These homemade chicken burgers are a real favourite in our household and make for an easy weeknight dinner or weekend lunch when entertaining. They’re simple, they’re fresh, they’re incredible tasty. Go ahead and enjoy them as is (served with crisp iceberg and my cheat’s spiced mayo) or why not pimp them up with all sorts […]
This has all the components of a very good slice. A beautifully chewy and crunchy texture, a sweet and salty flavour and the loveliest hint of vanilla. I made this for my mother-in-law yesterday and she asked for the recipe, instantly. When Heilala Vanilla reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in […]
This is a really, really good recipe to have up your sleeve to whip up for school lunchboxes or for an afternoon treat. Made by simply whacking everything into a bowl and mixing it together with a wooden spoon – it’s perfectly easy for the little ones to make. So moist and squidgy in the […]
One of the girls’ friends is gluten free and I’m always on the hunt for baking recipes that I can make whenever a playdate has been organised. These five ingredient almond cookies are incredibly easy to make. And when I say that they’re incredibly easy to make. I mean, they’re incredibly easy to make. Made […]
I’ve been meaning to re write this recipe for my “Best butter sponge cake” for six years now. Eek. What’s that saying? Good things come to those who wait. It’s a recipe that was given to me by my grandma Mim years ago, who in turn was given it to her by her good friend […]
Gosh I love baking. I feel like a bit of a fraud though as I don’t actually have much of a sweet tooth myself – I’ll always go for a cheese plate over a decadent and rich dessert. Thankfully there are many in this household that do though. Have a sweet tooth, that is. And […]
If you’re looking for something easy to make with the kids – and by easy, I mean, easy. Then you’ve come to the right place. Try these tasty “two ingredient” protein crisp chocolate crackles. A great little after school treat and made simply by melting some chocolate in the microwave before mixing through some protein […]
Charlotte took one bite of this slice tonight and shrieked “Mum! You have to put this recipe on your blog. It’s soooo good”. This reminded me of why I started Lo’s Kitchen all those years ago as a way of collating all of our families favourite recipes that my mum, grandma’s, sisters and aunties have […]
Made in minutes, this stir fry is everything I love in a dish. It’s spicy, salty, sour and just a little bit sweet. If you’re a newbie to cooking (and eating) tofu at home, then this recipe is for you. All you have to do is throw a wok on the stove to get nice […]
Don’t buy hummus. Make it instead. Here you’ll find a wonderfully simple yet delicious recipe for my homemade sweet potato hummus. Made by simply blitzing up some roasted sweet potato and a tin of chickpeas, it not only tastes a lot better than the store bought variety, it’s more economical, is impressive for your guests […]
I thought up of this salad while writing the recipe for my parsnip, pepita and parmesan side dish. Here I was banging on about my love of alliteration. At the same time I was adding curry powder to some yoghurt to make the base for a coleslaw dressing for my lunch – seeing as though […]
Parsnip. What does one do with a parsnip? Bar throwing them into a beef stew, the only way I know how to cook parsnip is to roast in the oven. I created this dish partly due to the fact that I have a thing for alliteration – the “parsnip, pepitas + parmesan” seemed to roll […]
Eating salad doesn’t have to be boring. It shouldn’t be hard to make. You don’t need to overcomplicate things. Take this humble roasted Brussel sprout number made with a tin of brown lentils, a scattering of walnuts and dried cranberries and some freshly chopped kale. Toss it all together with a bit of spiced tahini […]
This is my kind of cooking. Flavoursome, healthy, interesting and most importantly – easy! The perfect weeknight dinner or as an accompaniment to a casual bbq – I’m always looking for ways to jazz up the humble cooked snag! A simple and humble roast vegetable and bean traybake served on a bed of a refreshingly […]
I always have carrots in the fridge. In fact I always have all of the ingredients for this carrot cake loaf in the pantry and fridge. That’s why I love it. You can whip this up in minutes and apart from needing a grater, you don’t need any fancy mixing equipment here as it’s all […]
Toothpick meatballs. Why are they called that? Because they’re best eaten with a toothpick. Simple as that. This isn’t very complicated stuff here. Simply throw everything together into a bowl, get in there with your hands and roll out into small balls before frying them in a bit of olive oil. Succulent and juicy, they […]
If you wait for everything to be perfect before you start, you’ll never start. So get starting. That’s the motto I’m rolling with on this Saturday evening. Trying to bring some “can do” energy in my quest to upload my huge backlog of recipes to the blog. Take this cheat’s tiramisu for example. I made […]
These are seriously easy to make. Take some roast veggies, whack in a bit of cheese and some pesto, don’t worry about how messy your pastry work is and throw in the oven. Crunchy and golden filo pastry on the outside with an incredibly tasty and moreish veggie filling on the inside, make these once […]
I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again. I love a good veggie side dish. I love how it can really bring a meal together. Gone are the days where the veggies need to be the after thought. I had a fabulous dinner at Armorica in Surry Hills recently and their broccolini side dish […]
This is the ultimate sweet treat. Comforting and delicious and just like the old school caramel slice your grandma used to make. Just like the one found in bakeries all over the country. The recipe was given to me by a good friend Nikki who makes it as a gluten free version, using gluten free […]
