MY DARLING LEMON THYME

Roasted Brussels Sprout Rice Noodle Salad with Soy Ginger Dressing

In a few months time it will have been THIRTEEN years since I started sharing recipes online. So much has changed in the online world over that time (hello Instagram, Tik Tok) and I’ve really struggled at times to feel like my voice matters and/or is still relevant in this fast paced online world where […]

Za’atar-Roasted Eggplant Salad with Lentils, Halloumi + Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

One more autumnal recipe before the sun-kissed produce disappears for another year. Here I’ve stuck with Middle Eastern inspired flavours that are always guaranteed to work together, thick slabs of creamy za’atar roasted eggplant (aka aubergine for you Aussies reading), sweet roasted cherry tomatoes, earthy lentils and salty halloumi all brought together with a lemon […]

Chilli + soy eggplant with tofu (vegan + gluten-free)

Herbed Asparagus + Brown Rice Salad

Our asparagus plants aren’t quite at the stage of producing a lot just yet, we’ve waited patiently for the last few years as the crown establish themselves and this year we got just a handful of tender spears. None made it into the house, and instead were shared between my husband and I, eaten raw […]

White bean soup with kale + pumpkin seed pesto

It’s at this time of year, when we get those first few days of sunshine and warmth that we all (by all what I really mean is ME!) tend to get a little excited about the upcoming summer months, only to get sad when it turns cold and frosty again, like it always does in […]

Carrot, tofu + shiitake stir fry

Many could be fooled into thinking that we eat really adventurously all the time, given my chef background and what I do for a living, but this couldn’t be further from reality. In fact, we eat really simply most days, with our meals often centering around rice, a protein and seasonal (often homegrown) vegetables. This […]
