TEMPEH BALLS
Recipe and Image Amber Bremner These tempeh balls are a fantastic high protein stand-in for traditional meatballs, inspired by the classic flavours of Italian pork sausage. I serve these with spaghetti and marinara sauce as a familiar family-friendly meal that keeps everyone happy. They are delicious shallow fried but can be oven-baked for a healthier […]
Make the Dish- Dumpling House Special Sweet and Sour Eggplant
Words and images Vicki Ravlich-Horan A few years ago I was introduced to Dumpling House CBD Express on Bryce Street, or perhaps more specifically to a couple of their dishes I would never have ordered had I not got the inside word. Known, as their name would suggest, for their homemade dumplings, I would argue […]
ZUCCHINI & CUCUMBER PICKLE
Falling for Autumn Recipes Brad King, Images Brydie Thompson Autumn is always a time of abundance, be it the wonderful in season fruit or your bursting vegetable garden. Falls Retreat know this only too well with their massive garden that not only provides super fresh picking for the plates that come out of the kitchen […]
SALMOREJO: CHILLED TOMATO SOUP
Recipes and images by Amber Bremner Salmorejo is a quick and easy chilled Spanish soup that captures the essence of summer tomatoes straight off the vine. Burstingly ripe tomatoes are blended with stale, good quality bread (I use home-made sourdough), a generous pour of olive oil, and the simple flavours of garlic, salt, pepper and […]
STRAWBERRY, ALMOND AND CARDAMOM CAKES
Recipe and images Amber Bremner These adorable little cakes are light, moist, and fragrant with the scent of both strawberries and ground cardamom – a match made in heaven. They are quick to make and while fresh is always best, they’re an excellent way to use up the last few strawberries in the bottom of […]
ROASTED BLACK PEPPER STRAWBERRIES WITH BOOZY TOFU CREAM AND AQUAFABA MERINGUE
Recipe and Image by Amber Bremner This fully plant-based dessert is a little bit special. While appearing very simple, the flavours are a fantastic combination and lift the bar on what vegan dessert can be. Black pepper significantly intensifies the natural sweetness of roasted strawberries and adds some peppery warmth, and I’ve served the luscious […]
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 […]
