This has just been awarded a nose worthy award at “Impressed by your Beauty!” View the flickr group here.

There’s a place in my home town in Melton called Ruby’s that makes a great Margherita base for their pasta. Although, this is not exactly the same, it’s pretty close! What’s unique about their margherita [...]

With the dramatic weather change in Melbourne, we’ve gone from extreme heat to freezing weather. With this, I’ve began creating my soups again and I’ve really been looking forward to it.
Soups are simple to make and you can make a bulk load! The one available this week is great for all of this, [...]

Updated: This has just been awarded the weekly winner of the Golden Gnome award for “Best Main Course” on Make Me Hungry’s flickr group. View here.

This unique pasta was adapted from a recipe from “Twelve” by Tessa Kiros. It’s a light Summer pasta and it’s a little on the sweeter side, although no [...]

Who wants a boring salad every day for lunch? Certainly not me!
Having Good Friday off and with a little time up my sleeve, I pondered into my stocks and grabbed a can of chickpeas. I thought a nice burger would be great and not impact the calories too much, as the ingredients together [...]

I make a few different versions of carbonara for vegetarians but this one is definitely a first and it won’t be the last!
UK food programs use a lot of cream fraiche and it’s something that’s not found in every supermarket over here. King Island Dairy make a version which you can find near your [...]

Firstly Happy Easter everyone. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable one.
My first week in the job was great, I went off to training and learnt a little about the new CMS I’ll be managing. Food-wise it was a little hard to keep eating properly, as I had training in the city [...]

These delicious fries are better than the real thing! I was able to find some ready-made polenta in a local supermarket but it’s sooo easy to make that it doesn’t matter if you can’t find it at yours.
I’ve served this with some parmesan crusted asparagus and a vegetarian parmigiana. The whole meal went [...]

70% of those that have filled this week’s poll in cook their own food at home. 10% equally share the load, can’t cook or occasionally cook in their kitchen at home.
I would take a home-cooked meal over take-away any day and get very annoyed when I head to a restaurant and the meal I’m [...]

This meal is a take on the Spanish Chorizo, Bacon and Potato tapas.  Using the combination in a pasta with some parmesan is a good combination of protein and carbohydrates.  To allow for a vegan version, use some vegan cheese or omit it altogether.
This version has been lowered in calories by steaming the potatoes before [...]

We’ve been going through a little heat wave in Melbourne lately and who really wants a heavy meal for dinner during this time?  I know I don’t.  Unfortunately, you don’t want a barbecue everynight and with sport, it’s not possible to do that.  You need carbs, well I do.
This recipe combines a light meal with [...]
