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 …

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 …
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.
Eggplant is in season and so it’s time to start thinking of some creative ways of serving it. A lot of people don’t really like eggplant, or aubergine as it is known is some places, all that much. I used to be one of them. It can be bitter if not treated to …
