Need a warm-me-up for the footy or your local sporting event? This one tomato soup will definitely do the trick with a smack of chilli just to spice it up!

Recipe: Baba Ganoush Soup

Why do dips just need to be a snack? When’s something is that good, I like to try and find ways to turn them into something else without sabotaging the traditional flavours intended.  This traditionally Middle-Eastern dip, Baba Ganoush is just tha.  I’ve been able […]

Recipe: Porcini, Walnut & Baby Spinach Spaghetti

Are you getting a bit bored with your usual pasta dishes?  This recipe might just do the trick in renewing your interest in pasta by removing the normal tomato base and adding in some nuts!
Porcini mushrooms, are a favourite among the Italians and the lovely woody flavour blends well with the crunchiness of the nuts.  […]

Recipe: Potato, Corn and Leek Soup

I asked my mum what she’d like for soup this week and she said potato and leek. Not that I have anything against a traditional potato and leek soup, but I’ve made a couple and wanted something unique! So the challenge was to try and make something a little different and […]

Recipe: Eat Your Greens Pasta

As you get older, I’ve noticed that your taste changes! Why I’m saying this is because there’s some certain vegetables which I used to not be able to eat, but now can. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still some you will probably never find me making recipes for on this blog - cauliflower […]

Recipe: Curried Sweet Potato & Lentil Soup

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

Recipe: Italian Meatballs

Last week, I had an idea to make some italian meatballs on pasta and, although they turned out a little like hamburgers, they tasted quite good and I reckon worthy of putting up. Not only can these meatballs be used in this dish, but tried on their own as a burger. They’ve got a little […]

Recipe: Artichoke and Olive Fettucine

Before heading to the Western Bulldogs match against St.Kilda for a great win, my parents and I headed to Greco in Crown Casion for dinner. This place is always banked back with queues to get in and I always thought it was because of the grand display of cakes and desserts on offer, but, […]

Recipe: Black Bean Stir Fry Noodles

I was debating whether to post this recipe or not, as the photo itself is not the best.  What I’ve noticed is that I haven’t been able to take a good photo of noodles ever.  No matter what I do they never turn out!  However, it doesn’t mean that it lacks in the flavour!
What I […]

Recipe: Chickpea & Carrot Soup

This lovely soup has been made twice in two weeks, as I enjoyed it so much. The carrot and chickpeas blend in well, providing a lovely thick soup to have with some crusty bread.
It’s relatively easy to make by just adding all your ingredients and blending or mashing afterwards!
There’s a couple of ingredients that […]
