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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
STUFFED BUTTERCUP PUMPKIN
Recipe and images by Amber Bremner Stuffed vegetables may not be at the cutting edge of modern cuisine, but I still love them for their homely vibes and let’s face it, they make a stunning centrepiece when you feel like making an effort. This buttercup is stuffed with a tasty mixture of wild rice, chunks […]
Pesto alla Trapanese
Words Vicki Ravlich-Horan, Images Brydie Thompson This traditional dish from the Trapani region in Sicily is one we learnt to make on our Taste of Sicily 2023 tour. Taught in an old monastery in the stunning hill top town of Erice, we learnt not only how to make this dish, including hand rolling the pasta, […]
KIWI BANH MI
Words and image Amber Bremner A Vietnamese banh mi on the side of the road in Hanoi will win your heart. A DIY banh mi made at home won’t be exactly the same without the ethereally light yet crisp Vietnamese bread, but trust me when I say you can still pack a bright and tasty […]
VEGAN MUFFULETTA
Words and images Amber Bremner A muffuletta is an Italian sandwich invented in New Orleans, typically layering meats, cheese, and olives inside a loaf of great bread. Here I’ve assembled layers of tasty plant-based antipasti inside a loaf of sourdough. Everything is done the day before, so the loaf can chill (and set somewhat) overnight […]
Tofu, Shiitake + Rice Cake Skewers with Gochujang 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 […]
Panelle
Words Vicki Ravlich-Horan, Images Ashlee Decaires I recently returned from our Taste of Sicily tour (2023) where we enjoyed such amazing food. Many of the dishes that stood out were ridiculously simple, and panelle was a great example of this. We enjoyed it freshly fried standing in the bustling market of Palermo as well as […]
AVOCADO AND PEANUT SUSHI HAND ROLLS
Words and Images by Amber Bremner Sushi hand rolls (or temaki sushi) are basically a rolled cone of seaweed, wrapped around rice and fillings. Once the rice is made they’re very quick and easy to make (much less faff then making traditional sushi rolls at home), child friendly and a bit of fun. We serve […]
