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 […]

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 […]

Tabbouleh

June 4, 2015 by date with a plate.

I hadn’t planned on blogging this recipe, it was just something I threw together on Monday evening to accompany some homemade falafels, but after a few requests I figured it was worth sharing. As you can probably tell, the two quick snaps I managed to get were for Insty purposes only and a little rushed – I had to quickly snap before rushing out the door to our friends house for our weekly ‘family dinner’, but hey – you get […]

Fish stew Ancona-style

June 23, 2014 by date with a plate.

We don’t eat seafood nearly as much as we should, but on Sunday afternoon we spoiled ourselves with a trip to a local fish market – scoring some awesome treasures for a Sunday night feast. Oysters, fish, prawns, pipis and scallops…..I was seriously excited to get home and get cooking! Recently I bought Antonio Carluccio’s book, The Collection, and was continuously drawn to his Fish stew Ancona-style – no matter how aimlessly I thought I was skipping through the pages, […]

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 […]
