Molly Wizenberg’s Granola No. 5 Recipe: Simple, Savory, and Magical
I haven’t baked granola at home for years. I used to make it occasionally when I was in my twenties and it was good, but there were so many ingredients – it was such bother and hassle that I ended up wondering if it was worth it. Then, for a time about 15 years ago,…

Authentic Vegetarian Dan Dan Noodles Recipe
Dan dan noodles are traditionally made with pork or beef mince and drenched in the incredibly spicy Sichaun chilli oil. This vegetarian version uses ground tofu and shitake mushroom in place of the meat. The version I actually make is a little ‘dumbed down’, because I leave out the Sichuan chilli oil. My one and…

Healthy Brown Rice Bowl with Mushroom, Tofu, and Wombok Slaw
That’s it: I’m officially over chocolate for the next month at least. Even the thought of baking anything sweet makes me blanch a little. Easter was lovely and all that, and because of its lateness this year, it even collided with the Greek Orthodox Easter, rolled on into Anzac day (not a favourite holiday of…

Mark Bittman’s Congee-Inspired Savoury Porridge Recipe
Although I love breakfast food, the breakfast food I love most is that special-occasion-Sunday-brunch kind of food that you just can’t eat on a regular weekday because it’s either too rich or too time consuming to make. As a general rule, I tend to be a savoury unami person and so, a lot of the…

It’s autumn and pomegranate season in Sydney. I can see quite a few pomegranate trees as I walk round my suburb, with the over-ripe fruit splitting open and dropping to the ground. None of my local trees are conveniently located near the fence, so I haven’t been able to harvest any of my suburb’s bounty…

Spicy Citrusy Black Beans Recipe for Vegetarian Family Meals
It’s autumn in Sydney and while it’s still hot during the day, there’s a refreshing chill in the air in the mornings and evenings, and the intense humidity and monsoonal rains of March have eased off. I was going to post these black beans last week but when I checked my pantry, I discovered to…

Delicious Corn Pakoras: A Recipe for Vegan Fritters
A few weeks ago, I wanted to use up some corn, so I threw together some pakora batter, lightly spiced it, chopped up some red onion, coriander and corn, and deep fried them… and, it was like, man, crazily delicious! I don’t think I’ve made pakoras for years and it was like re-discovering the best…

Tips for Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’ve been in a bit of a dilemma about even posting this recipe. I mean, there must a zillion recipes for chocolate chip cookies on the internet, and does the world really need another one? This recipe also originally comes from the back of a Cadbury milk chocolate chip packet, so it’s not like it…

Luxurious Brown Rice Salad with Caramelised Onion and Currants
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. There is nothing faintly hippyish, dour or self-consciously wholesome about this…
