How about a delicious warm salad for a healthy meat free Monday night meal? This cous cous salad is filling and delicious. Meat free Monday for me is really about playing around with ingredients and flavours. We’re constantly told to ditch the red meat for more veggies, (now please don’t get me wrong – I […]
Am I even allowed to call this Caesar salad a salad? With the deliciously salty prosciutto, toasted to perfection crunchy sourdough crumbs, freshly shaved parmesan and the delightfully anchovey-ie dressing – it seems too good to be called a salad. It’s a complete meal in itself, perfect for a weekend lunch or for a midweek […]
In the recent remake of Beatrix Potter’s masterpiece, Peter Rabbit, Peter’s rather plump sidekick, Benjamin Bunny is told to lose weight by taking his salad with the dressing on the side. Benjamin is a bit like me as he doesn’t quite get it. “I don’t understand how I am to lose weight when I drink […]
Since I’ve started writing this blog I’ve had a growing number of people contact me letting me know that they’ve cooked one of the dishes I’ve made. This gives me so much satisfaction and keeps me motivated to continue to share what I’m cooking. That’s what it’s all about. If I can post a recipe […]
KALE. You either love it, or hate it. A popular food movement over the past few years, I’ve actually seen t-shirts that sport “I Heart Kale” on them. I posed the question around the dinner table on Friday night; “have you cooked with kale before?” The answers were definitely skewed more towards NO. “I don’t […]
Meat free Monday. Cork Daddy’s favourite day of the week. A good idea as it forces you to up the veggie intake; is good on the ol’ wallet and I like coming up with new ideas using ingredients that don’t get as much of a run as they usually do, or should. Introducing the lovely […]
This easy side salad works well as an accompaniment to any Asian meal that already packs a punch. It is bright, fresh and light and takes minutes to make. I like arranging the noodles in to individual ‘nests’ for something a little different.
Saturday night. Friends coming round for dinner. What to cook? Well you can’t go past an Italian menu of shared, relaxed food. So throw some spag bol on for the littlies and follow this menu below, keeping things simple, delicious and fun. I like to scribble the menu on a large piece of butchers paper […]
If you like duck pancakes, I am sure you will like this meal. There isn’t a duck in sight, instead, a pig. Sticky, moreish, Char Sui style barbecue pork belly ribs, spring onion pancakes and an asian slaw with a delish peanut butter dressing. Yum! I have always loved going out for Chinese; “fried china” as […]
Every man and his dog that has a veggie patch seems to grow silverbeet, am I right? What do you do with it, do you ask? Apart from making a silverbeet, feta and pastry tart, I have often wondered what I should be cooking with it as it wilts away in a plastic shopping bag […]
I feel the same way about brown rice as I do at the start of each new season. “What on earth did I used to wear last winter?” as I search for something to wear in the beginning of the colder months. What on earth did I used to eat before discovering individual, microwavable brown […]
