Apricot Panettone Pudding

Rich, sweet and creamy … thank goodness the sourness of apricots takes the edge off!

Mango & Strawberries – summer in a bowl

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 Schnitzels with Parmesan Crust

Golden, crunchy, crusty schnitzels 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.

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.
