Greek-Style Turkey Burgers

Foodie — Mon, 13 May 2013 21:29:52 +0000

Today’s recipe was inspired and adapted from one of my favourite ‘clean-eating’ cooks, Dani Spies of ‘Clean & Delicious’ . Here’s a link to Dani’s tzatziki because, being ‘Greek-style’ they aren’t tomato sauce or ‘ketchup’ burgers. My taste-testing guinea pigs (not all … Continue reading →

Chicken Congee

Foodie — Mon, 06 May 2013 21:25:59 +0000

For years I wanted to make congee.. and finally, I’ve did it last year and it’s remained in my repertoire since. If you can put chicken, rice and water into a pot and onto a hot stove (pretty much), then … Continue reading →

Bircher Muesli with Almond & Coconut (dairy free)

Foodie — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:14:06 +0000

The first time I tried Bircher Muesli was in Tasmania at Cradle Mountain Lodge, four years ago. A buffet breakfast was included in our cabin tariff each morning and it served us very well before our hike-filled days. I have to say … Continue reading →

Zucchini & Lime Muffins

Foodie — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:49:54 +0000

“Refreshing”. “Delightful”. “Amazing”….Some feedback from the people I fed these muffins to! That’s not big-noting myself, I just didn’t want to lose the folk who are reading this and thinking “Zucchini and Lime?” “In a sweet muffin”? The recipe is my own but the inspiration came from … Continue reading →

Eton Mess

Foodie — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 14:40:05 +0000

I first made this recipe a couple of years ago when I attended ’Taste of Melbourne’ 2011. (I’ve since gone-off the festival after they moved it from its usual home -being the Royal Exhibition Building & turned it into an outdoor event in Albert Park). … Continue reading →

Fisherman’s Pie

Foodie — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:02:11 +0000

My fish consumption has slowly declined over the last year as *gasp* I somehow became bored with my ‘usual’ salmon & avocado sushi hand rolls (which I ate twice weekly at least). I also don’t buy salmon or trout fillets … Continue reading →

Sticky Chinese Chicken

Foodie — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:45:40 +0000

If you’d like a quick and easy meal idea, packed full of flavour then this chicken dish should hit the spot. It easily transforms into a vegetarian dish if you replace the chicken with vegies like fresh green beans, capsicum, … Continue reading →

Easter Pie (Pastiera Napoletana)

Foodie — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 05:26:04 +0000

‘Tis the season of overflowing Hot Cross Bun recipes while we remember how Jesus died and rose again for us. But if you want something different and custardy and something you won’t find discounted in packs of 6 at the … Continue reading →

Hungarian-style Sausage, Beans & Toast

Foodie — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 13:04:50 +0000

I went to Prahran market for the very first time ever last Saturday. My impressions? Smaller than I imagined and a lot less people too, which suited me fine. I also loved that The Essential Ingredient was right next door, … Continue reading →

Flourless Hazelnut Cake with Espresso Frosting

Foodie — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:31:49 +0000

I’m not the kind of girl who would enjoy a Nutella (hazelnut spread) sandwich and I prefer Rafaello’s (Coconut) to Ferrero Rocher’s (Choc Hazelnut)… but regardless, this cake is always worth making as a special ‘at home’ cafe-style treat. I’ve … Continue reading →
