Remember when I made those Key Lime Ombre Popsicles? Well it turns out I had more popsicle liquid than patience to make more popsicles -- and in a flash of genius I figured that the combinations would make pretty good sorbets. What I didn't count on was that when frozen, whipped and swirled the texture and flavour of the resulting frozen concoction was the stuff childhood memories are made of. You see we didn't often have ice cream in the freezer growing up but I have a very … [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...]
Summer Salad #2 – Peppers, Peaches, Cucumber & Fennel with Passionfruit, Chilli & Lime Dressing
If the first few days of 2015 are any indication of how the year will progress the next 12 months are so far looking glittery and warm -- filled with equal quantities of vegetables and ice cream, underscored by full on work and much needed play, but a bit hangry and punctuated by laughable (as in I'd laugh if I weren't so hangry) service. On New Years Eve, roughly a half hour before midnight, we landed the best last minute fireworks viewing spot we've had in years. Nothing in front of us … [Read more...]
Watermelon & Roasted Strawberry Popsicles
Another year has come and gone, and once again the speed with which it has passed left me nearly speechless. I probably should have made this into a wrap up post of some kind, a reflection on the year with a positive quote about goals and the future... but while 2014 has been a year of fabulous success and learning and excitement it's also been one of struggle and fear and big decisions and I really don't feel like recounting any of it at the moment! What I do feel like however is … [Read more...]
Maple Orange Spice Macadamia Nuts
There is only one word to describe these spice-coated macadamia nuts -- addictive. Addictive as in keep tasting them just to make sure they're ok, and make twice what you need, and you better stop now lest you have none to give away addictive. They are crunchy and fragrant and stunningly easy to make -- as a matter of fact the hardest part of the whole recipe is waiting for them to cool before eating. These orange spiced macadamias are the second gift I included in my foodie … [Read more...]
Holiday Mixed Spice
WARNING: this spice blend is like Christmas fairy-dust in a jar. Seriously. Well, it is if warm spices make you think of gingerbread and mulled wine and tree decorating all other sorts of holiday festivities... On the other hand, if warm spices make you think of drinking a cocktail while sitting on a tropical island then please revise aforementioned warning to apply to your own happy spice memory. Either way, everybody wins. Working on the assumption that everyone has a happy … [Read more...]
Macadamia & Coconut Choc-Cherry Truffle Bites
Truffle bite? What's a truffle bite? Things are truffles or bites, right? And truffles are rarely more than a bite anyway so calling something a truffle bite is like calling a cat a kitty cat or saying something is an end result or even better (worse?) declaring that you're going to an ATM machine. I'll wait while you google what ATM stands for, swear to never again use the phrase "mix together", and re-evaluate the sheer scale of redundancies in everyday life... Ok, so maybe a truffle … [Read more...]
