Delicious Indian Creamed Spinach Recipe
I love creamed spinach. I have fond memories of going to Cafe Scheherahzade in Melbourne during the eighties and feasting on their latkes and creamed spinach.

Homemade Spinach and Ricotta Rolls | Crowd-Pleasing Vegetarian Finger Food
I’ve eaten a lot of cheese and spinach rolls over the years, often from country town bakeries where they are, apart from a salad and cheese sandwich, the only savory vegetarian option on the menu.

Authentic Greek Spinach Pie Recipe – The Best Spanakopita
I don’t know what it is about Good Friday, perhaps it all that Christ death symbolism swirling round but it’s always a bit of a downer of a day. I always seem to feel unwell, with some kind of headache or even a full-blown migraine. This good Friday was no exception. I had a…

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…
