Apart from the taste & the fact tzatziki & hummus are easy to make, the thing I love about these two dips is they’re multipurpose. Perfect with crunchy veg they make the perfect spread – think wraps & sandwiches. Make one or make both. I like to make these as part of my meal prep […]
Yes you can buy ricotta from most stores & it’s perfectly fine for baking – say a cheesecake, but, when you know How to Make Ricotta, like me, you might discover the homemade variety adds a delicious creaminess to top a plate of pasta or serve with a cheese board. Maybe spread on some crostini […]
Thai Chicken Vegetable Stir-Fry is such a simple recipe to make & one that is so flavorful. The key ingredient in this stir-fry has to be the Thai basil. Use the basil leaves much like you would spinach: either leave them whole or a quick tear. I tend to leave them whole. Thai basil, a […]
Saying that something is “the best” is bandied about to the point it’s hard to be taken seriously. I rarely use the term although it does score better in an online search, so when I state this is The Best Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread, take comfort in the fact it most certainly is the best – […]
Lemon Curd is simple to make – easier than you thought, if you’d ever considered making it at home. Of course you can buy Lemon Curd but not all are created equal. Homemade tastes like it’s devoid of artificial flavor & doesn’t have the nuclear color of some inferior curds. If you are going to […]
For me sausage rolls are so very Australian. They’re my childhood: the school canteen, rainy days with nana at home & as a treat once in awhile from the local pie shop. A sausage roll is ground meat – almost always, pork, with some seasoning rolled into a sausage shape, encased in puff pastry & […]
Whether you’re making a pasta sauce – spaghetti Bolognese, a chicken stew, a tomato soup, a chili or looking for something to spoon over your omelet, this tomato sauce is what you didn’t know you needed in your life. Batch Cooking Tomato Pasta Sauce is perfect for make-and-freeze it to have on hand for a […]
Although delicious spread on toast, Bourbon Peach Jam is also good served with ham & cheese for a salty-sweet kick. The combination of peaches & bourbon I have to say came rather late to this Aussie girl; here in the US of A, the peach & bourbon combo is a favorite. I will forever more […]
When faced with not being able to find an ingredient for a recipe, sometimes you just have to make it. Especially when the it’s as simple as Crème Fraîche. Two ingredients and 24 hours later I had created this decadent cultured cream sporting just the right tang and thickness. It’s food science magic. Crème Fraîche […]
Hoisin Beef & Snow Pea Stir-Fry comes together in minutes. It’s a little sweet with some crunch from waterchestnuts & the snow peas. Such a perfect weeknight meal if you’re a little time poor. If you’ve ever made a stir-fry before you know’ll to have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go – even […]
