ANZAC biscuits

I make these biscuits for my friends and family every ANZAC day. They are my way of paying tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the country I live in.

Mild Vegetable & Lentil Curry

I came up with this recipe when I was preparing for a cyclone (I'm not even kidding!). I needed to come up with something that would use up all my vegetables in case the power went out.

Slow Cooked Smokey BBQ Kangaroo

If you are not from Australia, you may not know that Kangaroos are so plentiful in the wild these days that they are actually culled each year in order to control the population, which means we are then left with a rather large supply of Kangaroo meat

Spiced Pumpkin Soup

One of my good friends is Italian, and his lovely Mama, like any good Italian mother, always gifts him with food and plants when he visits or when she comes to town. It's become a bit of a thing lately that she is now also including me in the tradition, and most recently I scored some gorgeous potted succulents, and 2 weeks ago, half a pumpkin from Uncle Silvini's farm!

Spiced Pickled Beetroot

When I was at home in NSW recently, my mum served up some of her homemade pickled beetroot, featuring beetroot grown in her garden. It was so delicious, sweet and sour and so moreish, I knew I had to try it.

Easy Banana Bread

Bircher breakie bowl

This recipe is so easy and is best made the night before so that the oats have time to soften and the chia seeds can absorb the liquid to form a yummy smooth texture and bind the whole mix together.

Choc fudge oat brownie

I have been thinking lately about the fact that I always seem to be dieting, which just makes me feel depressed and deprived.. and suddenly I realised that I should probably just focus on eating healthy instead of counting calories. I've been needing some sort of healthy snack to get me through the afternoons.

This slice is perfect as a lunch box snack or an after-school treat.

Quinoa porridge with Chia & LSA

As someone who is gluten intolerant, but an avid lover of comfort food, quinoa porridge has been my absolute saviour. Now, the word 'Superfood' gets thrown around as much these days as the word 'influential' gets thrown around in the music industry. But seriously, this food really is super! It's protein rich and contains all nine essential amino acids, it's high in fibre (contains almost twice as much as other high-fibre foods), and also contains iron, magnesium and other healthy stuff. It's a no-brainer, really..

Yoghurt & Olive Oil Cake

Whenever I tell my friends about this cake, they cringe when I say olive oil, as it's not something that many Australians would consider putting in a sweet. I think they are imagining the cake to be heavy and savoury. But it's quite the contrary and every time I make it I win more people over!

Chunky Minestrone Soup

This is an old favourite of mine that I always come back to, especially when the weather cools down. It pretty much cooks itself, it's that easy. It's handy to get rid of all the left over vegies at the end of their use by date in your fridge. When I make minestrone I just chuck in what I have at the time - you don't have to use these exact vegies but the below is the combo I think gives the best flavour.
