rub in flavour!

It could be that pomegranates were the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. They’re nothing much to look at on the outside but the clusters of ruby-red jewel-like seeds inside could have seduced even the staunchest of hearts.

Eggplants can be char-grilled on a barbecue grill or in a ridged grill pan.

Toasty roasty coffeeish – that’s toasted hazelnuts! Here’s how to do it.

Ilaria’s Roasted Red Pepper & Chickpea Dip.

Get char-grilling!

Easy summer salads.

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…

Shared Kitchen has had a summer snooze, and hopefully you did, too, but now it’s time to embrace the year and all the possibilities it holds. I don’t bother with all sorts of promises to myself at the beginning of each new year – mainly because the list would be depressingly long (so much self-improvement…

A little creative plating can help expensive berries feed many mouths … and it looks so festive!

I had a chat with Wendyl Nissen about 10 years ago. About chooks. Although we worked in the same industry at the time (magazineland) our paths had never crossed, but I knew she kept chooks, and as I wanted to get some, I got her number and called her. She’s one of those people who…

Gloriously fudgy in texture, new season jersey benne potatoes are worth getting excited about.

Planning on eating your way around the world? Read this book before you leave home.

It’s weird and I don’t know why it works, but soft-cooked eggs on squished avocado just tastes so damned good.
