Spaghetti and Meatballs
This recipe is an adaptation of Mark Bittman of the NYTimes’ Spaghetti and Drop Meatballs. It’s quite a bit different, since the real conundrum with this recipe is the problem of how to cook the meatballs (baked in oven before dropping into sauce? cooked in the sauce? seared in a pan with the sauce made…

Cauliflower Leek Soup with frizzled leek greens
A great alternative to the traditional potato leek soup this one is keto friendly, vegan, high protein and can be served as an appetiser, or as the main course. Fried leeks can be scattered over the top of the soup to give a crunchy texture and smoky taste. Nutritional yeast gives an amazing cheesy flavour…

Chocolate chip banana muffins
There’s something nostalgic about chocolate chip muffins. Hot out of the oven with a warm glass of milk they really hit a nerve. These can be made with regular milk but I have a weak spot for buttermilk. Be sure to chop your own chocolate- the results are better than using pre-bought chips. Makes 24…

Brain food is so important for little kids: growing their bodies, pathways in their brains, constantly burning energy as they use their brains to learn. It’s almost criminal that food companies are allowed to advertise high fructose breakfast foods to the youngest members of our community. My kids just love this slightly sweet and creamy…

Trout parcels with sage butter and garlic
Trout is a lovely fish and a nice alternative to salmon when you’re craving a meatier, pink fish. This turned out nicely in the oven however overcooking fish is my Achilles heel. Just make sure to not overcook it. I have nightmares of Gordon Ramsay yelling at me “Don’t overcook the fish!” – no idea…

Traybake BiBimBap
You could hardly call this authentic, but there is something about the simplicity of marinated, ginger infused baked veg, thinly sliced beef, and some Kim chi served over a heaping mound of sticky sushi rice. As my first foray into bibimbap, I found the traybake version very easy, and I used the same tray and…

Breakfast Channa Dal
You should never constrain yourself to eating pulses only for dinner or lunch. Channa dal curry is so easy to make for breakfast it’s really quite sad that the average Aussie child doesn’t get a flush of neuron-building Turmeric in the morning as their “breakfast of champions.” The trick with pulses is to salt them…

Fried fish sandwich
I had some great news at work today (despite feeling the Thursday blahs and nursing a horrible headache), so I needed some easy dinner plans. But I also needed a meal that would pick me up: impossible task you say? How about a breaded fish filet, smothered with some zesty mayonnaise, topped with crunchy iceberg…
