Rustic No-Knead Peasant Bread Recipe
At the start of all the pandemic stockpiling madness I was very superior about other people’s supermarket meltdowns. I had just received my regular delivery of 48 toilet paper rolls from Who Gives a Crap, a supply which lasts for over 3 months. My toilet paper situation was well under control so the videos of…

Best Sydney picnic – Ricotta, kale and walnut pesto sandwich recipe
I have a bit of a love hate relationship with my home city of Sydney. In the hate camp, is the fact, that the city is overpriced, congested, mindlessly pro-developer and money obsessed. On the love side, parts of it are just so heart meltingly beautiful you forget about all the bad stuff. Sydney is…

Herb Crusted Tofu Sandwich Recipe – Delicious Vegetarian Schnitzel
I was a bit dubious when I first made these herb crusted tofu triangles; I didn’t think they would work with the tofu flavoured only by the herb crust.

A couple of months ago when I was on my road trip through rural NSW, I had a vegetarian Cornish pastie from a bakery cafe and it was one of the worst things I’ve eaten for a long time – dense with potatoes, bland and stodgy. To add insult to injury, my brother said the…

La Pizza Rossa Recipe: Tessa Kiros’s Hearty and Satisfying Deep Dish Pizza
If the world has been engaged in a pizza war – thin against thick crust it would seem the thin crust has won decisively, Neapolitan-style pizza rules and the deep-dish square pizza is decidedly passé.
