Paleo Hacks

This is chapter 3 of my best-selling novel “Zucchini Pretending To Be Things Other Than Zucchini”. So after brownies and zoodles, this cheeky veg has only gone and become fries. And damn delicious fries at that.

So you watched ‘What the Health?’ And now you’re thinking “what the Hell am I going to eat now that I’ve turned vegan for the next 2 weeks or until I get drunk and eat a kebab at 3am”? Well don’t stress, I’ve knocked up a family fave so you can...

Ain’t no thing like a chicken wing! This recipe is based off one of the first things I learned how to cook when I was a kid, but they were chicken legs and, wait for it, they were cooked in the microwave. Foul (see what I did there?) But hey, it...

Every Aussie kid that grew up in a country town will tell you that the local Chinese restaurant was as exotic as eating out ever got. Mongolian Beef, so fancy. Chicken Chow Mein, oh la la. And behold the piece de resistance….the fried ice-cream...

So at least once a week the husband and I have the same conversation. Me: “what do you want for dinner”? Him:”something I can eat with just a spoon”. Like a knife and fork is so much hassle…. Anyway, like the good wife I am, I usually concede and...

Ola Senors and Senoritas! Hands up if you like meat on a stick?! Yup, thought so. These spicy little Moorish mofos are a bit of a go-to for me because they tick all the boxes we like….delicious, simple ingredients and bloody easy to knock together,...

I used to hate Brussels Sprouts. The way my nanna used to boil those tiny, farty cabbages up whole and serve them in all their bitter glory made my gag reflex go into overdrive. As an adult, (questionable), I love them. Probably down to the fact...

“Hey Shazza! Fancy a schnitty down the Rissole this sarv?” (Australian proverb). I always fancy a schnitty and now you can whip them up at home, minus the crap bread crumbs and all the grease. Don’t be a princess about there being a couple of steps...

Some people like to decorate cupcakes, I save my kitchen Picasso moments for my bad-ass salads. You’ll be surprised what you can get people to eat if you make it look pretty (there is a dirty joke begging to be made here, but I’ll keep it clean)....

Sometimes you get an idea, you try it out, the planets align, and you just simply nail it first go. There was high fives and golf claps in my little kitchen when this deliciousness came together, along with much oohing and aahing from my fellow...
