The perfect dish to serve as an entrée at your dinner party. The recipe states that at the end […]
AVOCADO AND BROAD BEAN PANZANELLA
Words and images by Amber Bremner This loose interpretation of panzanella (Italian bread salad) is my idea of spring on a plate, though I’d be delighted to eat it any time of year. Toasted cubes of sourdough are tossed with chunks of avocado, podded broad beans, spring onions, salad greens (I used pea tendrils from […]
AVOCADO AND PEANUT SUSHI HAND ROLLS
Words and Images by Amber Bremner Sushi hand rolls (or temaki sushi) are basically a rolled cone of seaweed, wrapped around rice and fillings. Once the rice is made they’re very quick and easy to make (much less faff then making traditional sushi rolls at home), child friendly and a bit of fun. We serve […]
Strawberry, Ginger & Coconut Rice Pudding
Words and images by Emma Galloway I’ve always been a fan of rice pudding, and this creamy dairy-free version is my go-to for comforting decadence. I’ve flavoured the rice with ginger, but if that’s not your thing, simply leave it out and add a splash more vanilla. The strawberry compote can be made up to […]
Carrot Salad
A good carrot salad is a cheap and easy dish to make any time of year. This one goes beautifully with lamb koftas or barbequed meat or halloumi. Make it ahead of time, as this salad is great once it has had time for the flavours to soak in. ½ cup raisins ½ cup orange […]
Pickled Carrots
These quick and easy pickled carrots are great. We have served it here on a bao bun with a slice of pork belly. It is also nice on traditional roast meat sammies or on a platter with cheese and cured meats, adding both a pop of colour and texture. 1–2 large carrots ½ cup rice […]
Buckwheat Pancakes with Tamarillo
Buckwheat is a gluten free seed that’s packed with nutrition. I love to incorporate it in our breakfasts, and this simple pancake recipe would have to be one of the easiest ways. Whole buckwheat (referred to as buckwheat groats) is soaked overnight, before being rinsed and blended with a few more ingredients to make pancake […]
Curry Cauliflower Soup
I love making a big batch of soup every weekend and either freezing it in portions or having it for week-day lunches. This curry cauliflower soup will be on repeat this winter in my household! 1 large onion, sliced 1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped 3cm thumb of ginger, finely grated (about 2 tbsp) […]
Carrot Cake Bircher Muesli
Bircher muesli or overnight oats are such an easy way to kickstart a healthier breakfast routine, leaving no excuses for skipping breakfast. Put them in a container or jar and they can even be breakfast on the go. This version includes carrot, apple, sultanas, nuts and seeds, spiced to taste just like carrot cake. Top […]
Pork And Furikake Wonton Soup
Serves 3–4 This punchy winter broth is both quick and easy to make. The use of Opito Bay Salt Co’s furikake rounds out the Japanese inspired soup and you’ll finish the bowl feeling nourished and warm. For the broth 2 litres of good quality chicken stock/broth ¼ cup miso 5cm thumb ginger, sliced 1 tbsp […]
