Kale and Corn Fritters
Kale & Corn Fritters I really enjoy eating dark leafy greens. I love the texture, the taste and their versatility. My 16 month daughter (I will call her Potpot here from now on), does not share my passion…yet. I see her carefully pick off shreds of wilted kale from other, more desirable, foods on her […]
Warm roast chicken, lentil and zucchini salad
Warm salad of roast chicken, lentils and zucchini The weather has cooled down. Last week, I had planned on going to the beach Thursday morning with Gracie and some friends but when I went for my early morning surf, a nippy westerly was blowing and the sky was gray, making me opt for a coffee […]
Zucchini, pea and ricotta salata on sourdough with a soft-boiled egg
This is one of my favourite ‘I’m-in-a-bit-of-a-hurry-but-I-want-something-warm-healthy-and-delicious’ meals.

This recipe is a humdinger of a barbie recipe… a touch exotic but not too out there to scare off less adventurous palates. The lamb kofte are flavoured with an intense mixture of spices that are […]
My Vietnam food adventure and a Vietnamese-inspired tofu noodle salad

Corn coriander rainbow salad
Did you know that you can eat corn raw? I remember finding that out only a few years ago when I saw a girl at uni munching her way through a raw corn cob as she kicked back on the grass. What a revelation! I grew up eating corn cobs that went from the bag […]
Superfoods: Do you believe the hype?
Acai berries, Goji berries, wheat grass, chia seeds, pomegranate juice …. There always seems to be a new ‘superfood’ being touted as being the key to better health, longer life, a cure for this and as essential for that! Should you believe the hype? What is a superfood? ‘Superfood’ is not a scientifically defined term. […]
