Coriander Stalks
Lots of recipes call for chopped coriander leaves, but did you know that the stalks are great in soups and sauces if you add them a bit earlier? I buy big bunches of coriander from the Asian supermarket and then chop the stalks and pop them into a freezer bag. I leave them flat in the freezer overnight, and then you can just treat them in the same way as you would say, spinach. I add them to soups and sauces for a rich rounded taste not too long from the end of cooking straight from the...
Nutty Dog Biscuits
These are nutty flavoured biscuits, or biscuits for your nutty dog - the choice is yours! The recipe was kindly given to my by my friend Julee who is a former chef, turned Prison Officer via owning a market stall selling doggie goods. She used to bake up massive batches of these biscuits in different varieties. These biscuits are gluten free as she found that customers were increasingly asking for gluten free options, she made hers with rice flour, but coconut flour is easier for me to...
Lamb Koftas
These are so easy to make, the weather was pants (as usual) when I made mine so I cooked them in the oven, but they are great cooked on skewers on the barbeque. Makes about 15 small or 5 large koftas Ingredients 500g minced lamb Small onion grated 2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander Pinch salt and pepper (to taste) Instructions Grate the onion, I know it’s a messy smelly job but it is really worth doing Mix all ingredients together and shape Yes that’s it!!!! Either cook in...
February 2018 – shop local
February has been my first full month at home this year, after being lucky enough to have an amazing break over Christmas and New Year in Australia and New Zealand. The builders have pretty much gone, and the extensions almost finished, although work is due to start on the kitchen soon (not looking forward to all that dust again) I’m disappointed with how much I’ve spent in the chain supermarkets this month, and I think it is a combination of needing to buy ingredients for some recipe testing...
Butternut Squash Risotto
I read about Ella Mills journey through illness and self-healing through food and it resonated with me so much that I bought her first cookbook Deliciously Ella when it was published in January 2015, I then bought a copy for my sister, my niece and a friend as I enjoyed it so much. I think it probably sparked my journey to where I am today; teaching others about the importance of good nutrition and health. One of my earliest favourites, and a recipe I return to time and time again,...
Super Easy Crab Linguine
This is a no-chop sauce, and I urge everyone to give it a try. It cooks in the same time as your pasta, that means you can get a tasty dinner on the table in less than ten minutes
Veg Pulp Patties
I hate waste so when I bought a juicer and realised how much was in the pulp bin I had to find a way of using it up. I've called them patties, as I originally wanted to make a ball (reminiscent of a meat ball) but you need a flat surface in order to get a nice fried crust. They are great as vegan burgers if you make them into bigger patties. The taste of your pattie will be different every time you make these, unless you have the same juice every day, as it will depend on the mix of fruit...
