20 flavour-packed vegetarian Christmas salads+ sides
Growing up (vegetarian) our Christmas meal didn’t resemble the ‘norm’. Sure lunch at the Grandparents was pretty traditional, but my family only ate the salads, vegetable sides and mums silverbeet + feta filo pie she’d take along to my Grandparents without fail, every year. Us kids would hurry to grab a slice before the rest […]
Strawberry, rocket (arugula) + goats cheese salad with black pepper dressing
I’ve had this recipe sitting in my drafts for years.

For many, ‘bring a salad’ means dumping a […]

Smash-roasted perlas potatoes with creamy horseradish mayonnaise
Growing up we ate a lot of potatoes. Mum has mentioned more than once there were times when us kids only ate potatoes and not much else!
