White bean, asparagus & artichoke salad
Recipe extracted from The Homemade Table: Seasonal Recipes, Preserves and Sourdough by Nicola Galloway This is a spring riff on the ubiquitous bean salad that I make throughout the warmer months. In summer, use red onions and grilled red capsicum instead of asparagus and artichokes. Serves 4 as a side 400g can cannellini beans […]
Baked Kumara with Crunchy Chickpeas and Parsley Pesto
Recipes and Images Amber Bremner Baked low and slow, crunchy chickpeas are one of my go-to components for fast one-bowl meals, salad toppers, snacks or packed lunches. It’s a great idea to double the batch to use across a few meals – once cool they store well in a jar for a week or so […]

Broad Bean, Pea and Ricotta Tagliatelle
Recipe Vicki Ravlich-Horan, Images Ashlee Decaires This is quick, fresh pasta which makes the perfect midweek meat free meal. If you still have a few members of the household that need meat with every meal, serve it with a crispy piece of prosciutto crumbled on top. Wonderful in spring, but equally you could make this […]
Jackfruit and Lentil Kedgeree
Recipe and Images Amber Bremner Popular in many parts of Asia, unripe jackfruit has a fibrous texture that lends itself well to curry and even plant-based twists on ‘pulled pork’. Here I’ve used unripe, canned jackfruit, marinated and baked to create tender, moist, slightly oily chunks of jackfruit with a sharp, salty and pleasingly smoky […]
Petit Roasted Beets with Herby Crème Fraîche
This bright, earthy concoction isn’t particularly historically French but it’s definitely posh. I like it at this time of year as it’s great as a simple seasonal dish on its own with a sliced baguette or as a side to a main meal. It looks fabulously frivolous on a winter table and the sweet roasted […]

Serve with your favourite side salad, roast veggies, or with a slow cooked tomato sauce. 8–10 large portobello mushrooms, stalks removed 125g round of brie, roughly chopped 3 cups loosely packed fresh sourdough […]

Creamy Kohlrabi Soup
Recipe and Images by Emma Galloway My love for kohlrabi runs deep. While sadly still not the most well known of vegetables, I was lucky enough to grow up eating homegrown kohlrabi as my parents had an extensive veggie garden. If you’re someone who fights over the broccoli stalk (me!), then you’ll love kohlrabi’s crunchy […]
Onion Bhaji Burger
Recipe Harriet Boucher, Images Brydie Thompson Onion Bhaji and Smashed Avo Burger with Tamarind Chutney This is my take on a vegan burger. Jenny’s Tamarind Chutney has been a family favourite in my house for as long as I can remember, so it was a must in this recipe! If you’re craving a bit of […]
