I think a French Vinaigrette is the very first salad dressing recipe I learned to make properly. When I say “properly”, I mean more than just drizzling a squeeze of lemon juice and olive oil over greens. Which there’s nothing wrong with doing, and I still certainly do that! I mean actually making a real proper salad dressing. I think this was my first. 🙂 The thing many people may not know about French Salad Dressings is that it keeps really well for up to 2 weeks....

These are like the Greek zucchini version of good ole’ Rissoles, Chicken Patties and Salmon Patties. But so much more exotic sounding by being able to say “these are GREEK!” Greek Zucchini Tots These are Courgette Rissoles from Alonnisos in Greece, a recipe I found in a book called The Food and Cooking of Greece that I stumbled across when I was browsing my local library for cookbooks. Do you do that?...

It’s a popular Chef’s Special at upscale Thai restaurants that will set you back $30 for just one shank. 5 minutes prep, then just pop it in the oven. Yes, really! Lamb Shanks in Massman Curry Aussies are extremely fond of lamb shanks and Massaman Curry. So we never pass it up when we see them together on the menu of a Thai restaurant. Meltingly tender lamb shanks smothered in a rich coconut, spice infused Massaman curry sauce is a heavenly combination – just the thought makes me weak in the knees, and you’ll happily pay upwards of $30 for ONE lamb shank....

At the centre of it all, the pride and joy of my lunch – a classic Aussie Roast Lamb Leg with a flavour packed gravy. It’s Lambalicious!! After more ideas? Browse all my roast lamb recipes! 2 1/2 years ago, I was what I call “internet shy”. I tried to avoid having an internet presence. I had Facebook but rarely used it. I never left messages on blogs even if I tried and loved a recipe....

After more ideas? Browse all my roast lamb recipes! Slow Roast Leg of Lamb I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – lamb leg should either be roasted exactly such that it’s blushing pink inside – either whole or butterflied – or long and slow so it’s ultra tender. Blushing pink = meat thermometer or holding-your-breath-cross-your-fingers for that moment when you carve, hoping for juicy lamb rather than grey and dry....

This stovetop Macaroni and Cheese is a perfect classic – and it just happens to be made in one pot.

There really are no rules when it comes to a Garden Salad. Any greens and any vegetables will do, all tied together with a classic and simple salad dressing. Make this your own! My Garden Salad Ordinarily I write an introduction about the recipe I’m sharing. But I find myself stuck to come up with something witty or some back story about Garden Salad. I wish I could say this salad is made with crisp organic vegetables fresh from my garden....

Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles Firstly, let me be very upfront that this is by no means an authentic Thai dish. Which is why I don’t even classify it as part of the Thai recipes collection. 😂 It’s just a really tasty one-skillet, minimal-prep dinner that’s full of Thai-inspired flavours. Specifically, Thai Peanut Sauce flavours. All you Thai Chicken Satay fans out there will LOVE it! What you need for Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles Note the use of chicken mince and baby spinach here – no chopping involved!...

I take it very personally when people have trouble making a recipe of mine. I take a great deal of care writing and testing recipes before I share them, and you would probably be horrified at the number of beautiful photos I have trashed because I wasn’t happy with the recipe, or because I thought the “fail” risk was too high. I posted this Balsamic Drumsticks recipe back in April 2015 and a handful of readers have had trouble with it....

As with every year, it’s not until the last minute that I realise that I don’t have a single merry photo of Dozer and I to send out to wish everyone Happy Holidays. And so the annual Christmas-selfie-ritual takes place: I gasp with dismay, and in amongst the whirlwind of last minute Christmas baking, present wrapping and deliveries, I hustle Dozer outside for a “quick” selfie before scurrying off to another Christmas gathering....

Serve with crostini or crackers (try these homemade fruit & nut crackers!). Baked Brie Baked Brie is, quite simply, the best melted cheese in the world.

But cheese addiction aside, here’s the practical reason why Baked Brie needs to be on your radar: It’s the world’s easiest appetiser / party starter!...

About “Dinner” cookbook “The food you want to cook, eat and share, night after night”, aptly named “Dinner” (no exclamation mark, much to my dismay), this cookbook contains over 130 recipes plus 44 sides, sauces and other extras. Pretty hefty – bigger than typical cookbooks! What is pre-ordering? It means that a copy of my cookbook will be reserved for you just in case it sells out (imagine that! 😱). Plus you will enjoy the convenience of having it delivered directly to you when it becomes available on 11 October 2022!...

Caprese salad is a brilliant example of Italian genius-ness: combining a few simple ingredients that go together so well it makes you want to do the happy dance with every bite. Just tomato, buffalo mozzarella/bocconcini, basil and balsamic vinegar. I’m in the syrupy balsamic camp, but plain is fine too! I make Caprese salad on platters to serve as a shared appetizer. I thread it onto skewers for finger food....

Carrot Cake Cupcakes Let’s firstly get one thing out of the way: The presence of carrot in these cupcakes is not so much about shoe-horning in virtuous vegetables or even flavour. It’s not carrot-y (is that a word?) at all. It doesn’t even contribute to colour. So then, why add carrot? The answer is it gives the crumb that signature tenderness without crumbling all over the place because it softens as it bakes....

Here’s a fresh take on meatloaf for you! Made with chicken and encased in golden, flaky puff pastry, this is simple and fast to make. And it looks impressive! Don’t you think? 🙂 I did warn you that I was a puff pastry fiend and this is further evidence of that. I always, ALWAYS have a packet in my freezer and it’s my “go to” for making almost anything a bit more interesting....

Did you have to look twice to make sure they really are bread crusts? Yes, they are! A couple of weeks ago, I shared my savoury solution to getting through a ridiculously large bag of bread crusts that were stockpiled in my freezer – Parmesan and Thyme Bread Crust Treats. Today I’m sharing the sweet version. “They taste like cinnamon doughnuts, only crunchy and a whole lot healthier and faster to make!...
