Special Occasion Homemade Oreo Cookies Recipe
View recipe: Special Occasion Homemade Oreo Cookies RecipeI’ve made these oreos for years, ever since I first bookmarked the recipe on Smitten Kitchen in 2007. In all the time I’ve made oreos, I don’t think I’ve ever made a single batch, I’ve always doubled the recipe. These are party, special occasion cookies and a single batch doesn’t cut it when you have…

Winter Salad Recipe: Spiced Sweet Potato, Puy Lentil, Rocket & Honey Walnuts
View recipe: Winter Salad Recipe: Spiced Sweet Potato, Puy Lentil, Rocket & Honey WalnutsThis is a wonderful winter salad with its warming spices, and the honey-roasted walnuts are stupendously good. Make a double batch of the walnuts, because they are good to snack on: throw into other salads or as a spicy sweet topping on yoghurt and fruit for breakfast. I made this salad on the weekend for…

Spicy Spelt and Olive Oil Pumpkin Bread Recipe | Breakfast Cake
View recipe: Spicy Spelt and Olive Oil Pumpkin Bread Recipe | Breakfast CakeCould pumpkin bread be the new banana bread? It seems to be replacing banana bread on the breakfast menus of Sydney’s best cafes. The first time I tried pumpkin bread was at my favorite Sydney cafe, West Juliett in Marrickville. I shared a slice with a friend as we on the way to the airport,…

View recipe: Peng’s Home-Style Tofu Recipe | Hunanese Cuisine | Chinese Vegan DishThis is another recipe from one of Fuchsia Dunlop’s wonderful scholarly cookbooks on Chinese food – The Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook.

Perfect Greek Village Salad Recipe
View recipe: Perfect Greek Village Salad RecipeGreek salad is something I’ve eaten a lot of over the years. It’s a classic salad that I love, but when I order it out at restaurants it’s more often then not, a disappointment, made with second rate feta and flavorless tomatoes. When I make a Greek salad at home it’s something I would never…

Simply Delicious Wholemeal Cinnamon Snacking Cake Recipe
View recipe: Simply Delicious Wholemeal Cinnamon Snacking Cake RecipeI have a slightly ambivalent relationship with cake. I mean, I like cake well enough but I don’t love it. If I’m going to make something sweet, I prefer to bake some cookies because they have a longer shelf life and they don’t require the commitment of cake. Once you bake a cake, you really…

Kim Boyce’s Oatmeal Pancakes Recipe | Nutritious and Satisfying
View recipe: Kim Boyce’s Oatmeal Pancakes Recipe | Nutritious and SatisfyingEven though I’ve had a mainly vegetarian diet for many years, I’ve never really been much of a wholegrain type of vegetarian. Perhaps this has been a reaction to the overly virtuous, heavily wholemeal vegetarian food of the 1970s and ’80s. Recently, so many different flours and ancient grains have become readily available that it’s…

Paschalina koulourakia: Greek Easter biscuits
View recipe: Paschalina koulourakia: Greek Easter biscuitsEaster is my favourite festival of the year. With our history as a British colonial outpost, Australians have long suffered through Christmas, maintaining northern hemisphere food traditions in the boiling heat of summer. The translation of a northern springtime Easter to a southern hemisphere autumn makes much more sense though. Eating loads of chocolate in…

Vegan Fasolatha Soup – Greek Recipe with White Beans
View recipe: Vegan Fasolatha Soup – Greek Recipe with White BeansI 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…
