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 […]
Fay’s Best Ever Seafood Pie

Recipes Fay and Wayne Good, Images Ashlee DeCaires When I was young, this recipe was quite an ordinary, yet delicious dish. I’m talking 50 years ago, when getting a whole smoked snapper at the fish shop was like buying a packet of sausages now, readily available and cheap. As the years have gone on, this […]
Flavourbomb Miso Soup

Words Vicki Ravlich-Horan Flavourbomb by Belinda MacDonald landed on my desk at an opportune time. Back at work after a festive season of overindulging I was, like many, contemplating those new year resolutions. You might recognise Belinda, she won My Kitchen Rules in 2017 and pops up regularly on the food scene from bone broth […]
What I Do With Miso

Words Harriet Boucher Miso is one of those ingredients that you buy for a recipe that you desperately want to try, make it once, and then the jar sits in the fridge staring at you, wanting you to whip it out again for its next culinary use. We spoke to some local chefs for inspiration […]
Rhubarb and Caramel Meringue Flan

Rhubarb is definitely not one of my favourite things, especially stewed with apple … gag! However, teamed in a good pastry with the caramel and meringue, it’s delicious. We were served this with good old Tip Top Vanilla ice cream, but I rather like a good dollop of créme fraîche. 1 quantity of sweet […]
Life’s a Brunch

Recipes and images by Fiona Hugues How I do love to attend a brunch soiree, as it leaves the rest of the day to do great things, undoubtedly fuelled by drinking bubbles at breakfast time. Hosting an early gathering is, however, the cause of much anxiety and heart palpitations among most, and there’s a few […]
Apple and Bay Leaf Creams

Recipes and Images By Amber Bremner These layered desserts are fragrant with the heady scent of bay leaves, typically used in savoury dishes for their subtle peppery warmth. They also pair beautifully with apple and lemon, adding a little complexity to this otherwise quite simple recipe. Get your hands on some fresh bay leaves, if […]
Apple, Fennel and Celery Salad

Recipes and Images by Amber Bremner Crunchy, sweet and tangy, with gentle warmth, this salad is a crowd pleaser. Use sweet, crisp apples like Pacific Rose or Pink Lady. Aleppo pepper flakes (available from Vetro) are mild with a little bright fruitiness that matches perfectly here. I recommend seeking them out (they’re excellent sprinkled over […]
Pumpkin + Jackfruit Yellow Curry

Recipe and Images By Emma Galloway I know people get nervous making Thai curries from scratch as the ingredient list can look a little daunting; however, it is a really straightforward process. You can also make the curry paste well in advance, as it stores in the fridge for up to 4 days, or double […]
Pumpkin + Kimchi Fried Rice

Recipes and Images by Emma Galloway I’ve used butternut pumpkin here, but any flavoursome pumpkin will do. Do your best to dice it as finely as you can to ensure quick cooking. If vegetarian or vegan, ensure your kimchi is free of fish-sauce. For added protein, serve topped with a fried egg or tofu. This […]
