Recipe: Tomato and Olive Tapenade Spaghetti

Unfortunately there is no photo to show off this quick and scrumptious dish, but I’m sure I’ll be able to redo this soon and put one up.
This recipe came about after having quite a few hydroponic tomatoes needing to be used.  In this new house, I cannot stand to waste any food and when I [...]

Recipe: Vegetarian Tagine

Can I just say that this recipe is oh-so-gorgeous! This is my first attempt of cooking with a tagine as I just bought one to use on my new oven. With the tagine, I received quite a few spices from different parts of the world. Taking a look at each one, I [...]

Recipe: Cold Garlic and Chilli Broccoli Salad

This recipe is a tribute to vege2go’s version of garlic broccoli salad. I absolutely love the cold broccoli, which I didn’t think I would. Who would really eat broccoli cold? Can you think of anything worse? I tell you, don’t knock it, until you’ve tried it! It’s absolutely delicious and coming [...]

Recipe: Green Masala Chickpea Soup

Apologies for the lack of photos lately, but I’m in the middle of a move. In fact, this post may be the last post for a couple of weeks due to not having an Internet connection – I’ll have to see how it all goes, but wish me luck!
This recipe came about after wanting [...]

Recipe: Vegetarian Meaty-loaf

Wanted a meat loaf but just never been able to get the meat-part right? I have the answer for you!
The other day my mum was making a real meatloaf for dinner for herself and my dad. So I decided last minute that I would make a vegetarian version myself. Following a similar [...]

Recipe: Creamy Red Pepper & Chilli Soup

Firstly, just so everyone is aware there is absolutely no use of CREAM in this dish! However, it tastes creamy and you will be asked whether there is actually cream been placed in the soup – I certainly did.
This delightful soup has all the makings of a indulgent meal without the calories! The [...]

Recipe: Home-made Naans

This is not a true naan dish.  I do not own a tandoor dish, where naans are deliciously made next to tandoori chicken.  Unfortunately I don’t own one and I don’t think I ever will.  BUT, these naans are for those, like me, that don’t have a tandoori oven handy.  They taste like the next [...]

Recipe: Chilli Paneer

I love my chilli paneer!  I’ve already got one recipe on here for it, but I have to admit, this one, is better!  It’s also a little more fattening too.  If you don’t mind that, give this a go!
This chilli paneer recipe has a crispy batter just like the version at Aangan in Footscray – [...]

Recipe: Nan’s Curry

(It’s another not-so-great photo taken with my iphone – it was made the same day as the coconut cream pikelets!)
It was my grandmother’s birthday last month and it has been a few years since she passed away, but I still miss her everyday. She was an absolutely great person, great grandmother and an absolutely [...]

Recipe: Coconut Cream Pikelets

Apologies for the not-so-great photo, it’s taken with my iphone!  This recipe was thrown together after wanting to make some quick coconut roti-type pikelets to have with my curry and I have to say these are a great little treat!  They are a little softer than your normal pancake mixture and absolutely-must be dried through [...]
