What’s your position on fresh vs frozen spinach? I love using fresh spinach in salads. But for dishes like this, when the spinach is cooked down and stirred into things, it just doesn’t make sense to me to use fresh spinach. You’d need at least 5 bunches (probably more!) of fresh spinach to make this. OR 1 box of frozen spinach. So for cost and efficiency reasons, I use frozen spinach in this....
It’s pretty as a picture! And the speckling part is FUN to do! Easter Cake I confess: I struggle for dessert ideas every year when Easter rolls around.

I think a French Vinaigrette is the very first salad dressing recipe I learned to make properly. When I say “properly”, I mean more than just drizzling a squeeze of lemon juice and olive oil over greens. Which there’s nothing wrong with doing, and I still certainly do that! I mean actually making a real proper salad dressing. I think this was my first. 🙂 The thing many people may not know about French Salad Dressings is that it keeps really well for up to 2 weeks....
Serve this Greek Lemon Rice with your favourite Greek food like Greek Chicken, Gyros Chicken, Greek Meatballs or Souvlaki!

Built-to-last CRISPY Honey Chicken “Dude, you’ve cracked it!” This was my brother’s response on first bite. What we thought to be an elusive “they-must-be-using-chemicals!” crispy puffy coating on Honey Chicken that stays crispy for hours and hours even coated in the sticky honey sauce … turns out anyone can make it at home without special ingredients or tools. And when I say “this stays crispy for hours”, I mean that it’s crispy even 4 hours after coating in sauce....

An essential for hot summer nights, quick mid week meals, make ahead lunches and gatherings! Italian Pasta Salad recipe I was inspired to make this because I went on a Salami Bender* after the Salami Cream Cheese Roll I shared a couple of weeks ago.

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Pork rub This recipe is one of those that I think of as a “life essential” because it’s an instant, no-brainer way to add bags of flavour to pan-fried pork. But I always hesitate to share it, thinking, “Meh! It’s too easy!” I mean, the recipe directions would be: “Mix. Use.” 😂 I’m joking. Well, sort of!...
COPYCAT QUESO DIP “I MUST try fake cheese dip!” I declared to Jo when I visited her in Calgary, Canada, earlier this month. “We don’t have it in Australia!” She wrinkled her nose and looked at me dubiously, trying to figure out if I was serious. Once she realised I was, she lead me to the astonishingly large range of fake cheese dips in the corn chip aisle at the supermarket....
I’ve been wanting to share this for ages! I’m bursting at the seams with recipe ideas, and it takes considerable constraint not to post a recipe every single day. 🙂 But for this one in particular, I wanted to wait until I had a handle on shooting cooking videos before I shared it. This method of starting a dish on the stove, the finishing it in the oven is a favourite of mine....

My Rules for How To Make the Perfect Nachos Rule #1: The Nachos Cheese Sauce ensures even coverage of cheesy goodness on every single chip which you simply can’t achieve just by using grated cheese. Unless you use an inordinate amount of it! Remember: A corn chip without cheese on it is just a chip – not nachos! Rule #2: Hot and cold must be separated. Never dump cold guacamole and sour cream on top of hot melted cheese....

What sets this sauce apart from your run-of-the-mill, basic Apple Sauce recipes? Starting with a caramel rather than just mixing sugar into the sauce. The result is a distinctly deeper, richer flavour in return for very little extra effort! This is a bonus recipe (along with Vermouth Jus, also a bonus recipe!) for a sauce to accompany Crispy Slow Roasted Pork Belly, the main recipe for today. The sauce is straightforward as they come, so I’m keeping it short and sweet!...
We completely bypassed Autumn here in Sydney. One week ago, I was still in short and thongs, splashing around in the surf with Dozer, just as I was back in December. But now, it’s freezing. Let me rephrase – cold by Sydney standards. “Cold” being 55F/13C. It will get colder as we get into the height of winter, but really, the truth is that even in winter, most days it’s as warm as spring....
