ROSEMARY SKEWERED BABY POTATOES
Recipe VICKI RAVLICH-HORAN | Images ASHLEE DECAIRES A little fiddly but an impressive way to serve new potatoes this BBQ season.

STICKY TOFU & PINEAPPLE LETTUCE CUPS

You’ll find makrut lime leaves and tamarind puree at selected supermarkets or Asian grocers. Makes approx. 8–10 3-4 tbsp coconut or peanut oil […]

Beer Battered Onion Rings
Recipe: Vicki Ravlich-Horan | Images: Ashlee DeCaires I’m a sucker for a good onion ring – battered, definitely not crumbed. The beer in this recipe conveniently means there is half a bottle spare for the cook—although I am not endorsing drinking and frying! You can swap the beer for sparkling water which will give you […]
Mushroom, Onion and Lentil Pie
Recipe & Images: Amber Bremner There’s nothing more comforting than a pie on a cold winter’s day, and making them yourself is ever so satisfying. A crisp, flaky pastry case breathes new life into pantry ingredients, something that’s more welcome now than ever. I used New Way flaky puff pastry, which is vegan, available from […]

You really can go with what is seasonal and available, think Mediterranean when you substitute any ingredients so it stays balanced and […]
Green Olive and Pumpkin Seed Tapenade

This version is vegan, and a little healthier with pumpkin seeds giving a boost of fibre, protein and iron. Serve tapenade in place of pesto, as part of an antipasto platter, on crackers, bread or […]

Recipe & Images: Amber Bremner The fruit of the olive tree can divide a room. Understandable, if sliced pizza olives are the only olives someone has tried. They would be missing out on the huge variety of plump, savoury and, dare I say it, meaty, olives that can add so much to a meal. I’m […]
Pumpkin Dal

Technically dal (also known […]
Roasted Pumpkin with Buckwheat, Yoghurt and Pumpkin Seed + Pickled Chilli Pesto
Recipe and Images: Emma Galloway, My Darling Lemon Thyme You can serve this as a side, but it’s balanced enough to call a meal in its own right too. You’ll find hulled buckwheat at some supermarkets or at health food stores. It’s a great source of plant-based protein and although the name would suggest otherwise, […]
