FRIED LENTILS WITH HARISSA CAULIFLOWER
Recipe and images by Amber Bremner Crispy chickpeas have made many an appearance in my kitchen, but I’d never thought to try the idea with lentils. I was in for a treat and enjoyed these very much with a few meals while experimenting with the idea. I use dry lentils, as they’re the cheapest option […]
LENTIL AND CHIA SEED WRAPS
Recipe and images by Amber Bremner I hesitate to use the word ‘wrap’ to describe these, because they’re not as strong as a gluten flour wrap, but nor are they pancakes, dosa or flatbreads. So we’ll go with wrap. Soaked lentils and chia seeds, spinach and a few flavourings are blended together to make a […]
Mushroom Stroganoff w/ Buttered Rice
Recipe and images by Emma Galloway There’s something super comforting about creamy mushrooms but add buttered rice and you have yourself one seriously cozy dish. I used button mushrooms simply for the convenience, but feel free to mix things up and use a variety if you like! You’ll notice I don’t rinse the rice, with […]
Sushi with Me
Words Vicki Ravlich-Horan, Images Ashlee DeCaires There is something about sushi that pleases even the fussiest eater. Make your own and you can both tailor it to individual tastes as well as save a lot of money. The only fancy equipment you will need is a bamboo mat to help you roll the sushi tightly, […]

BUTTERCUP WITH ROSEMARY, ORANGE + CHILLI
Recipe and images by Amber Bremner A sizzling roasting dish of caramelised wedges of buttercup pumpkin, fragrant with rosemary, orange, and chilli is far more exciting than it has any right to be. The orange helps create sticky, crunchy edges and crispy skin, making for moreish bites that are delicious dipped into a creamy, tangy […]
Beetroot and Carrot Salad with Pomegranate Dressing
Recipes and Images by Emma Galloway My dad grows THE BEST beetroot. Every year without fail he produces huge, tender beetroot of different sizes and colours. I, on the other hand, can only seem to manage to get one specific variety to grow (golden beetroot for those wondering) and all others turn tough and woody, […]
Prawns with Lemon Caper Butter
Words and images Fiona Hugues Nothing screams summer quite like a bright orange prawn, and this recipe is super simple, easy to knock up, and delicious to boot. Just add bread to sop up all the buttery juices. 6–10 large whole prawns, raw, or precooked if you’re short of time 100g butter 2 tbsp capers […]
Caponata
Serve it with pasta, on its own, or as part of a charcuterie board; in Sicily caponata goes with everything. I think breakfast time was the only time we weren’t served this sweet and sour eggplant dish. Every restaurant and nona has their own recipe, resulting in different degrees of sweetness. After asking almost everyone […]
Spiced Paneer + Oyster Mushroom Skewers with Fresh Mint Sauce
Words and images by Emma Galloway Veggie skewers can all too often be a lacklustre combination of vegetables, charred and then served as is. But with a little bit of love, they can be flavour-packed meals in their own right. I’ve given oven and frying pan options for cooking, but they can also be popped […]
