The colours in this salad are just gorgeous – not to mention the flavours! For those of you who don’t know what orzo is – it’s more commonly known in Australia as rissoni (it’s pasta, that looks like plump rice grains). But you could use spirals or shells, or even …

I always think it’s really important to cook seasonally. It makes no sense to cook any other way. When produce is out of season not only does it suffer in the taste stakes – it’s also really expensive! My philosophy is to get fruit and veg when it is not …
Christmas in July and a birthday. Is this a time to say “no” to dessert or a little extra food on your plate? I say, hell no! If we spend our whole lives depriving ourselves of tasty goodness, or the odd indulgence, then what’s the point? To completely deprive yourself …
The other day I came across a video by my number one food hero – Jamie Oliver. I know – he’s the kind of guy people either love or loath. Well, despite my impending marriage – I love Jamie Oliver! There, I said it! But in all seriousness – this …

But, the idea that healthy food is somehow hard and time consuming is just simply untrue.
In fact, healthy food, as far as I am concerned, is fast food! How hard it is to spice up some chichen breast with garlic, lemon and salt and pepper and grill it quickly until it is tender and juicy. It’s perfect served over a Greek salad.
What’s not to love about chorizo sausage? It’s spicy, packed with flavour and it’s certainly a time saver as a result. Broccoli, on the other hand, is not on the top of everyone’s list when it comes to love. I’m a massive fan of the green tree – but if …
Whenever I watch cooking shows where they are cooking Greek food, I always feel so inspired. The flavours always looks so fresh and fabulous with garlic, lemon, salty olives and feta cheese and quite often include the aromatic herb, oregano. Greek salad is one I really love, although I’m not …
Lunch is a challenging meal for me – I want something relatively filling – but healthy and not boring. Those who know me well are aware of my dislike for the humble sandwich – just ask my mother about the outbursts I had as a young teen on a car …
I break this warm potato salad recipe out as soon as the weather starts to look a little less wintry – which it is now that spring has sprung. Like soups as it gets colder – salads just seem to fit the bill as the days get longer and our …
I know, it’s cold and you’re not totally thinking about salad at the moment – but this one is warm and let’s face it – we don’t want to eat heavily all the way through winter. We have to give our body’s a break from the carbs! Well, that’s what …
