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 [...]

Arrabbiata with Broccoli & Tempeh

As I’m writing this it is 26C (79F) outside and the cicada symphony is in full swing. I know this not just because they’re drowning out all other neighborhood sounds, but because the cat just bought one into the house. And then she let it go. Cicadas are way, way noisier inside the house. So [...]

Puy Lentil, Tomato & Feta Salad

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, [...]

Bulgur with Garden Vegetables & Roasted Feta

Have you ever roasted goat feta? I just tried it tonight and it was so good I decided I had to do a post about it. Just crumble the feta into a small roasting dish, drizzle with a few good glugs of olive oil and throw in a few sprigs of fresh rosemary. Roast. Then [...]

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 [...]

Soba Noodles with Eggplant and Pomegranate

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while now you’ll know I am particularly fond of soba noodles. Most any time I make a recipe with noodles I will find a reason to substitute soba into the mix. Well, actually it doesn’t even need to be a noodle recipe… Hot or cold, I just [...]

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 [...]

Peanut Noodle Salad

Yesterday I threw together this peanut noodle salad in a mad rush while preparing a couple of other dishes for a big pot luck dinner we were hosting last night. It often happens that when I’m cooking during the day, preparing for a dinner party, the last thing I think about is what to have [...]

Pan-fried Lentil Caprese

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 [...]
