Retro-style Vegetarian Foie Gras: Lentil & Walnut Pâté Recipe
I spent Christmas and New Year with my family in Tasmania and, like all mainlanders, came back slightly besotted with the beauty of the island and the quality of the local food.

It is August and Sydney’s short winter is almost over and, because we’ve had a particularly mild winter this year, I feel like I haven’t really got into my stride with winter food.

I’ve been making this salad for years ever since I first cut out the recipe from the Sunday Life magazine. It’s a Karen Martini recipe and what I like best about it is the way she treats brown rice, in such a star-studded way.

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…

Claudia Roden’s – Moroccan Sweet Potato Salad with Green Olives
When I was a kid, my mum used to roast the purple-skinned, white-fleshed sweet potato, and the orange sweet potato or kumara was an exotic rarity. Kumara is now a staple of your average fruit and vegetable shop and it is almost impossible to find the old fashioned white sweet potato my mother used to…
