  • Sweet potato and goat's cheese balls

    Sweet potato and goat's cheese balls

    The challenge with “meatballs” containing spinach and sweet potato is most definitely the moisture.  Squeezing the wilted spinach well is obviously required.  But the potato is trickier.  Leaving the mashed…

  • Spaghetti Bolognese

    Spaghetti Bolognese

    What a boring thing to be documenting… Well yes, but let’s be honest, Spaghetti Bolognese is almost everyone’s favourite and refining the house recipe is a truly noble cause.  And…

  • Grilled polenta and veggie mess

    Grilled polenta and veggie mess

    Concocted from the left-overs of the previous night’s polenta, poured into a tray while still hot and left to cool then sliced into adorable triangles.  The general consensus is that…

  • Polenta and pickled roots

    Polenta and pickled roots

    I was somewhat nonplussed by the individual parts of this recipe as I was cooking.  The polenta was fine, albeit uninspiring; roast pickled veg wasn’t blowing my mind; and the…

  • Spiced Cauliflower Soup

    Spiced Cauliflower Soup

    This is a lovely warming soup, quick, easy and cheap to make in bulk.  Perhaps I’d turn down the heat a notch, but then on another day this could easily…

  • Slow-cooked Sausage Casserole

    Slow-cooked Sausage Casserole

    This is an unbelievably simple recipe, with only 5 ingredients in the casserole.  There is no depth of flavour here in truth, there are certainly modifications you could make to…

  • Turkey Schnitzel

    Turkey Schnitzel

    This whole thing was a powerful collection of flavours, picked chillies and artichoke hearts, anchovies and capers. They ride close to the edge, but it’s delicious and really brought all…
