Cauliflower Nuggets
If you’ve been looking for a way to get the kids to eat cauliflower, this is it. These cauliflower nuggets are easy to whip up and go with almost any dipping sauce you can imagine. If serving as a canapé for adults, try a blue cheese sauce or a herby mayo. 450–500g of cauliflower vegetable […]
Chocolate and Orange Bread and Butter Pudding
Bread and butter puddings have turned rather fancy of late. While rich brioche or croissants do make a delicious pud, there is something to be said for the simplicity of the pudding’s origins and using and inexpensive loaf of white bread, especially for a simple weeknight pudding that screams comfort food. 25g butter, softened 8–10 […]
Marinated Green Beans

Serves 4 400g green beans, trimmed, left whole or sliced 1 shallot, finely chopped 2 spring onions, trimmed and finely sliced 1 green chilli, deseeded and finely […]
Cucumber Salad
Recipes and Images Kathy Paterson Refreshing with a punchy hit from the shallots. The dressing is quite thin so use some crusty bread to mop up all the juices. Serves 4 Dressing ½ cup kefir yoghurt (I used Raglan Food Co natural kefir yoghurt smoothie) 1 tbsp sherry vinegar, or use your favourite white or […]
Cherry Tomato Salad
Recipe and Images Kathy Paterson A bright and cheerful salad, without the need for olive oil (in my view!). For added flavour and substance, add in some thin slices of cured meat. Pancetta is truly delicious – pan-fry slices until dark golden and crisp then crumble a little before adding to the salad at the […]
Chicken Picata
Don’t Be Chicken Have you ever looked at the price of two chicken breasts and compared these to the price of a whole chicken? More often than not the price is very similar but just think, when you buy a whole bird, you get the two breasts and more. In these times it pays to […]
Salsa Verde Lamb Chops
Recipe Harriet Boucher, Images Ashlee DeCaires The girls in my family love crumbed lamb chops; Dad not so much. They were often on the menu on his Tuesday bike nights. I’ve stepped them up a level by marinating them in salsa verde to add the extra zing we all need in winter. Ingredients ½ cup […]
Fay’s Best Ever Seafood Pie
Recipes Fay and Wayne Good, Images Ashlee DeCaires When I was young, this recipe was quite an ordinary, yet delicious dish. I’m talking 50 years ago, when getting a whole smoked snapper at the fish shop was like buying a packet of sausages now, readily available and cheap. As the years have gone on, this […]
Apple and Bay Leaf Creams
Recipes and Images By Amber Bremner These layered desserts are fragrant with the heady scent of bay leaves, typically used in savoury dishes for their subtle peppery warmth. They also pair beautifully with apple and lemon, adding a little complexity to this otherwise quite simple recipe. Get your hands on some fresh bay leaves, if […]
Pumpkin + Kimchi Fried Rice
Recipes and Images by Emma Galloway I’ve used butternut pumpkin here, but any flavoursome pumpkin will do. Do your best to dice it as finely as you can to ensure quick cooking. If vegetarian or vegan, ensure your kimchi is free of fish-sauce. For added protein, serve topped with a fried egg or tofu. This […]
