Is this the easiest cream sauce in the whole world? Absolutely! Just get some double cream, stir in a little salt and you have the perfect accompaniment for this Creamy Chicken and Spinach.
I used to think cucumber was boring UNTIL I had a bumper crop this Summer. After coming up with creative ways to eat cucumber for weeks, I discovered that this humble veg is actually a textural powerhouse. All it needs is some umami and heat to bring it to life like in this Crispy Chilli Cucumber Bowl.
Full disclosure: I crowd sourced the idea for this recipe.
Good things come to those who wait.
I just love love love the combo of goats cheese and olives. It's tangy, It's salty, It's briny. It's a flavour explosion.
My first casual job at university was waitressing at a local Indian restaurant. It taught me two very important life lessons. First, I am hopeless when it comes to waiting tables. And second, that Indian food is delicious.
So full confession, I stole the name of my recipe from my friend Alexx’s brilliant book Low Tox Life. However this actual recipe is all my own doing.
There's something really magical about dusting cooked food in a spice mix just before eating. Not only do you get the beautiful spiced flavours, it also coats the chicken to give a slightly crunchy crust. So good and so little effort!
The first time I made this I just piled everything into a baking dish. Popped it in the oven and set the timer so dinner cooked itself while the boys and I went for a walk to the dam.
I still remember the first time I went to a Thai restaurant. I ordered the chicken and cashew nuts because it sounded intriguing.
OK so if you’re a fan of big flavours and you like a classic Caesar salad you *have* to try this recipe.
Normally satay is a peanut based spicy sauce served alongside grilled meat and veg. It's super delicious but I often miss having a curry sauce. So this version, while not exactly authentic, it does give you spicy pea nutty goodness with loads of sauce!
I may be more than slightly obsessed with tahini. It’s just so delicious.
This salad was inspired by a recipe in the latest Cornersmith book. I just love the idea of chopping iceberg lettuce into wedges and drizzling it with a creamy dressing and topping with a crispy crust.
As much as I love coconut milk based curries, sometimes you just want something different.
How good is a hot pot pie on a Winter night?
Doesn’t a Golden Chicken Pie just sound so heavenly? One of those meals that will become an instant favourite regardless of whether it’s for a Wintery supper by the fire or a Spring time picnic down by the dam.
Recently I rekindled an old love…
If I had to choose a favorite type of dinner, this Harissa Chicken Tray-Bake would be an excellent example.
This is one of those brilliant dinners that you can just pop in the oven and let dinner practically cook itself. The chicken can be marinated in the sauce for up to about 36 hours if you like. But its still delish if you don’t have time.
Please excuse the photo for this dish! It totally doesn’t do it justice.
OK so if you haven’t heard of Za’atar before then a) I’m impressed you’re reading this recipe for Lemon & Za’atar Chicken. And b) you are in for a treat!
Years ago when I was backpacking in Mexico I came home with my bag significantly heavier. No normal souvenirs for this food lover. Instead I packed as many cans of chipotle chillies in adobo sauce as I could fit.
OK I know what you’re going to think when you look at the ingredients list…
