Soup Sunday: Celeriac, cauliflower and leek

The soup this week was really thanks to the efforts of my Bro. I did the directing, while he did all the grunt work. Naturally I took the glory! It’s a pretty good way to cook – I highly recommend it. I picked up a massive celeriac at the market, and the only way I [...]

Soup Sunday: Cauliflower and leek soup

This week’s soup should probably be Soup Monday, because we had this soup last night. But I made the soup on Sunday so technically I can still say it’s part of Soup Sunday. The soup for this week was cauliflower and leek. I know that cauliflower isn’t the coolest kid on the block, but I [...]

Hunza Pie

Silver beet (swiss chard) is not something that I eat very often. In fact, when I bought a bunch of silver beet to make this Hunza pie, it was the first time I’ve purchased it. We didn’t eat silver beet much when I was younger – my mum had a friend who would give her [...]

Zucchini and feta rice tarts

I had some cooked rice left over the other week. Normally, I would make fried rice, which is always quick and tasty. I tried something a bit different though, and tried making rice tarts with an eggy filling (like a quiche). I mixed up the cold rice with an egg and then pressed it into [...]

Spicy bean soup (aka soupy nachos)

Brrr! The cool weather here is quickly turning into cold weather – and I am not happy! I miss summer already. I’m a summer person. I love the heat (yes, I don’t even mind the 40 degree scorchers), the long days, warm nights, eating outside, and the summer fruits and vegetables. But despite the fact [...]

Capsciums stuffed with bulghur

We’ve been eating a lot of vegetables and salads in the last couple of days. I’m stocking up on fresh stuff because I have a feeling that we’ll be eating a lot of pasta and rice while we’re away. Capsciums stuffed with bulghur Serves 4 1 cup bulghur1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder2 cloves garlic, peeled1 [...]

Three colour salad

Today has been a great day. I’ve finished up at my old job and didn’t have to go to work. I got to sleep in this morning! And, I had lunch with a good friend that I haven’t seen in ages. And, the weather was gorgeous! As soon as I stepped outside and felt that [...]

Chickpea and ricotta balls

The idea for these balls floated around in my head for a couple of days before I got around to making them. My cooking inspiration hasn’t returned yet. Even walking around the South Melbourne market on Wednesday didn’t help. Sadly, it was my last weekday wander around the market for the foreseeable future. It’s my [...]

Cheesy Pasta with cauliflower and asparagus

Apart from an occasional weekend coffee, and for cooking, we don’t use much milk. I don’t like the taste of plain milk, whether it’s skim, normal or full fat. (But I could drink litres of soy milk, particularly the plastic bottles with yellow lids that can be bought in Asian supermarkets – yum!) Due to [...]

Vegie burgers and chips

I enjoy eating meat, and I don’t think I could ever give it up. However, I do try and ensure that we have a few nights a week where we have a vegetarian meal. I felt like we had been eating a lot of meat last week, so one evening I made vegie burgers. My [...]
