ANTIPASTI SALAD
Recipe and image Fiona Hugues Just the word antipasti for me instantly conjures up a bucolic scene of copious glasses of wine on a lazy afternoon with friends, and platters of bountiful tasty wee things to slowly devour. This salad is that very notion but in a bowl, packed full of all the things, and […]
GREEN THINGS & GREBICHE
Recipe and Images by Fiona Hugues Just the word gribiche (pron: gree-beesh) conjures up fancy plates, plucked, peeled and poached green whatnots carefully laid out to be admired by wowed guests. It’s a swanky old French recipe for a saucy combination of basically cold egg and mustard but with posh add-ins like shallots, cornichons and […]
RIDE OR DIE LEMON SALAD
Recipe and image by Fiona Hugues For those who know me or follow me, and even all you sleuths and weirdos who like to stalk me, it’s no surprise that dairy is my desideratum, and I also believe that literally nothing is good without a squeeze of lemon. So with these two ingredients combined, I […]
Cacio e Pepe
Recipe Vicki Ravlich-Horan, Images Brydie Thompson Cacio e Pepe or ‘cheese and pepper’ is a classic Roman pasta dish that dates back centuries. The key to this dish is its simplicity – three ingredients transform into a moreishly addictive pasta. The delicious cheese and pepper combo is one you can enjoy with gnocchi, in a […]

Leek and Fennel Soup with Frizzled Lentils
Words and Images by Emma Galloway Fennel really mellows when cooked, so I amp up the flavour again with toasted fennel seed flavoured lentils to top the soup with. If you can’t be bothered with the lentils (in their defence they add a nice boost of protein to the soup!), make a flavoured oil with […]
WOODLAND SPINACH & MUSHROOM PIE
Recipe and Images by Fiona Hugues There was a French bakery in the big city a couple of decades ago that made great take home pies before imperious Francophiles appeared everywhere and ruined many of our gluttonous French gourmet secrets. Prior to being discovered by the masses, we’d whip into the tiny bakery and buy […]
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 […]
