It's an established fact that I'm just a bit obsessed with brunch. It's also well documented that I'm a mushroom pusher from way back. And from the photos on this post I've quite possibly revealed how the story ends before it's even started... But if you skip the awards show and head straight to the party you'll miss the best ideas ever on how to get your daily Vitamin D, and that would be such a shame. So lets talk for a moment about Vitamin D, ok? Great. The mighty D is a vitamin … [Read more...]
Mushroom Falafel
From the moment I knew I'd be bringing you another recipe as part of the Australian Mushroom Growers Summer Mushrooms campaign I had a plan to make mushroom falafel. Light, nourishing bites with a mushroom and smokey paprika umami hit. Creamy lemon tahini sauce. Crunchy iceberg lettuce and spicy radishes. Fresh enough for those still in holiday recovery mode, rich enough to satiate a craving for a proper meal, fast. Perfect simple summer eating if I do say so myself. But other … [Read more...]
Quick-Pickle Marinated Mushrooms
Ah summer, a time of relaxation and recharge, of taking it easy and.... *insert movie-esque sound of screeching brakes* Ok, let's try that again. Ah summer, a time that should be all about relaxation and recharge but it seems life pays little attention to the seasons or the temperature or the shade of blue blanketing the sky, and simply keeps heaping on the demands. Summer, at least here in Australia, is nearly more manic than the rest of the year. While we should be swapping indoor … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: November 2014
It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — as seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order. As always I’m linking up with Celia for IMK. ------ Kitchen Shenanigans Keeping myself amused with stripy kitchen string while brownies cool enough for their Christmas shoot... ------ All the green things from the crisper (parsley/coriander/mint/kale/rocket/spinach), end of the road … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: July 2014
It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — as seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order. As always I’m linking up with Celia for IMK. ------ Kitchen shenanigans I styled a photo simply to rant, this should not surprise you too much. If you want the full story it's here on the original IG post, the important take out points are as follows: a cup of f-off weighs about 7 ounces and oh … [Read more...]
Magical Creamy Mushroom & Kale Soup
Another one to work my way through the archives. Made and shot in July last year to go with the Gluten Free Quinoa Cornbread, then promptly filed away -- until now. It is after all getting cooler again in Sydney and that can mean only one thing, soup season has arrived. I did originally have this post titled Magical Mushroom Soup -- now wouldn't that be a tease of a thing to do? Of course it is the soup that is magical rather than magical mushrooms (ahem) being used for soup. Apologies to … [Read more...]
Mushroom & Quinoa Vegan Meatballs with a Rustic Pasta Sauce – and where would you rather be?
There aren't many things better than a big pot of meatballs and sauce to feed a crowd. Prepared in advance and called on as needed they are at once terribly simply and extraordinarily versatile. Growing up, meatballs and stuffed shells were our standard Thanksgiving Eve meal. A simmering pot was ready and waiting for family who rolled into Philly at all hours of the day and evening, and anything remaining came out to sit alongside the Thanksgiving leftovers for Friday lunch. My mother … [Read more...]
