Sit up straight, take a deep breath and repeat after me... "Leftovers" is not a dirty word,"leftovers" is not a dirty word,"LEFTOVERS" IS NOT A DIRTY WORD! Don't believe me? I'm such a fan of the sentiment that I even made a little video to prove my case. Now I do get it, leftovers are -- without a doubt -- polarising. People either love them or hate them -- and the hateful feelings are generally driven by shudder-inducing (or gag-inducing) memories of dried out, fragrant in the … [Read more...]
Egg, Salmon & Goat Cheese Baked Mushrooms
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...]
Asparagus & Smoked Salmon Egg Cups
Remember how I said that I'd been inspired by an asparagus delivery to create a stack of seasonal Spring-inspired recipes? This is the second of those, because brunch.

Smoked Salmon Breakfast Pizza
It was morning and I was hungry. Hungry for breakfast but craving pizza. Porridge -- my usual go-to -- just wouldn't suffice, and honestly who am I to deny a pizza craving. The smokey-sweet Whisky Cured Smoked Salmon from my #huonsalmon order was waving at me from the fridge -- sitting just under the Salmon Caviar, next to the dill left over from the salmon reuben adventure, and on the shelf above the all-the-green-things pesto. RJ was at the grocery store already and a quick call … [Read more...]
Blackened Salmon Reuben with Yoghurt Dill Sauce
This is that sandwich, the one you've been waiting for. The one that is as comfortable at a brunch soiree as it is at lunch or dinner. The one that is a little bit rich, a little bit tangy, a little bit crisp, a little bit creamy. The one that guys want to be and girls want to be with. What? I love a good sandwich and this one ticks all the boxes. A sandwich wasn't however the first thing that came to mind when I was offered the opportunity to try out some of the Huon … [Read more...]
