“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 in the prep and a...

Roast Cauliflower with Dates, Dill, Pistachios & Harissa Dressing
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). So next time you make...
Stuffed Eggplants with Cashew Cheese
Go and get stuffed! Just kidding, but I do insist you go and stuff your eggplants and then stuff your face with them. I’ll be honest, these started out as my version of a Greek dish I had on holidays, but I found the resulting mince mix a little bland for my discerning taste buds, […]
Zucchini and Carrot Fritters
When people get over the horror that I don’t start my day with a bowl of Crapflakes, they are always interested in what I eat for brekky. “Like, so, do you just eat bacon and eggs, like, everyday??” While that sounds delicious, even I need a breather from that piggy goodness.

Roast Pumpkin with Caramelised Onion & Cranberries
Need some ideas for veggies to put with your big old dirty bird this festive feast? Roast pumpkin? Pretty standard. But voila, chuck in some cranberries and you’ve Christmassed the shit out of it!
Spanish Chicken Casserole
While I’d like to say I tasted this dish in some awesome restaurant travelling through Spain last summer, that would be a lie. This dish was invented in my little Satwa kitchen, because I had some chorizo in my fridge that was edging close to its use-by date and...
Kale, Chicken and Pumpkin Salad with Tahina Dressing
Hi kale-haters! I'm back with another yummy recipe to try to change your mind. If Mr Smith asked me "what's for dinner?" and I answered "salad", he would look at me like I was a crazy person. But this isn't just any old rabbit food salad. I wouldn't do you like that....
Massaman Curry
There is a little restaurant in Bangkok called Ban Chiang which I visit every time I’m there. It’s quite an unexpected place considering its location, but it never disappoints. It’s in an old Thai house, surrounded by loads of greenery and serves the most kick-ass...
Nasi Goreng
I love Nasi Goreng. it brings back happy memories of our wedding week in Bali. I was some sort of Nasi Goreng monster that week. I swear I ate it every day, maybe sometimes twice a day. I was probably lucky I was still able to zip up my dress on the big day to […]
