Shaved Cabbage, Fennel and Apple Salad with Hazelnuts
Recipe by Vicki Ravlich-Horan, Images by Ashlee DeCaires There is a difference between finely sliced and shaved cabbage. Trust me, I have tried to emulate the shaved cabbage served with the donburi I enjoy at my local Japanese restaurant without using a mandolin and the fact is it’s not the same. Something happens when your […]
TURMERIC & BLACK PEPPER NOODLES
Recipe & Images by Amber Bremner This simple noodle dish is inspired by the flavours of Vietnamese chả cá lã vọng, a traditional Hanoi fish dish that features turmeric, black pepper, garlic and dill. I actually couldn’t find dill anywhere, so used coriander instead and the result is a delicious, fragrant, vibrant yellow bowl of […]
TURMERIC, CHOCOLATE & PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
Recipe and images by Amber Bremner These wholesome cookies rely on peanut butter, which gives them great flavour as well as a wee protein boost. Use your preference of smooth or crunchy (or smoochy, which is somewhere in between). Crunchy will leave small bits of peanut throughout the cookie, which is rather nice. Mildly spiced […]
Flatten Your Curve
Words Janine Tait For most of my career, I’ve been devoted to the world of skin health. I trained as a beauty therapist, then later as a nutritionist when I realised that I couldn’t truly transform skin by treating it from the outside alone. I needed to understand what was happening on the inside, too. […]
TEMPEH BALLS
Recipe and Image Amber Bremner These tempeh balls are a fantastic high protein stand-in for traditional meatballs, inspired by the classic flavours of Italian pork sausage. I serve these with spaghetti and marinara sauce as a familiar family-friendly meal that keeps everyone happy. They are delicious shallow fried but can be oven-baked for a healthier […]
Simply Veg – CHOCOLATE AND KŪMARA BROWNIE
Words Megan Lyon, Images Amber Bremner I was at an event a few years back and a colleague’s contribution was a vintage jar loaded with crisp and delicious seedy crackers. This five-seed recipe by Amber Bremner has been a constant of mine ever since and a go-to for taking a plate, being gluten free, vegan […]
Make the Dish- Dumpling House Special Sweet and Sour Eggplant
Words and images Vicki Ravlich-Horan A few years ago I was introduced to Dumpling House CBD Express on Bryce Street, or perhaps more specifically to a couple of their dishes I would never have ordered had I not got the inside word. Known, as their name would suggest, for their homemade dumplings, I would argue […]
Hazelnut + Dark Chocolate Slice
Recipe and image by Emma Galloway I’ve been making versions of this slice for years, an adaptation from a recipe in my latest cook book, Every Day. Essentially it’s made up of a bliss ball mixture, which gets pressed into a tin and topped with a lush dairy-free chocolate ganache and chopped nuts. This hazelnut […]
APPLE CIDER BRAISED PORK SHOULDER with WHOLE ROASTED APPLES
Recipe and images by Fiona Hugues According to American folklore, Johnny Appleseed was a likeable chap who swanned about the Wild West planting trees and giving away apple seeds so gullible recipients could plant them and create orchards not full of sweet apples perfect for pies or eating fresh from the tree, but instead the […]
FREEKEH SALAD WITH ROASTED TOMATOES AND CHIMICHURRI
Recipe and images by Amber Bremner Freekeh is green wheat, harvested while the grains are soft and then sun dried. The chaff is burned off, leaving behind slightly smoky, roasted wheat. I love its chewy, substantial texture in salads – similar to using bulghur wheat but heartier. For this salad I’ve tossed it with luscious […]
