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 […]
Flavourbomb Miso Soup
Words Vicki Ravlich-Horan Flavourbomb by Belinda MacDonald landed on my desk at an opportune time.

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 […]

SAVOURY CORN PANCAKES
Loosely inspired by Indian dosa, these gluten free savoury pancakes filled with chaat masala potatoes and a quick, fresh chutney work for brunch, lunch or a light dinner.
