Baby Cos Salad with Peas & Haloumi

A month or so back our vegetable garden finally materialized after years of hype and speculation. It’s funny when you actually start something after so much procrastination and then you realize it’s not very hard at all. Anyway, this here baby cos (romaine) lettuce is our very first harvest and it’s taught me that if [...]

I had a version of this fabulous salad at the cafe in our office building the other day. I got myself into a right tizzy, having lost a good few hours work when my computer flaked out, and suddenly realized I was absolutely starving. The vegetarian fare can be a mixed bag at the cafe, [...]

Risotto with Roasted Tomatoberries & Pesto

Earlier this year I went through a phase where I thought risotto with pearled barley in place of rice was pretty cool. Actually it still is cool. I mean, pearled barley in risotto, it’s pretty cool. I just love the wholesome texture and earthiness it lends to the dish. I’m not sure exactly where I’m [...]

Honey Coconut Quinoa with Pomegranate

I’m not a morning person. I’m really, really not. I’ve always wanted to be one, to feel totally alive and inspired to start the day. Sometimes I even force myself to get up at first light and go for a run through the park – pretending like this is all normal and I’m totally fine, [...]

Five Grains & Herbs

The hero of this dish is my new favourite grain mix – it has equal parts red quinoa, white quinoa, black quinoa, amaranth, and short grain brown rice. It’s really a beautiful combination in terms of both appearance and taste. I love how the various textures balance one another: the soft white quinoa, the slightly [...]

I’ll admit that this here twist on caprese is not exactly revolutionary, but you need to see it from my perspective. Would you believe me if I told you that the first time I tried caprese was last year? Seriously guys. I blame it on my sheltered Christchurch upbringing. Although, there is every possibility I [...]

Warm Millet & Broccoli

Let me start by admitting I’ve not often cooked with millet in the past. When perusing the ancient super grain section of the bulk bins, I mostly gravitate toward the quinoa (especially red quinoa), occasionally amaranth, sometimes buckwheat, but very rarely millet. I think on some level the knowledge that I could also pick some [...]

Fig & Grape Quinoa Salad

I wasn’t planning on sharing this with you just yet because I’m not 100% happy with the photos. Yes, I am actually that vain. I knew the stores would be closed today for Good Friday, so yesterday I got me some dried cannellini beans, chard, and pearled barley, with a vague plan to creating something [...]

Roasted Chickpea Stew

I was grocery shopping a few days ago and came across a splendid assortment of squash that have just come into season. There were squat little round and big fat ones, stretched ones and twisted ones, fiery orange, mild yellow and rich green ones. A squash to suit every mood or personality. Of course, being [...]

Pineapple Red Curry

My dad and step-mum have a home in Thailand where they escape the New Zealand winter, and it has become one of my favourite places to visit. Their home is in a humble farming village called Bankor, close to the Laos border. A beautiful spot where the water buffalos still rule the rice paddies and [...]
