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 …
If you’re looking for something to do over the Easter break, and even into the colder months approaching - I think it pays to jump in the car if you live in Victoria – and head for Anglesea. There’s a hidden gem there that everyone should check out. It has amazing …

When I was growing up I thought Mexican food was all about tacos out of an Old El Paso box. Now, I’m not going to say I never use the packet option - I do, cos I really think it’s yummy – but fajitas made from scratch would have to be my …

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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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. The recipe we learnt during the masterclass was no …
