Well hellooooo – here we are three weeks into 2019 and I feel like I’m properly ‘back’ (even though I never really went away…). This recipe is one I put together for Fairfax, so appearing on Stuff, and in newspapers around the country today – and it is bloody delicious if I say so myself! […]
Happy New Yeeeeeeeeear!!!!! Welcome back for 2019, I hope your year has started as well as mine has…(more on that later), first up I thought we would ease into things very gently with something which is barely a recipe at all – simple smoked salmon with feta and ricotta whip. I originally put this together […]
Well, by crikey, do I have a treat for you! In what is bound to be my penultimate post of the year I have collaborated with the lovely people at Breville to create two recipes with a competition to WIN one the fabulous appliances used in their creation. (Two chances to win!) The first recipe […]
each makes 6 Goood morning! It feels like its been a while…today I have some delicious wee tarts for you that are ideally made to share with friends on a sunny Sunday afternoon with a glass or two of wine and a bitter green salad, but they also make a bloody fabulous picnic treat or […]
serves 6 Well by crikey prepare yourselves, I have a veritable extravaganza of recipes for you today! I had some of my dearest friends staying with me for the last four days, in between moving house, so I thought I would take the opportunity of having house guests to round up some of my other […]
serves 6 As you know I have been flat out lately, zooming around like a headless chook working on my magazine contract work as well as flying down to Welly for Hoob’s 21st and, (in case you hadn’t heard) getting stuck into (pun intended) my next book! In between I, like you no doubt, have […]
… & quick chicken & egg salad
serves 2 OK let’s pretend the weather is getting better and try out a springy recipe for the week! This is a quick fish curry with soba noodles (but udon, rice or even egg noodles would work), in an aromatic coconut broth, flavoured with distinctive fragrant lemon grass and a hit of fiery chilli – […]
serves 4-6 Gooooood morning, and I hope you’re having a lovely weekend! I was thinking this could potentially be your perfect snuggy, Sunday night dinner – a smoked fish pie/kedgeree combo that is warming and comforting, with a wee spicy kick tempered by soft mashed spuds and a crunchy, crumbly topping. It is basically just […]
makes 6 Do you believe in serendipity? Lately I have had a weirdly large amount of serendipitous things happen in my life, in terms of coincidences and crazy timing that have pretty much blown me away…nothing overly dramatic or major, just lots of small good things happening in synch. Any waaaay this is a bloody […]
…with a good grunt of garlic & chilli
Serves 4 Hungry? Can I make a suggestion for Sunday morning brunch (or easy dinner even) – eggs baked in a warming, spicy tomato sauce, rich and fragrant with the addition of salty feta and olives. To finish off the turkish toast fingers wrapped in crispy prosciutto made for dipping into the soft yellow yolks […]
serves 2 Good morning all you loved-up l’il couples out there – this is a recipe for you…perfectly cooked (more on that) steak with creamy, addictive cauliflower puree and ‘French-style’ baby carrots. OK, first up the perfectness of the steak is obviously open to debate as some people like theirs still mooing (apologies to the […]
