Baked Chicken and Mushroom Risotto
Recipe Vicki Ravlich Horan, Images Brydie Thompson 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 […]

Broad Bean, Asparagus and Pomegranate Salad
Recipe Vicki Ravlich Horan, Images Ashlee DeCaires This salad screams spring. Using beautiful asparagus and broad beans, with a pop of tart freshness, not to mention bling factor with the pomegranate, it is perfect with lamb.

Broad Bean, Pea and Ricotta Tagliatelle

We were served this with good old Tip Top Vanilla ice cream, but I rather like a good dollop of créme fraîche. 1 quantity of sweet […]
Apple and Bay Leaf Creams

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 […]
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.
