Pumpkin & Sage Lasagne
Everyone loves lasagne, but let’s face it, most store bought and even homemade versions are loaded with refined carbohydrates, saturated fat and salt. Don’t despair… I have something very exciting to share with you! Last week I set to creating a low-fat, vegetarian version of this well-loved, traditional Italian dish. The result, a decadent pumpkin & sage lasagne that has few of the nasties listed above and still tastes amazing! You can have your lasagne and eat it too! Pumpkins are currently in season in...

I love to cook and I love to grow my own food, nothing is more satisfying than preparing a meal with fresh ingredients picked straight from the garden. I spent the Easter weekend in a beautiful, untouched part of this country, a place I couldn’t even find on a map! We travelled for an hour through the burbs, then three hours through ever-changing landscapes – rolling mountains, rainforest and grassy plains before finally arriving at our destination, Ewingar. My husband’s gorgeous cousin (and fellow foodie!) lives here with her...
read moreHappy St Patricks Day + Not Guinness Pie
This could quite possibly be the shortest post I’ve ever written! I think I over-committed today… this is becoming a habit! On the Facebook page this morning I promised you all a St Patty’s post with Guinness Pie and staying true to my word I have delivered… The photo’s are not fabulous (I had to shoot in artificial light), but the pie is delish! Serve with lashings of piping hot potato mash and blanched green beans for a vegetarian friendly St Patty’s treat. Please note the title above –...

It’s that time of year again – the day we are supposed to spend big dollars on that special someone to show them just how much we love them – pfft! I am a romantic at heart, but the growing commercial hype of Valentines Day is slowly killing it for me. Why can’t we do something nice for the one we love everyday?… I’m sure there are plenty of you out there that do All gripes aside, I have not yet become a complete Valentines scrooge. This year however I am saving my pennies and cooking for my love...

What a day! I had reserved today for all the things still lingering on my to-do list, but managed to cross off none of them!… My three hour shift at work ended up being a six hour shift (which is actually a good thing) – I then spent an hour during school pick-up helping pack-up, spent the afternoon cleaning my house and cooking popcorn and pikelets for four very hungry little girls, got completely engrossed in a very pleasant conversation with a friend whilst dropping home one of the aforementioned girls, got home late and...

Well it’s taken just over a month, but finally a new post! Christmas is always a hectic time of year for us – travelling, Christmas shopping, family events, loads of cooking and of course eating… We spent a week farm-sitting for my Aunt and Uncle in Rathdowney with no internet access or mobile phone reception – it was bliss but needless to say, when we returned to the real world there were hundreds of emails and other technology reliant tasks needing our attention. I have finally caught up and am back on board and I’m super...
read moreQuinoa Sushi Rolls w/Tahini, Ginger & Wasabi Dressing
I was watching Good Chef Bad Chef this morning and got inspired by a dish Janella cooked with millet in place of rice in sushi rolls. They looked divine, and she suggested a few alternative fillings to rice including quinoa so I thought I would give them a go. You can use any filling you like, and create your own sauces using your favourite flavours. I used a combination of tahini, ginger and wasabi for mine and they were just delish! Great for vegans and they are gluten free. Quinoa Sushi Rolls w/Tahini, Ginger...

Today is the last day of spring and it’s a stinker in Brisbane! The mercury hit 30.6°c at lunch time and it is only just starting to cool down. I hope wherever you are you’re wearing a gorgeous sun hat and have a refreshing, fruity drink in your hand! I am hanging out on the patio taking in the glorious afternoon breeze and enjoying a big glass of icy cold water after a HOT morning in the kitchen. We had loads of rain last week and everything is beautiful and green. With the festive season quickly approaching I have been experimenting...
read moreMeeting Luke Nguyen + Roasted Pumpkin, Baby Beet & Persian Feta Salad
Something amazing happened to me recently! A few months ago, I was shopping in my favourite store Taste – for the love of cooking, daydreaming about how wonderful it would be to work there. Later that night, on a whim I sent an email off to the store owner expressing my passion for food and cooking and requested that next time she had a position available in store to give me a call. She sent me a return email later that night and two weeks later I had an interview! I am now very happily a member of the Taste team, the only downfall...
