If I had to choose one style of meal however it would hands down, be a good soup. Just to give you a little more useless information, my soup preference is a chunky, nourishing one pot meal style with beans, veggies, protein, pasta, rice, herbs, tomato, stock etc. Basically, get a pot and empty the fridge in. Think minestrone with a lovely olive oil slick and fresh herb, any soup with pearl barley (yummy) or a good Asian style chicken, veg and noodle number.

Salad does not need to be a side dish. Salad can be the hero if you give it a chance. I threw this salad together for Easter and enjoyed it so much I wanted to share it with you all.

At times of celebration it’s handy to keep a few tricks up your sleeve. This simple brie topped with compote and served with artisan bread is just the ticket. Keep all items on hand and pull them out like a genius when friends drop by.

Layered Flourless Chocolate and Hazelnut Cake  w Roasted Cherry, Strawberry and Brandy Compote

All hail the rich decedent, boozy chocolate cake. Heaven on a Christmas table!

While this recipe is part of my Flourless Chocolate Hazelnut Chrissy Cake recipe, it can also stand alone. Bottle it and gift it to friends, serve it warm with ice cream, pop it on top of a lovely ripe brie or enjoy it in a croissant or crepe with cream. 

This five minute dip recipe has so many applications. Enjoy the Avocado Feta Whip on grilled bread with asparagus, incorporate it into rolls and sandwiches and top it with a ripe tomato salad. The inclusion of a generous amount of lemon juice means the whip will last without discolouring for days.

This Bravo Apple and Smoked Chicken Fresh Spring Roll is something I fell upon creating when I just happened to have the ingredients in the fridge and was looking for a way to use them up. They are seriously delicious and a perfect way to enjoy these glorious West Aussie apples!
