Lunch in Bondi Beach Sydney. More options to try at home (not to replicate exactly, more to give ideas for flavour combinations). The closest dish in the photo was delicious. Roast new potatoes, sauted red onion and spinach, steamed broccoli florets, chunky tomato relish, pan fried halloumi slices, poached egg with hollandaise and paprika sprinkled […]

Topped with roast pumpkin, two poached eggs, feta, basil leaves and beetroot crisps. It was delicious and very filling.
I recently made a vegetable quiche for dinner using Quinoa flour for the pasty base. The Quinoa flour gave the pastry a sort of nutty flavour which was good. Using Quinoa flour made this pastry gluten and wheat free, and Quinoa is a good source of protein. The filling can easily be made dairy free […]
Here is another quinoa recipe, quite similar to the last one I posted, except this is vegetarian and has a teriyaki flavour. Also being in a rented house the utensils are limited, so I cooked it slightly differently and I think the result is actually better. This quantity fed the two of us with leftovers […]
As promised, a recipe using cooked quinoa. An easy mid week tasty quick dinner. Add sliced chicken breast (allow one per person) to thai red curry paste (enough to cover the chicken well) and marinade chicken for a few hours. Saute chopped pineapple in 1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil. When caramelised, take out of […]
QUINOA – it seems people either love it or hate it !!! Quinoa is quite bland by itself, but actually that makes it an excellent base for other flavours and this is where I love its flexibility. Quinoa is a gluten free, high protein seed. Quinoa contains 9 essential amino acids which the body needs […]
Last time I made my Roast Tomato Sauce I froze a portion and have used it to make this super quick and tasty mid week dinner. Slice some smoked bacon (I used one packet – make sure it is dry cured and preferably organic). Saute the bacon in the pan on its own over a […]
I attended an Ayurvedic cooking class a couple of weeks ago, and will be posting some recipes I learnt over the next while. But to begin, here is a ginger tonic I made, based on what I learnt in the lessons. This is to be taken 1/2 hour before eating. You can take 1/2 to […]
Fermented beverages have been around for centuries. Kombucha, a fermented drink made from tea, is a good aid for healthy digestion as it can help repopulate the gut with healthy bacteria and it is also a good source of B vitamins. I have been making Kombucha for a while now and this is how I […]

Drain and rinse in a colander one can of chickpeas and combine with the grated vegetables. Make […]
