Indian Spiced Salmon with Minty Yoghurt
It’s asparagus season here! And while my baby asparagus patch has some shoots showing, I’m waiting until next year to start harvesting.
Cheesy Tuna & Broccoli Bake
When I was growing up my favourite favourite meal was my Mum’s Tuna Mornay which we called ‘Tuna Dish’.
Plan-B Veggie Burgers
This idea actually came from one of my Joyful Cooking students.
Japanese Steaks with Ginger Miso Mustard
My Irishman has been on a Japanese vibe for his Sunday night cooking adventures. It’s been wonderful to have a reason to expolore the world of Japanese flavours.
Beautiful Broccoli Burgers
It’s funny how ideas come and go. Years ago I created a Zucchini Burger recipe and was super excited about veggie burgers that actually contained vegetables. At the time I was keen to try a broccoli burger.
Spiced Chicken with Ginger Almond Sauce
It’s funny but the older I get, the more I love ginger. I love the freshness I love the warmth. I love how it makes my tastebuds glow.
The Magic Green Sausage Supper
Years ago I created a super easy tray bake with root veg and sausages that I called the ‘Magic’ Sausage Supper.
Flexitarian Pot Pies
How good is a hot pot pie on a Winter night?
Eggplant Steaks with Parmesan Peas
The secret for really lovely eggplant steaks is the same as regular beef steaks. Cut them thickly! Although for the eggplant it’s best to cook on a low-medium heat so the middles get to go all lovely and melting and the outsides avoid over-charring.
Spiced Roast Cauliflower Salad with Labneh
Inspired by the brilliant Mike McEarnehy formerly chef at Kitchen by Mike and now at No1. Bent St Sydney. Love his fresh produce-driven approach to food and am dying to eat at his new restaurant. In the mean time I’m making do with cooking from his book, ‘Kitchen by Mike’.
Best Ever Broccoli Salad
For years this raw broccoli salad with avocado and almond was my favourite. Although it was quite labour intensive to chew. And I was finding that it was getting difficult to digest as well.
Green Chicken Bowls with Pine Nut Mayo
Recently I rekindled an old love…
Baked Fish + Kale Chips
Fish and chips was my favourite favourite meal when I was growing up.
Creamy Mushroom & Spinach Soup
One of the reasons I started my blog was that I’d forgotten how I had made an amazing mushroom soup. So I wanted to record my recipes so it didn’t happen again!
Gorgeous Greens Tart
This is seriously my new favourite thing to make when I’m having a friend over for lunch.
Bloody Delicious Kale Bowls
Don’t be alarmed! This recipe doesn’t actually contain any blood!
Broccoli Hummus with Spicy Sausage
OMG even if you’re not a sausage fan – spicy or otherwise, you have to try this broccoli ‘hummus’. While it’s completely nontraditional, it is soo soo delicious. Use it anywhere you’d normally serve hummus.
Salmon with Spiced Butter & Broccoli
Spiced butters are a super easy way to make an instant flavour packed sauce for meat or fish.
Pesto, Olive & Feta Frittata
The idea to combine these three powerful flavours came from a lunch I had at Highroad – a fave local cafe. They served it in the form of poached eggs with pesto, broccolini and dried olive crumbs.
Comforting Tomatoey Greens
It’s funny the prejudices we can have around food. Like my ‘idea’ that greens and tomatoes don’t go well together. I’m not sure why I had this belief but I’m happy to say it’s all gone!
Hearty Walnut, Kale & Goats Cheese Frittata
I love a good frittata at any time. But this one with walnuts and kale is especially substantial and fab for a meat-free dinner where you won’t be missing the meat (my Irishman didn’t). It’s also good for lunches the next day.
Sichuan Pork & Greens
This is the type of simple meal my Irishman and I love to have for weeknight dinners. It’s simple. It’s packed with flavour and there are loads of veggies and protein.
Roast Pesto Chicken & Broccoli
This recipes has some of my favourite ingredients… broccoli and pesto. And uses one of my favourite simple cooking techniques… the fast roast.
Killer Kale Gratin
I used purple kale in the picture but any kale or leafy green will work.
