Refreshing Appetizer for Summer: Joanne Weir’s Cucumber and Feta Salad
Easter is early this year and just when our thoughts should be turning to chocolate and baking, Sydney is having an unseasonably hot spell of weather. The Easter holidays are just days away, I know I will feel compelled to eat some chocolate this weekend but, unless we get some kind of cool change, I…

Chocolate Pudding Recipe: Simple, Eggless, and Delicious
I’m not much of a dessert person, it’s not that I’m ideologically opposed to them (we all need a bit of sweetness in our lives) it’s just that I tend to over eat on the savoury course and can’t be bothered with sweets. I guess I’m not gastronomically balanced enough to fit dessert in. I…

Homemade Refried Black Beans and Zhoug with Red Cabbage Slaw
I’ve had a bit of a disastrous week on the cooking front. On the weekend, I tried to make a strawberry layer cake from the Smitten Kitchen blog. Deb’s recipes are usually foolproof and this cake, called a Pink Lady Cake, is so gorgeously pink and princessy: I’ve been wanting to make it since I…

Vegan Spinach Zucchini and Pea Fritters: Karen Martini Recipe
When I was a kid, fritters were an easy Sunday night meal. My mother always made two kinds: lamb fritters, made with leftover lamb from the roast the night before, and corn fritters (with creamed tinned corn). We ate them with tomato sauce – that was pretty much dinner and, I have to say, I…

Delicious and Nutritious Cuban Black Beans Recipe with Turkish Carrot Pilaf
It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly why Cuban black beans taste so good. They’re incredibly easy to make, cheap and you can easily make a big pot of them and feed a crowd. Just eating them makes you feel like your doing yourself a healthy favour, but not in some dour low-fat, heavy wholemeal kind of…
