As I start to read this month’s choice for The Cookbook Guru I realise very quickly that if I’m going to have any hope of doing this month’s book for The Cookbook Guru any justice then I needed to start at the beginning. You see, we are spending the month’s of March and April cooking…

Saffron and Lemon Chicken
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the spice saffron. The smell evokes so many childhood memories for me that I love to cook with it just to take a trip down memory lane. When I was charged with creating this recipe as part of The Cookbook Club earlier this month I was…
Zesty Coconut Bread
I’m sure we all have memories from our child hood of particular foods. For me this recipe of Coconut Bread is one that I remember making when I was probably about 10 years old. I’m fairly sure Mum was away working and so Dad was taking us on a car rally with my two sisters…
Honey Ginger Semolina Porridge
It’s a fresh Autumn morning here in Brisbane. We’ve had a cold snap sweep through Australia the weekend just gone with winds blowing up from Antarctica and we’ve not been immune from its effects, even halfway up the country. Now cold for us is in single digits celsius which might make me sound like a…
Lemon and Poppyseed Scones
As I mentioned in an earlier post a week ago that I’ve been exploring different variations of soda bread, mixing it up with different grains. The presence of poppy seeds in my kitchen because of this has led to this variation on an old classic and one that I thought was worth sharing. The…
Roasted Carrot, Lemon and Harissa Dip
It’s been a while since I’ve shared a dip recipe with you all and to be honest, it has been a while since I’ve made some to share in our house as well. We have the fall back guacamole but even that has been rare with avocados being pretty expensive. I’m not quite sure what…
Syrian Chicken with Saffron, Ginger And Lemon
The smell of saffron has a very special place in my heart. The memories evoked not only from the original source of my childhood, but the consequential moments along the way working in kitchens, baking in my own kitchen and tasting foods whilst travelling have only served to increase the significance of this exclusive and…
Grownup Lime Cordial
Yum! Honestly its the best way to describe this delicious and easy to make cordial. It is another of our family recipes that has been passed down from my Nan. Check out the original story here on Please Pass The Recipe but for now I thought I would share this because it is simple to…
Delicious Lemon and Rosemary Potatoes
Potatoes are an absolute favourite in our household. The preference is for them to be roasted, but we will eat them any way we can get them. This recipe was inspired originally by Jamie Oliver and his roast lemon and rosemary roast chicken recipe. I then got some visual inspiration from the beautiful photos of…
Fennel and Lemon Pork Chops
Inspired by the Orange and Fennel Chicken skewers I made recently out of the Donna Hay challenge I am doing, this recipe literally took 3 minutes to make and was an excellent way to add an extra zing to the pork chops we cooked on the BBQ. Fennel and Lemon Pork Chops 4 medium sized…
Quinoa Pea Fritters with Zucchini
This recipe intrigued me, and then when I was cooking it I was slightly worried about the flavours. I was concerned it would be a bit bland and tasteless. Most of all I’ve never eaten raw zucchini that I can think of and wasn’t sure that I wanted to start now. I’m happy to say…
