Recipe

These delightful moist fruity muffins make a wholesome breakfast option or nourishing afternoon snack. Leave the skin on your pears for extra fibre and nutritional goodness.

This combination of flavours is both fun and nutritious. You can use this recipe to use up any veggies at the end of a week and you can add protein of your choice to make it a complete meal.

A combination of fresh, sweet, summer pineapple, balanced with the slight tartness of the apples.

Nothing screams summer more than mangos and prawns in Australia. A simple lime dressing in this salad lets the prawns and mango shine. If prepping the salad in advance, drizzle a little lime juice on the avocado to slow the browning process. Citrus fruits naturally contain citric acid, which works against oxygen to slow down the browning process.

An easy meal prep lunch or a lazy salmon patty Sunday, filled with pantry staples and lots of flavour.

Lobster tails are a summer barbeque treat my family loves. The shell protects the flesh as they barbeque, so it stays juicy and plump.

Let the seafood shine in this simple spaghetti marinara. Try to buy local sustainable seafood at your local fishmonger/market wherever possible. I love adding a chili kick in my marinara mix with the addition of some chili flakes or paste.

Bite-size bursts of summer flavour and texture to impress your guests, but easy and quick to put together.

This dish is a light starter with fresh, earthy flavours.

As we leave our property, we drive past row after row of cherry trees. For the last couple of months each year, every trip is spent peering through the trees, judging the growth and abundance of the year’s cherry crop and, most importantly, checking if they will be ripe for Christmas. To not eat cherries at Christmas is unthinkable, so I had to include them in this delicious finish to our Christmas menu.

This rich chocolate fudge Christmas wreath looks a bit fussy to make, but it couldn’t be easier. It is rich and chocolatey, so a little goes
a very long way.

I live surrounded by apple orchards, so this is the perfect festive salad for my family. I buy my apples and juice from a roadside stall not two minutes from my home — but you can get yours at the supermarket. This salad is fresh and light, perfect for a hot summer feast.
