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 […]
Carrot Salad
A good carrot salad is a cheap and easy dish to make any time of year. This one goes beautifully with lamb koftas or barbequed meat or halloumi. Make it ahead of time, as this salad is great once it has had time for the flavours to soak in. ½ cup raisins ½ cup orange […]
Pickled Carrots
These quick and easy pickled carrots are great. We have served it here on a bao bun with a slice of pork belly. It is also nice on traditional roast meat sammies or on a platter with cheese and cured meats, adding both a pop of colour and texture. 1–2 large carrots ½ cup rice […]
Buckwheat Pancakes with Tamarillo
Buckwheat is a gluten free seed that’s packed with nutrition. I love to incorporate it in our breakfasts, and this simple pancake recipe would have to be one of the easiest ways. Whole buckwheat (referred to as buckwheat groats) is soaked overnight, before being rinsed and blended with a few more ingredients to make pancake […]
Curry Cauliflower Soup
I love making a big batch of soup every weekend and either freezing it in portions or having it for week-day lunches. This curry cauliflower soup will be on repeat this winter in my household! 1 large onion, sliced 1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped 3cm thumb of ginger, finely grated (about 2 tbsp) […]
Carrot Cake Bircher Muesli
Bircher muesli or overnight oats are such an easy way to kickstart a healthier breakfast routine, leaving no excuses for skipping breakfast. Put them in a container or jar and they can even be breakfast on the go. This version includes carrot, apple, sultanas, nuts and seeds, spiced to taste just like carrot cake. Top […]
Satay Roast Cauliflower
I love this satay sauce and often slather it over a whole chicken before roasting, so I knew it would work for cauliflower too. It’s a quick and easy way to make a warming curry-like meal, where you can alter the heat levels to suit by the curry paste you use. This dish is also […]
