Necessity is the mother of invention and this pesto is the result of a last ditch rescue mission in my crisper. There are a few of those happening lately. A Spaghetti Squash - more on that later - purchased from the same stand as those tomatillos, steamed up. A couple of frozen mackerel filets, pan fried. And the pesto, blended together in the blink of an eye. Fridge surprise lunch at its best. Rocket, Parsley & Pepita Pesto Rather than letting yet another couple bunches … [Read more...]
Gluten Free Quinoa Cornbread
I've been a touch quiet 'round internet-land these past few weeks but there's been lots happening in the background... A few Dining Out posts, a few events, and a whole lot of design / editing / food photography for a new extremely fast turn around project has meant that this is not only the first recipe post in two weeks but the first thing I've cooked and photographed for my own purposes since those Almond Croissant Makeover treats. Phew. Of course that meant I not only tackled one … [Read more...]
Bloom. The Healthy Food Co – Mosman, Sydney
The Mosman cafe scene has exploded over the past few months, and it's about time. The local options simply weren't up to scratch - other than one regular haunt for (fabulous) corn fritters - and as a result we were always heading over the bridge for brunch. So you can imagine my delight when, during a morning walk earlier this week, RJ looked up just in time to spot the newly opened Bloom cafe by The Healthy Food Co. We paused just long enough to scan the menu, finding no less than 10 … [Read more...]
Something for Jess – Chippendale, Sydney
You'd be forgiven for thinking that Something for Jess has been a fixture in Chippendale for much longer than the few months it's been open. The casual vibe, attentive service and creative flavour combinations tick along effortlessly - inviting you to stay and have a relaxed meal or feel free to rush off, take-away sandwich and coffee in hand, as the ancient cash register tallies up your total. The salvaged furniture, chalkboard menus and mismatched crockery scream hipster, but are in … [Read more...]
Quinoa Fried Rice
A twist on a classic, a fridge surprise, leftover magic... Call it what you will this creation is one of my favourite ways to use quinoa. Truth be told it's one of my favourite ways to use pretty much anything. Clearing out the crisper has been quite a trend round these parts lately and it's bound to continue. The good thing about re-inventing leftovers is that they cease to be tired and simply become an entirely new meal. How terribly convenient. Tell me, what is your top tip to … [Read more...]
White Winter Soup
The good news is I don't have pleurisy. While the thought lives just fine on it's own as a daily positive affirmation statement it may be best if explain a bit further... First some background, I am not a fan of doctors [sorry doctors], hospitals freak me out and I am not one prone to hypochondria. The last time I was in a hospital was 11-ish years ago and in general I am one of those people who will soak gushing kitchen injuries in salt water and bandage with a tight band-aid before ever … [Read more...]
Spicy Passionfruit, Coconut & Prawn Lettuce Wraps
A tangy, sweet, spicy, crunchy explosion of flavor and texture. A dose of summer in the middle of winter. A slightly unexpected combination that turned out simply perfect... Can you tell I'm kind of in love with this recipe? Even the colours make me happy. This is not the first time passionfruit has appeared round these parts, but it is usually included in a dessert such as Passionfruit & Coconut Self-saucing Pudding Cake or this insane White Chocolate Cream Cheese Passionfruit … [Read more...]
