Israeli salad with crispy-skinned salmon

This delicious salad is simply bursting with fresh summer flavours. Ripe, juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers and sweet red onion are the three key ingredients, to which red and yellow peppers are mixed together with a good serving of fresh mint and parsley.

Shakshuka

There are certain words that I simply love the sound of. Onomatopoeia. Mellifluous.

Sautéed mushrooms with creamy polenta

Being winter here in Sydney, unsurprisingly I’ve had a craving for hearty, comfort food and over the past few months I’ve made a few of my ‘go to’ comfort foods… including some lovely soups and stews.  But earlier this month I was feeling a little bored with the usual fare, so turned to my collection […]
