Lamb Shoulder Chops with Warming Spices

Recipe and Images by Kathy Paterson A popular one-pot dish – add a dish of steamed broccoli and to extend serve with grilled roti. It’s now a good time to clean out that spice drawer! Fresh spices add so much flavour to the dish. Serves 4 1 tsp black or brown mustard seeds 1 […]
Black Rice Pudding w/ Hibiscus-poached Pears + Salted Coconut Cream

Recipe and Images by Emma Galloway Black rice pudding has long been a favourite of mine, and while it’s usually served with mango or other tropical fruit as it’s eaten throughout South East Asia, it also pairs beautifully with rosy hibiscus-poached pears. The salted coconut cream brings it all together. You can find black rice […]
Curry Pot Roast Chicken

Recipes by Vicki Ravlich-Horan, Images by Ashlee DeCaires This recipe uses a store-bought curry paste. I’m not sure about you, but I don’t have time on a Tuesday night to make a curry paste from scratch! I’ve used a red curry paste for this, but it works just as well with green or yellow curry […]
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 […]
Chicken Liver Pâté

Recipe and Images by Kathy Paterson I’m stoked to see a resurgence of this classic French dish with its silky smooth texture in cafes and restaurants. Pâté is simple to make at home, it’s full of flavour and best of all, the chicken livers are nutrient dense. If you can’t buy fresh then buy […]
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 […]
APPLE OF MY EYE PIE
Recipe and Images by Fiona Hugues There’s something nurturing and comforting about a decadent, sweet and fragrant warm apple pie that makes it the delight of one’s life.

Herb and Ricotta Chicken

Recipes by Vicki Ravlich-Horan, Images by Ashlee DeCaires The game changer with this roast chook is that the ‘stuffing’ is not in its cavity but under the skin, creating a beautifully moist and flavourful bird. 1.5kg free-range chicken 250g ricotta (I love the Zany Zeus one available from Vetro) 1 garlic clove, crushed handful of […]
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, […]
