Satay Roast Cauliflower
I love this satay sauce and often slather it over a whole chicken before roasting, so I knew it would work for cauliflower too. It’s a quick and easy way to make a warming curry-like meal, where you can alter the heat levels to suit by the curry paste you use. This dish is also […]
Cooking Up a Book
They say the best way to eat an elephant is one mouthful at a time. When we embarked on the challenge of creating our latest cookbook it felt like an elephant size task – thankfully the mouthfuls were a lot tastier. The chatter from Nourish fans about a possible cookbook was growing louder, so last […]
A Life Without Onions
Julia Child once said, “It is hard to imagine a civilisation without onions.” As I write this, onions are sprawled over the streets of Pukekohe after approximately 10 tonnes were washed away in the Auckland Anniversary weekend storm. But while you stew in a panic of how you’ll survive if there’s an onion shortage, I’m […]
What We Do with Dukkah
I’ve never been confident in the spelling of dukkah. But I learnt the hard way that if you spell it as ‘dukkha’ in a google search, you will be inundated with information about the Buddhist concept of dukkha, which translates to ‘suffering’, as opposed to the Egyptian spice mix that I’m talking about. The word […]

Fennel Seed Olive Oil Crackers
These crisp crackers make a gorgeous accompaniment to a cheese or antipasto platter. While delicious with a creamy soft cheese like a brie, I am also known to just munch on them as is. 1½ cups flour 1 tsp baking powder 2 tsp fennel seeds 1 tsp salt ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil ⅓ […]

Splurge VS Save
Grocery prices are sky rocketing, onions are sprawled over the streets of Pukekohe, eggs are being rationed – what is happening in this world! We have had to change our ways and become smart shoppers, but there’s always something worth splurging on. I asked the Nourish community where they save their pennies and what they […]
