I made this very tasty Shepherds Pie with Lentils as the base instead of the usual minced Lamb. I also mashed my Potatoes with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and some unsweetened Almond Milk, making this dish suitable for Vegans. Potatoes mashed with Extra Virgin Olive Oil are delicious, and to be honest I would […]
We eat grilled Organic Salmon quite a lot, so I often do a bit extra to use up in other dishes. This Frittata was made using left over grilled Salmon and some Tenderstem Broccoli. It is lovely lunch or light dinner served with a lovely green salad. Or if like me you like a savoury […]
A couple of weeks ago I made a salad of Black Rice and Quinoa to go with my Taco meal. When cooking the Black Rice and Quinoa, I cooked extra and put it in the freezer, so I would have an easy base for another meal when I needed to make something up quickly. I […]
I was watching a TV cooking competition and one of the contestants made Hungarian Goulash. I used to make this quite a lot but have not made it for years. After watching the TV show, I really got a craving for the taste of it, so decided to make it last week when the weather […]

This dish is very versatile as at each stage you have a new dish to use in different ways. After step one, you have a lovely warm or cold salad to go with other things. After step two, you have a lovely flavoursome stew to serve with rice, quinoa, potato or pasta. Both these dishes […]
Silverbeet (Swiss Chard) is about the only thing still going strong in the vegetable garden at the moment, so I was looking for inspiration to use it in a recipe. Then I remembered the Black Venus Fried Rice that Maggie Lynch made in her cooking class which I attended recently (see previous post). So I […]
