Glowing Butternut Squash Soup
It’s not often that I post a recipe while I’m eating it. That’s why the photo is so utilitarian but it’s hot off the press folks and it’s a keeper, and while I have written in the past about ‘Sweet Chilli Pumpkin Soup….that recipe is more of a lazy-man’s […]
Pasta-free Lasagne
I want to call this paleo lasagne, but the truth is that I cheated and put a little mozzarella cheese on the top. However – if you’re strong enough to forgo the cheese, then yes, this would be a paleo meal, which means free from […]
Summer Greens Side
As promised, I’ve team up with Jo Randell from Perfect Friday Wine to deliver another smashing wine and food combination, and this time it’s a perfect recipe to whip up as a side to some spectacular piece of grilled meat or fish, or as a […]

Sweet Chilli Pumpkin Soup
This recipe has a special place in my heart. Years ago, I used to own and run a small cafe and sandwich bar with AT and Mum…it was called ‘On a Roll’…get it? Anyway, we had a lovely lady working for us called Kathy and she told […]
Chicken and Rice
I remember how this dish evolved from a rich red, paprika dish with skin-on chicken leg pieces to a light risotto style meal with breast pieces of chicken. Me and my brother remember the old one wistfully, like some mythical half-remembered dream of our childhood. Then my […]
