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 […]

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 […]

Donna Hay’s lemon meringue pie

May 19, 2015 by date with a plate.

I love the tangy sweet smell of citrus fruits and jump at the opportunity to take a bag of lemons home whenever the tree at my Mum’s house is in season – and what a season it has been, for the second weekend in a row I made Donna Hay’s lemon meringue pie because, well, LEMONS. The first time for my Mum on Mother’s Day and the second for friends who came for dinner. There is no good reason for […]

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, […]

Pomegranate, chickpea and almond couscous salad

December 17, 2013 by date with a plate.

Feeling festive and totally inspired by Christmas colours I created a delicious salad last night after adding a little inspiration from recipes online and served up this lovely salad. Fast to put together and has such wonderful flavours – I absolutely love this salad and I would even consider it a new favourite. I served it with lamb and a mint, lemon and yoghurt dressing, absolutely summer on a plate. I love it when Pomegranates are in season, they are […]

Coconut and lemon sorbet

November 11, 2013 by date with a plate.

Essentials for cooling down in the hot Summer months? Easy. Air-conditioning, minimal clothing and ice-cream, or in this case, sorbet. I am an absolute sucker for sweets, and sorbet is one of my absolute favourites. A recent trip to Indonesia provided endless inspiration after indulging with a scoop of coconut sorbet for dessert one humid and hot evening. It was bliss – pure, satisfying, cold bliss. So here’s my recreation, a coconut sorbet but with a tang of lemony goodness. […]
