It is Halloween in Australia, and peak of the pumpkin season. Roasted pumpkin seeds are a hugely healthy and totally addictive snack. And they are so easy.
We are harvesting the first macadamias of the season, and by the look of our trees it will be a good year. And the basil…
I’m harvesting squash, tomatoes and capsicum from the garden, so this is my current favourite breakfast.
The picture doesn’t really do justice to the hearty, spicy, creamy goodness of this. It is one of my favourite breakfasts, and so fast and easy I often make it just for me.
This post is the basics of growing, storing and cooking beans. Beans are one of my real staples – super easy to grow, prolific, a good source of protein, soluble fiber, folate and a whole range of minerals, and the basis for a big range of recipes
This is another of my favourite summer salads. This salad holds relatively well, so it’s a good one to take to a barbeque or make ahead of time. Goes really well with barbequed fish.
After floods followed by heat wave, my garden has practically no leafy greens in it. But that’s ok. Summer salads need more crunch and cool than leaf-based salads anyway. This is one of my favourite summer salads, great with anything on a barbeque.
Super simple, and very yummy on sourdough with tomato and black pepper.
Perfect party finger food. The recipe makes about 20 tartlets.
Beans are like octopus – they need to be cooked either very fast or very slow.
