And here is another recipe that features both – Scallops with a rocket apple and bacon salad. It’s soooo simple to make and amazingly delicious. It really has a bit of everything. […]
French Onion Soup
French Onion Soup is a classic soup for good reason. It is a soup that is full of flavour and packed with winter warmth. Simple to make and comforting to eat it is one that I crave once the weather turns cool. For some reason, I associate french onion soup with the snow. I have […]
Warm Quinoa Cauliflower and Kale Salad
Just last weekend we got back from a week’s holiday. We got in late on the Sunday night. Then Monday was a busy day of getting organised and back into routine. Somehow a trip to the supermarket didn’t quite make it into the days plan. Dinner was looking very bleak depending on what the fridge […]
Quick Ramen
This quick ramen is my ultimate go-to lunch. I love it! I stared making it about eighteen months ago and since then there would rarely be a week when I don’t make a bowl! I regularly find myself looking for something other than a sandwich for lunch when I’m home. I want vegetables, something green […]
Minestrone Soup
Minestrone soup is another dish that brings back many memories of growing up for me. It was one of a handful of soups that we ate on a regular basis through winter each year and was probably my favourite. It could often be found simmering away on the fireplace, ready to eat for dinner or […]

Barbeques and salads make way for bowls of hearty soup and I love experimenting with new flavour combinations. This week I was inspired by some cauliflower and fennel in the fridge. So I thought I would try an […]
Pea and Ham Soup
The smell of a ham hock bubbling away to make a soup stock evokes so many childhood memories for me. Growing up it was the smell of wintertime with hearty soups being a regular dinner in our house. Mum would pop all the stock ingredients into a pot then place it on the wood fire […]
Barramundi with Ginger Broth and Green Veg
I can tell that the weather has cooled lately just by the food I have been cooking and dreaming about. Gone are the salads and stir frys of warmer weather and in have come soups, stews and warming comfort food. There’s nothing better than tucking into a bowl of tasty goodness that warms from the […]
Broccolini Soup
I was out tidying the vegetable garden yesterday after neglecting it for a week. There was an armful of tomatoes, a few zucchini and more broccolini than I could’ve imagined! The broccolini was ready to flower so needed to be picked and used. Given the cooler weather at the moment, a Broccolini Soup seemed the […]
