Here’s the promised Sweet n’ Sour Peanut Sauce recipe we served with sticky roast vegetables and sorghum last night. It has so many uses beyond sticky vege & grains though, I make a batch most weeks to go with buckwheat noodles or Thai chicken salad…
Quinoa, courgettes, succulent chicken and a sauce boosted by kale and pistachio give this green pasta a star quality. I whip up a batch of kale pesto every other week and it makes enough for at least three meals (look out for the pizza…
While in Seattle this time I bought 6 cookbooks instead of clothes and shoes (much better for my soul). I don’t often cook from them (I’m not disciplined enough to follow a recipe) but love being surrounded by beautiful covers on my shelves and…
I made these a few weekends ago when we discovered limes at $3 per kilo and decided we’d have a Mexican night that afternoon. (Pity the avos weren’t so cheap!) Complete with Mezcal (smoked tequila) margs we were determined to use as many limes…

BBQ season in our household is officially underway! We had a false start last weekend, promising our daughter Gwynnie her first BBQ of the season only to be huddled inside by 5pm. Needless to say we had much better success this Sunday. I’ve partnered…
