Corned beef breakfast hash

January 27, 2016 by date with a plate.

In Part Two of my collaboration with Harvey Beef (don’t worry, you can catch up on Part One if you missed it) I used one of the more challenging cuts of meats from the marinated range, Oak Barrel Corned Silverside. The silverside comes from the outside of the rear leg and sits between the knuckle and the topside. As it is a muscle heavily used for walking, silverside requires the slow moist cooking of corning to produce a tender and […]

Baked eggs with chickpeas, tomato and basil

January 18, 2016 by date with a plate.

The great thing about eggs is they don’t need to be confined to breakfast. Dinner, snack time or lunch, eggs are one versatile and affordable ingredient and it’s probably why I utilise them in my cooking so often. Although I made this meal for breakfast, it can just as easily be eaten for lunch or dinner. It’s quick, easy, cheap and most importantly; tasty and filling. It’s also very adaptable, for example, feel free to add some grilled chorizo/bacon or […]

Tropical coleslaw

January 4, 2016 by date with a plate.

New year, same me, zero resolutions and I’m perfectly fine with that. While there’s no resolutions (because I’m not really into setting myself up to fail, or as the infamous meme goes “no one likes a skinny sober bitch anyway”), but I love to set myself goals, I do it all the time. Goals feel different to resolutions, perhaps it because I do them throughout the year, an ongoing effort to focus on myself, better who I am and give […]

My Harvey Beef (not so classic) roast beef sanga

December 9, 2015 by date with a plate.

For the past month our house has been the epicentre of all things beef. Beef for dinner, beef for lunch, even beef for breakfast. But don’t get me wrong, this is a good thing, a very good thing. I have been busy cooking and reviewing Harvey Beef’s new marinated beef range. When I was asked by the team at Harvey Beef if I was up for the challenge, my enthusiastic “yes” was delivered without hesitation, not even the slightest of […]

Spiced roast cauliflower, quinoa and chickpea salad

November 19, 2015 by date with a plate.

I find it weird (in an awesome kind of way) that we create these profiles on social media platforms, such as Instagram (@date.with.a.plate), and start building this community of like-minded people from all over the world around us. I have been fortunate enough to have made “Insty-friends” with some of the most creative and talented individuals. But social media can be a blessing and a curse…let me explain. Some people think social media disconnects us from the world around us, […]

Pasta with pipis

November 9, 2015 by date with a plate.

Despite living in a really great neighbourhood, I often find myself driving questionably long distances to source great produce, especially seafood. It feels like I live in a bit of a produce black-hole. There just wasn’t anything in my local area that really floated my boat with respect to good quality seafood. So when a new local small business opened its doors, I was grateful to have access to both fresh and frozen seafood. I have never thought of seafood […]

Labneh

November 2, 2015 by date with a plate.

Labneh is essentially yoghurt which has been strained to remove its whey, resulting in a thick consistency, while preserving the yogurt’s distinctive, sour taste. There’s a few different stages you can take a labneh, from a softer more dip-like consistency to a rather firm, spreadable consistency – both are delicious and can be used in so many ways. Normally, I fork out a small fortune to buy labneh from my local delicatessen…thinking it was being expertly crafted and surely not […]

Roman-Jewish fried artichokes

October 13, 2015 by date with a plate.

So my other half went to Europe for a wedding a few weeks ago and spent a few days in Rome before returning home to Australia. And when in Rome…well, you eat as the Romans do don’t you? Which happened to include these amazing Roman-Jewish fried artichokes. I’ll admit I had never heard of them before, but Ollie was eager to replicate this amazing little dish. And yes, it’s as easy as you’d think and as delicious as you would hope. I love […]

Marron with blood orange, fennel and apple

October 8, 2015 by date with a plate.

Ah marron, sweet sweet delicious juicy marron, how much I love you. But sadly, if you don’t live in Western Australia or on Kangaroo Island in South Australia you might struggle to find one of these tasty freshwater shellfish – so substitute with prawns, crayfish, lobster or even scallops for an indulgent and super fancy meal. Perfect with a glass (or bottle) of white, a good friend and a carefree Spring afternoon. I love this shellfish, in fact I have […]

Kale chips

September 25, 2015 by date with a plate.

I hate to admit it, but faced with an excessive quantity of kale (cavolo nero to be precise, but you can use any other variety you like) in my veggie patch I decided to try my hand at making kale chips. Well, really they’re not chips (potatoes make chips, or even sweet potato), it’s more like dehydrated kale leaves covered in flavour and salty goodness. However, if you’re feel like offering an alternative to traditional chips at your next soirée, […]

The 5,000 Meals project (…and some yummy lupin vegetable patties)

September 16, 2015 by date with a plate.

I have always been of the belief that food brings people together. Never has it been more apparent to me than on Monday evening, when I was invited by the team at Lupin Foods (who recently became a sponsor of the project) to take part in a workshop held at May Street Larder with Executive Chef Scott Bridger and home economics students from Methodist Ladies’ College. The 5,000 Meals project is an innovative community project designed to utilise food waste […]

Rhubarb, strawberry & blood orange crumble

September 8, 2015 by date with a plate.

Where does the time go? How is it September already? It’s like I’ve blinked and an entire month has completely flashed before my eyes while I semi-consciously continue to live. Perhaps it’s time to slow things down? I live just as busy a life as anyone else; forever balancing the scales of social life and work life, friend time and family time…but it can get a bit overwhelming at times. It seems there is always something to do, somewhere to […]
