Peng’s Home-Style Tofu Recipe | Hunanese Cuisine | Chinese Vegan Dish
This is another recipe from one of Fuchsia Dunlop’s wonderful scholarly cookbooks on Chinese food – The Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook. This book concentrates on the food of the Hunan province, which was Mao Zedong’s home province, so it is this style of cooking that features in many Chairman Mao’s favorite dishes. During the ‘great…

Vegan Fasolatha Soup – Greek Recipe with White Beans
I love it when the weather gets cooler and we can just have soup for dinner. We all love soup in our house but I love it the most because it is a complete one pot meal, which can stretch over two nights and even a lunch or two. Fasolatha is one of those simple…

Ultimate Slow Cooked Chickpeas by Ottolenghi
I use canned chickpeas a lot, for their ease and convenience, and they are perfectly fine and good, but something happens when you take the extra trouble to soak and cook your own chickpeas that turns this humble store cupboard staple into something extraordinary.

Vegan Moustakouloura: Ancient Greek Grape-Must Cookies Recipe
I’ve recently come to the conclusion that the Greeks make the best cookies in the world. If you want to call them by their Greek names, they are real tongue twisters and difficult to pronounce, but they are simply the best. If you are a ‘dunker’ (as all our family are), they are great for…

Karen Martini’s Spring Time Minestrone Primavera
Late October and early November in Sydney, the weather is changeable but in the past few years, the weather shifts have been more extreme. Last week, we went from fiercely hot, bush fire days with the air filled with smell of ash in the air, to super storms and snow in the mountains, and the…

Fire Roasted Tomato and Mint Salsa Recipe
We’ve just got back from a week-long beach holiday and one of the great things about Forster, the town we were holidaying in, was it had a great fruit and vegetable shop – The Farmer’s Patch, which sources most of its fruit and vegetables locally. You can always spot the urbanised city foodies because we…
