Winter roast lamb with pears, potatoes and beans
My taller half took a trip to Establishment 218 on Saturday while I was in class and considering the weather was absolutely dreadful I decided to make a roast out of two lamb mini roasts he had bought. I dressed the lamb with garlic, rosemary and anchovies then roasted it on 180ºC on the lowest…
Tasty guacamole snack
I was starving after a trip to the markets on Sunday afternoon and whipped up this tasty snack with one of the beautiful avocados I bought. 1 avocado – mashed with a fork 2 tablespoons coriander – finely chopped 1/2 spanish onion – finely diced 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1/2 teaspoon chili powder squeeze of lime…
Crunchy polenta coated ricotta arancini balls
I made these for a ‘pot luck’ dinner I’m going to at a friends house tonight. They were ideal for making ahead and keeping in the fridge ready to be heated up in the oven for 10 minutes when I get there. For added gluten-free joy I substituted breadcrumbs for polenta. The result is VERY…
Coq au vin and potatoes roasted in duck fat
Well, it’s winter and the desire for stewy slow cooked rich flavours has definitely kicked in. I’ve been dying to make Coq au vin for quite some time so a free lazy Sunday was a great opportunity to fulfill this mission. I sourced some free range mixed chicken pieces and used our first attempt at…

Vegetarian stuffed baby pumpkin with a side of halloumi
So my taller half’s mum has an amazing fruit and vegetable garden on her small farm and she recently gave us some of the cutest little pumpkins I’ve ever seen. It seemed a crime to cut them up so I opted for baking them whole and stuffing them. I went for a red quinoa based…
Spelt sourdough, prosciutto, fig, tomato and boiled egg breakfast
This was breakfast on the morning of our checkout. I had to use up the remainder of the figs which had been eaten with vanilla bean gelato so I sautéd those with baby truss tomatoes and served them on the side with some toasted sourdough topped with prosciutto and boiled eggs. Poached eggs, again, would…
