‘they shouldn’t taste this good’ vegetable side

Meat and veg. Easy. Healthy. And really tasty with this simple recipe. Cook all the vegetables together in one pot to save on washing up. If you use pumpkin and overcook it a little it goes mushy and spreads over the other vegies. Yum. A favourite I had forgotten about for a while.

caramelised onion frittata

I know, I’m not the best food photographer ever, but this frittata tastes so great that I know you will forgive the photography. The original recipe was to make a quiche so if you prefer, line a pie tin with pastry for a quiche. It also included prosciutto, but I’ve always eaten this vegetarian. This [...]

broccoli and cauliflower gratin

Last week I wrote about the ease and versatility of a basic white sauce. This recipe is a combination of the white sauce, cheese and vegetables. I have used broccoli and cauliflower, but you can use any vegetables you like. A nice accompaniment to meat when you want to add a little pizzazz to your [...]

balsamic roasted vegetables with quinoa

It’s so hard to give quantities when writing these recipes, because I don’t measure, I just slosh a bit of this in and a bit of that, taste and adjust. If I feel like a bit of sweetness, I might add a bit more honey. Or I might leave it out altogether. If we’re particularly [...]

cauliflower soup

Cauliflower soup is a wonderfully moreish and filling winter soup. To give you an idea of how much cauliflower it requires, I bought a large head of cauliflower for this soup, but only needed about half. This was our Sunday night easy dinner (I made the soup the night before while the roast chook was [...]

roast pumpkin and feta pasta

This pasta dish is a family favourite. Sweet and salty is one of my favourite taste combinations. For the die hard meat eater, this dish would also be nice with some chicken breast tossed through. Just slice and brown through before cooking the onions, then add it back in with the spinach or rocket at [...]

roast vegetable pate

I admit that the photo doesn’t look all that appetising, but this recipe is actually quite tasty. And as a bonus it is healthy and quick to make. I would say it is also quite inexpensive, but as someone has poisoned the winter crops up north, tomatoes and eggplants are going to get a little [...]

carrot, sweet potato and cumin soup

Carrot, sweet potato and cumin soup – a little different but still very inexpensive.

lemon and thyme roasted vegetables with cous cous

This recipe was inspired by a Woman’s Weekly Vegetarian recipe that roasted autumn vegetables with whole, cut lemons, rosemary and garlic. The sharp flavours of the lemon and garlic go nicely with the buttery comfort of the cous cous, but this dish would be nice served with quinoa also.

Mushrooms In Creamy Rosemary Sauce

A quick, tasty and veratile mushroom sauce that’s on the plate in no time and has you looking like a star in the kitchen.
