Lentil Salad with Basil and Lemon
Its Australia Day, and what is more Australian than lentils….well lots of stuff actually…but as you may be aware, I have been home from a cruise for less than a week, and talk about struggle with being home and getting back into the swing of it all! Can’t even...
Chicken Mango and Noodle Salad
Perth has been having a mini heatwave…of sorts, and now it is all cloudy and threatening, but I do have the airconditioner in full swing. The first air conditioning day for the season in fact…here we go…summer is on its way!
So for a hot day, a quick and easy salad....
Well here I go again…the fruit in the salad routine! Can’t help it, just adds that piquancy that a salad needs. This salad is quick, to the point and totally great to increase or decrease to suit the numbers you are feeding. Add more spinach, avocado, prawns, peanuts, and/or pineapple to suit.
A...
Lemon Feta Dressing
Steaming Ready!
Well kids as I brace myself for an Easter Choc Fest, I realise I should put up here some of the healthier options that happen in our household…maybe not as sexy as something dripping with ganache, but yummy nonetheless. I would hate you all to think we only...
Green Potato Salad with Quail Eggs
My family rarely need an excuse to eat potato salad, and if I can use pesto for anything I will…so this is a combo, and whilst on a theme, we went green! (I know, I know, I should take up penning poetry)!
Less of a recipe and more of a suggestion, you can tweak this...
Roasted Fig and Cacciatore Salad
The name of this salad should be more in keeping with the bounty of family members it involved…but in keeping with my pledge to name posts for what they are…no matter how boring, this is, just as named; Roasted Fig with Spicy Cacciatore Sausage Salad.
Another quickie….I...
Cooked Honey Mayo (front) and Fresh Ranch Dressing (rear)
With all this hot weather, I confess I can really only cope with throwing a salad together, grilling or BBQ-ing some chook or beef and with occasional bread of some description thrown in (because bread IS the staff of life after all!) and is...
Watercress, Brocollini and Pomegranate Salad
You know me and fruit in salad…I think my kids have even stopped complaining about fruit showing up in a savoury salad because they are either;
A) resigned to the fact,
B) used to it or
C) enjoy it themselves now.
Colleagues are not so good with it, but...
Christmas Sugar Plum Salad?
Ever since I spent nearly five years in the USA as a youngster (!) I have loved fruit in salads…It seems to be something they do extraordinarily well and so even after all these years I am still playing around with the idea. I LOVE mango in a green salad that sports...
P8...Eight Flavours Pesto Pasta Salad
Now it is the pasta itself that has eight flavours…and if Adriano can call his amazing one flavoured Vanilla Thriller a V8, then I figure I can call this the P8 as I’m guessing the salad has a whole lot more flavours than eight, (given the pasta has its...
Tenina Hmmn, liking the sound of a licorice all sort jelly…great idea....
Lilli Hmmmm, have just been searching for a licorice ice cream after a girlfriend has made ...
Tenina Thanks Megan…(she blushes…feeling a bit porky and not at all like the poster child fo...
Megan Oh T, so glad i tried this stuff, its tasty (i do add a sachel of Natvia) but i notic...
Always crazy about food since she fed the neighborhood kids that first mud pie, (seasoned with a good dash of vegemite, a childhood Aussie fave!!) she now has a tribe of her own that she happily feeds whenever she can get them to sit down long enough. Her culinary experience ranges from Bangers ‘N Mash in London long ago…(and far far away) to attempts at Chinese banquets for her University ‘roomies’ in the USA to more recent culinary holidays to Singapore and Vietnam and now several years as a food consultant, recipe developer/writer and food eater and dreamer. Obsession can be a wonderful thing!
Ever resourceful and always hungry, and now the proud owner of a Thermomix, she can whip up a delicious storm in minutes, given half a chance. It is on her blogs that she shares her passion for food and the perfect cooking of it!
Professionally she works to bring to two major Australian Appliance companies, the best use of said appliances in the form of recipes. Always up for a personal demonstration, plans are afoot for a cooking tour in 2009, so look out for a Thermomix class near you! She can now live without her microplane for the first time in a cooking lifetime, she still can’t live without her Thermomix and she certainly can’t live without her blog comments…so make her day and leave a note!
