Crunchy Kale, Red Cabbage, and Apple Slaw Recipe
About six weeks ago, I made a double batch of vegetarian party sausage rolls for a friend’s son’s sixth birthday. I had made these sausage rolls for the first time the previous year for his fifth birthday, and had under-estimated the baking time, plus the cross-city Saturday morning traffic, so arrived at Centennial Park after…

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

Perfect Greek Village Salad Recipe

Eggless Indian Savory Shortbread Recipe: Khara Biscuits for Tea Time
I love dunking biscuits in tea but I get a bit sick of sweet biscuits, so these Indian khara biscuits are perfect for a savoury dunking experience. Indian vegetarians don’t eat eggs – their baked goods tend to be ‘eggless’ but not vegan, as dairy is used. Some Indian cooks use vegetable shortening in these…

Late October and early November in Sydney, the weather is changeable but in the past few years, the weather shifts have been more extreme. Last week, we went from fiercely hot, bush fire days with the air filled with smell of ash in the air, to super storms and snow in the mountains, and the…

Fluffy Cuban Mojo Sauce Recipe for Grilled Asparagus
Asparagus is particularly good at the moment with nice juicy, fat stems that are perfect for grilling. For years, I blanched asparagus and then refreshed them in iced water before dressing them, but last year, I discovered the joy of just baking, sauteeing or throwing them on the barbie, which makes fresh asparagus a snap…
