Red Pepper Pan
This is another quick fry up in one pan. It’s packed with taste and the red peppers even get a nice char on them if you make sure the pan is good and hot when you’re tossing them around the pan. Serve with my recipe for date dip and sourdough bread for an easy dinner…

After School Eggs
This is one of my go-to dishes on the days my teenagers tell me in the morning that they won’t be home to eat lunch after school…and then suddenly they change their plans and both of them are standing in the kitchen, starving and hoping for a really yummy meal…😅 Whack the pan on the…

Miso Beets Salad
This dish probably doesn’t look or sound all that interesting but it’s the simplicity of it which makes it so superb. There are few ingredients which means even more attention needs to be paid when prepping them and especially with the seasoning. In my house this salad serves 1 person for dinner, as a side…

Zucchini Lemon Tagliatelle
We’re not big zucchini fans in my house. I still cook and bake with it but it’s never greeted particularly warmly at the dinner table. Our weekly farmers market had beautiful organic zucchinis on the weekend so I bought two and decided to find a way to incorporate them into a pasta dish which made…

Salted Chocolate-Nut Slice
I like it best when slices like these are slightly salty, hence the name. Everything is easy to make, very little to no prep, you will ideally need a mixer to cut the dates and nuts but alternatively you can do this by hand. I love to have this slice all chopped up and kept…

Smoked Tofu with Pak Choi
I love tofu but I’m never really sure how healthy it is. On the one hand it’s a great meat substitute, on the other hand it is highly processed. In any case I try not to cook with it too often and always go for the organic tofu when I do buy it. This is…

Lazy Scones
My lazy scones are „lazy“ because they don’t need to be rolled, nothing needs to be prepped beforehand, the jam is not jam but marinated fruit and the clotted cream needs nothing done to it except for placing a long handled spoon in it to serve. The oven will should be set very high to…

Mia’s Orange Beef
Mia has been away in Barcelona for the past two weeks and I knew she’d be starving for a good meal when she returned home! I spent awhile thinking about what she might have missed in particular and decided that a good combination of two of her favourite ingredients (oranges and beef fillet) might be…

Beans’s Cheesecake
I‘m not sure my sister remembers this, but I made her mini cheesecakes one year for her birthday celebration with friends and she absolutely loved them. Given my family is great at complementing pretty much anything that any one of us cooks (most likely because of our shared love for food and understanding of the…

School Holiday Brunch
Breakfast/brunch at our house in the school holidays is often well after noon. While the kids are often still keen for breakfast-y type foods, I like to eat something savoury at this time of day and generally try to find a way to find a healthy-ish compromise ☺️. Today‘s meal was simple but yummy and…

Quincy’s Porridge
Quincy is my 18 year old who eats with just as much gusto as anyone else in our family, particularly adores blackberries and loves porridge. I woke this morning to a sweet text from him, sent well after midnight, asking if we could have breakfast together this morning and if it could please be porridge…

Sylt Salad
Tomato mozzarella salad is delicious, don’t get me wrong. Sweet tomatoes, mild mozzarella and fresh basil – it’s a summer classic. And yet, every time I eat it, I feel like it has so much more potential. There are missing elements, almost too much simplicity to it. So on holiday one Easter on the beautiful…
