Roasted carrots with pearl barley, chickpeas & herbed crème fraîche

January 9, 2017 by date with a plate.

I blinked and suddenly I am living in Sydney, it’s 2017 and I haven’t posted in longer than I care to admit. I owe you all an apology, I have been completely neglectful of my little hobby blog, distracted by the excitement of this beautiful big city, but I have plans to rectify my lack of action in the year ahead. Plans that start immediately with getting back into the kitchen and cooking more consistently. Moving to Sydney really threw my world […]

Carrot, apple and walnut cake with cream cheese frosting & praline (shhh…it’s gluten free too!)

August 5, 2015 by date with a plate.

So here it is folks, Part Two of my awesomely fun collaboration with Katey from Little Bit Bakery (read more about Part One if you missed it). I feel so privileged to be able to share this recipe with you for Katey’s drool-worthy gluten free carrot cake – please do not underestimate the enormity of this momentous moment…this cake is Katey’s best seller and for good reason. Lusciously moist cake, which is light and practically falls apart in your mouth, […]

Italian sausage and lentil soup

April 8, 2015 by date with a plate.

Sick? Tired? My Italian sausage and lentil soup is a real crowd pleaser. It’s easy to make, cheap and freezes like a boss – so I tend to make large batches and keep some (quite literally) for a rainy day. Like so many good home cooking recipes, this was born from a mixture of being sick at home and resisting a trip to the shops. The result was pleasantly surprising and it’s been on the menu ever since. While technically […]

Gnocchi with braised beef sauce

August 20, 2014 by date with a plate.

Just a short post today, it has been a rough couple of weeks battling the ever complicated onslaught of flu, work, personal life and trip planning – my upcoming trip to the United States is possibly the only thing keeping me sane at the moment. Counting down the days until we jet off for a month long adventure keeps me working hard through everything that’s been thrown at me lately. Sick at home, bored out of my mind (yes, there’s […]

Braised beef cheeks with cauliflower puree & salsa verde

April 29, 2014 by date with a plate.

We have a ritual every Monday night,  we get together with two of our favourite people, eat good food, drink wine and indulge in an hour of blissful silence where we become lost in the world of Game of Thrones. It all started over a love affair for the show and the fact that we didn’t have Foxtel, thus needing to find friends who did….that being said, I actually look forward to Mondays over most other days now (Friday, Saturday […]

Gumbo

March 24, 2014 by date with a plate.

Later this year the boyfriend and I are adventuring for a month in the US, and I honestly cannot wait. All this talk about the places we are going to got me hankering for some Gumbo….since we are going to New Orleans and all I figured I should give this dish a go. I haven’t made it before, but it came out just right – or at least I am told by Ollie it did. He grew up surrounded by […]

Roast carrot hummus

February 24, 2014 by date with a plate.

I adore a good hummus, such a quick and easy dip which can be used in lots of different ways. I often use it in the good old fashioned dip sense, but also love to serve it as a side to kebabs with salad and flat breads. It has such simple flavours and I love the texture of this dip – it has real substance to it. I don’t know why you would ever buy this dip at the shops, […]

Carrot Cake, no healthy treat here!

April 19, 2013 by date with a plate.

You would be forgiven for thinking that a slice of Carrot Cake was doing you any good. In fact I have sometimes been under the false premise that this cake must include a whole range of beneficial nutritional ingredients…but then my friend Gabby gave me her tried and tested recipe for this much more sinister afternoon treat. That’s right, carrot cake isn’t all that its name suggests. Yes there’s carrots, but there is also its sinister sidekicks; oil, butter and […]
