Sweet & Spicy Chinese Eggplant

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 ball…. Mind you...

Sri Lankan Chicken Curry

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 make a meal that...

Spring Roll Bowl

I bloody love a spring roll, but those little grease sticks aren’t exactly health food. I mean they start off alright, with their innards a mix of meat and veggies, then it goes downhill with a wrapping made of flour and cornstarch, then plonked in a vat of bubbling...

Spiced Roast Cauliflower with Turmeric Dressing

So you’ve had yourself a merry little Christmas, now you feel a bit like 2017 Mariah and all you want for lunch is a salad. I hear you. Not just any old salad mind, a bowl of limp leaves sounds about as appealing as having to sit next to your handsy drunk uncle...

Lebanese Cinnamon Chicken & Rice

Lebanese Cinnamon Chicken & Rice

If you want my advice, don’t even think twice about making this chicken and rice with all  of the spice because is really, really nice! I know cauliflower rice has probably had its low-carb hey day, but I’m still coming up with ways to revamp it into something...

Larb Gai

Larb Gai

I’ve been lucky enough to have visited Thailand more times than I can remember. I love the beaches, the people, but above all the food! The perfect balance of sour, sweet, salty and bitter which results in some incredible taste sensations. Larb is one of my favourite...

Korean Meatballs

Korean Meatballs

”heeeeeeeeeeey sexy lady! Oh oh oh oh oh, Oppa is Gangnam style!”  Ha, sorry, you wont be able to get that song out of your head now. Unlike this annoying (yet strangely catchy) bit of K-pop, this dish will not be a one-hit wonder in your kitchen. The sweet and spicy...

Gemista

Gemista

Gemista from another mister. The ingredients list looks long, but I promise once the veg is prepped these are a breeze to knock together. And guess what? It’s vegan! So if you’ve jumped on that bandwagon after you watched some train wreck of a documentary on Netflix...

Eggplant Involtini

Eggplant Involtini

Vegan cashew cheese seems like a completely wanky and pretentious thing to make, but here we are. So if you’re looking to embrace meat-free Monday or trying to cut out dairy, you’ll get onboard with this tossbag of a task and try this recipe. It’s actually a pretty...

Coronation Chicken Salad

Coronation Chicken Salad

Yo Queenie, I just Paleofied your chicken salad and I’m not sorry one bit. To be honest, after the dodgy car crash, the toe-sucking Fergie and the ginger Grandson that looks waaaaay too much like someone that isn’t his dad, you’ve probably got more things to worry...

CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS

CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS

Well these guys are wing-diddly-licious and just as the Colonel said, finger-lickin’ good. No 11 secret herbs and spices here peeps. To be honest, I think that shady old geezer with the dodgy goatee is bullshitting about that little catchphrase. His chicken is...

Celeriac Risotto with Roast Pumpkin & Sage

Celeriac Risotto with Roast Pumpkin & Sage

Celeriac is like the Kylie Jenner of produce. Not born the most attractive of the vegetable sisters, but with a little peel, shred and process, she is now totally instagram ready. She works well as fake risotto (fauxsotto perhaps?), she doesn’t go mushy and is full of...

Caramelised Onion and Tomato Tart

Caramelised Onion and Tomato Tart

Well if I haven’t gone and got all inspired by this years little vacay to the South of France! While the vino is awesome the food is totes top notch as well, and this is my paleo take on their famous Provençal Tart. Feel free to add a salty element like olives or even...
