Spiced Red Lentil and Vegetable Soup
/
Using lentils makes for the most delicious soups and they’re budget friendly too. This is a great soup for people who are in need of healing - the ginger and spices give it real warmth.
For me it is essential to serve it with a dollop of natural yoghurt.
Pickled Radishes - Pretty in Pink!
/
Pretty in pink indeed are pickled radishes. Grab a couple of bunches of rosy pink radishes in season and preserve their goodness, crunch and colour for another day. Pickled radishes are the perfect addition to sandwiches, salads, vegetable dishes and curries, and are a delicious match for grilled seafood. Pickling is quite a simple thing to do and the resulting display of colourful jars in your pantry makes it a most rewarding task.

A chocolate lovers delight, this cake is rich, delicious and gluten free. A wonderful choice for afternoon tea, dessert or as a birthday cake. I like to serve it with a simple fruit coulis or vanilla bean ice cream or both!
Read MoreCarrot, Walnut and Date Spice Cake
/
I created this recipe to give people an alternative to using butter and sugar in baking.
Using olive oil as the fat source, and fresh dates and the maple syrup as the sweetener, produces a lovely moist and nutritious carrot cake. The mascarpone icing is optional, unless of course it is a celebration cake and then it is a must.
Twelve sleeps til Christmas!
/
So this year I’ll not be doing the cooking, baking, preserving and making of gifts – instead I’m simmering stocks, stewing fruit, making chicken soup and rhubarb crumble, to help nourish and heal the very, very brave patient. Grateful for the gift of being able to have Christmas with mum, I’ve decided to outsource the making of our gifts this year. The criteria for choosing what to give is simple, they’ll still be handmade with love, from small family-owned Australian and local businesses, many founded and owned by our dear friends. With just twelve sleeps til Christmas, I thought you might like to know what twelve things are on my list to give!
Read MorePickled Cucumbers
/
It was Mr G’s love of both gherkins (baby cucumbers) and pickled onions, served as an afternoon snack on crackers with vintage cheddar that introduced me to enjoying these pickled delicacies. The pickle had been the very thing I would extract and discard from my burger, but now I enjoy them and delight in pickling and bottling my own.
