What’s your position on fresh vs frozen spinach? I love using fresh spinach in salads. But for dishes like this, when the spinach is cooked down and stirred into things, it just doesn’t make sense to me to use fresh spinach. You’d need at least 5 bunches (probably more!) of fresh spinach to make this. OR 1 box of frozen spinach. So for cost and efficiency reasons, I use frozen spinach in this....
Choose how gooey you want them, just follow the bake times and my “toothpick smearing” test. Brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months, but nothing quite compares to when they’re freshly made, and still slightly warm…. Homemade Chocolate Brownies These homemade brownies are every chocoholics dream come true. Need a chocolate fix urgently? These will be in the oven in 15 minutes flat (if not faster). Hate washing up?...
Chinese Beef Stir Fry Stir fries are my go-to for those nights when I can’t deal with more than the bare minimum effort for dinner. I know I can always knock up a stir fry using whatever greens I have left in my fridge. Even if I only have green beans and an onion (and some protein!). As long as I have a tasty sauce, I’m one happy gal! So I have a secret weapon for super fast midweek meals – a homemade all purpose stir fry sauce....
Miso and eggplant is a gorgeous combination of flavours, and by caramelising the glaze it really takes this to another level. Miso Glazed Japanese Eggplant It always amazes me how the simplest of recipes can have such an incredible depth of flavour. This is one such dish. This recipe is based on a traditional Japanese eggplant dish called Dengaku Miso Eggplant. The traditional way of making this in Japan is to drape the eggplant in the miso sauce, which is a thinner version of the Miso Glaze in this recipe (I’ve included directions to turn the recipe into a sauce)....
I’m sitting in a dark corner of Los Angeles International airport (squatting by a powerpoint!), writing this post for a recipe I cooked and photographed before I left for month long trip to Mexico and Los Angeles. It’s Monday night LA time and I won’t arrive home until Wednesday morning Sydney time because of the time difference. The flight actually isn’t that long – “only” 15 hours, far faster than the 24 hours it takes to get to London!...
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! A JUICY Baked Chicken Breast! Though I always stand firm that brown meat is better than white – more flavour, more juiciness – lean chicken breast is a regular in my shopping trolley, week after week. So today, I’m sharing my recipe for how I make Oven Baked Chicken Breast. We can never have too many really great quick chicken breast recipes!...
And the next free eCookbook is….. drumroll please….. ASIAN TAKEOUT AT HOME!!! I’m trying to ramp up the excitement, but it won by quite a margin and everyone could see the results of the poll at anytime. So rather than a drumroll, a more appropriate sound effect was probably pfffffffff ( <– The sound of a deflating balloon, totally obvious, no? 😉) It will largely be a collation of recipes already on my site, but I’ll add some extras that I haven’t published....
Easier than you think, and a great holiday dessert to get everyone involved building it together! This Pavlova Christmas Tree is a lot more straightforward to make than it looks! I’ve gifted it in ready-to-assemble form to several friends and they put the components together with no problems at all! Pavlova Christmas Tree And so it has landed here on my own website, a week after being featured on the cover of the Sydney Morning Herald’s Sunday Life magazine: The Pavlova Christmas Tree!...

Fabulous lazy Monday meal – made from scratch, using my cheeky “shake and pour” shortcut pasta sauce! Spinach and Ricotta Spinach and ricotta. We stuff things with it (Cannelloni, Rotolo, shells!), we layer things with it, we roll it up in puff pastry and we wrap it in pastry. So why don’t we stir it through pasta bakes? This is a lazy Monday meal I’ve been making for years. I know it’s a little different, but it really is tasty....
I made these scrumptious stacks using leftover frozen Pork Carnitas but I’ve also provided directions for making these with chicken – super quick!. Every time I make tacos this way, I wonder why I bother with the traditional method. There is something about “stacked” food that’s irresistible. It’s so satisfying to cut into the stack and turn a pretty pile into a delicious mess. Yup. That’s my kind of food....
Quick pasta recipes are a midweek lifesaver, and this tomato pasta recipe with bacon is a 15 minute meal that’s great as is but can be loaded with extras – like vegetables and chicken! Bacon Pasta This is a quick pasta that’s made with a tomato pasta sauce and bacon. It’s a great way to turn some bacon into a quick dinner and you can fill it out with more vegetables if you so wish....
When I entertain for large groups, I inevitably do a BBQ because it’s an easy way to feed a lot of people. And also the men always take control of the grill which means I can sit back and sip champagne with the girls – as old school as that sounds, my friends and I don’t complain! 😂 Asian grills are my favourite. If you’ve ever been to any part of Asia, you’ll know that some of the best street food is cooked over charcoal, whether it be Yakitori (chicken skewers) in Japan, Satay Chicken and Suckling Pig in Bali or Gai Yang (Marinated Chicken) in Thailand....

You’ll happily scoff down a giant bowl for dinner, take leftovers to work the next day, you’ll feel full, you’ll feel good, and you won’t miss meat!

Breakfast Muffins This is a great grab ‘n go breakfast, but also has that wow factor to impress family and friends! It’s one of those “what if I did this….?” recipes when I was making some cheese muffins one day. The first attempt had me scraping muffin and egg off the floor of the oven. The second attempt had me grinning like a fool when I cut open a warm, golden domed muffin to be greeted with the sight of a perfectly cooked egg yolk....
And PS – just wait until you see how soft these are in the video! Chicken Meatballs Monday Meatball Mania* is back – and fellow meatball lovers, I have a ripper for you today!

Garlic Bread You can’t order pizza without a side of garlic bread. It would be like ordering a burger at Maccers with no fries. (Oh the sacrilege, talking about so much fast food in one post! 🙈) And while some people dive straight for the biggest slice of pizza, I always – ALWAYS – go for the garlic bread first. Who’s with me here??? 🙋🏻♀️ How to make garlic bread There are many ways to make garlic bread....
