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 …
I have wanted to try chilli mud crab ever since my dad raved about how amazing it is. I’ve seen it cooked on TV – and apparently it’s normal and quite traditional for the sauce to consist in-part – of tomato sauce. I really like hot food – but not so …
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 …
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 …
It’s Monday afternoon and you’ve got no idea what to cook for dinner tonight … this chargrilled squid salad is the answer. If you don’t have the ingredients at home – then you only need to stop by two sections of the supermarket to get everything you need. You’ll be …
Welcome to Wednesday! By this stage we are immersed in the week and lots of us can’t be bothered cooking something complicated.
What do you like to cook mid-week? Do you have a go-to recipe which you call on when things are getting a little overwhelming? If you do have one, I’d love to hear about it in the comments section below.
If you don’t have a recipe or two that you call on when you’re busy and fall back to take-aways or pre-made food – then this week I challenge you to find a recipe that you can whip up in 30 minutes or less. It’ll make life less stressful, be healthier for you and your family, and be so much kinder to your hip pocket.
I think mid-week is a time to have something quick, easy, light, but most of all – yummy.
This salad is ideal, and can be served with some simply grilled chicken.
It may look and taste fancy, but this vanilla bean panacotta is super easy! I learnt this during the Masterclass I had last month with Oakdene restaurant head chef Marty Chichester where we also made oysters, chilli mud crab and lobsters with garlic butter. It was an amazing experience for me, because I was …

On Tuesday night I was treated to a cooking Master Class with one of Victoria’s best executive chefs – Marty Chichester from the Bellarine Peninsula’s Oakdene Vinyards restaurant - a multi-award winning venue that last year won the National Award for the Best Restaurant in a Winery. I have to admit that I was …
