While I’ve made scrambled tofu one hundred different ways, this gorgeously soft, lightly spiced version, inspired by the clever cooks at Smith & Daughters, is hard to beat. With pan-fried tofu, garlic and peppers tossed through a wonderfully creamy, cheesy sauce this Inspired Scrambled Tofu is the perfect partner to a rainy Sunday morning.

Twisted Mushroom Reuben Sandwich
I get food crushes all the time; I am a bit of a tart that way. However, I think this Twisted Mushroom Reuben Sandwich might be the real thing. Pan fried spiced mushrooms, homemade red cabbage sauerkraut, Russian dressing and pickles combine in each wonderfully messy and textured bite.
Vine-Ripened Tomato Tarte Tatin
After months of inspecting our beautiful tomato plants for signs of fruit, we finally have a harvest in the first week of Autumn. Globed beauties like Aunt Ruby’s Greens, Beams Yellow Pears, Green and Blacks and Green Zebras have emerged to decorate our heavy vines. In celebration of the arrival of our long hoped for…
Utterly Awesome Gluten-Free Cauliflower Fritters

Many moons ago, the Husband and I lived in a small town called Carjamarca in the northern highlands of Peru. The city sits around 2,800 metres above sea level and is either a bumpy 2-hour flight from the capital Lima or a terrifying 13 hour bus ride. Carjamarca is famous for being the location of…
Spiced Eggplant Brunch Pitas
Impossibly delicious, these Spiced Eggplant Brunch Pitas are the start of my new regime in the lead up to Christmas. While we navigate the festive merry-go-round I want to keep my food quick, simple but sumptuous. With steamed eggplant tossed in cumin and coriander spices, hummus, mint and a yoghurt dressing on warm spiced pitas,…
Sneaky BBQ Mushroom Steamed Buns

Ever since the Husband and I were dating we’ve frequented our local Chinese restaurant for the soft, plump dumplings sitting prettily in their bamboo baskets. These days we are a party of three and while the Elf isn’t terribly adventurous she loves…
Japanese inspired vegetable potato cakes
I have a very large food crush on these Japanese inspired vegetable potato cakes. Golden grilled potato and vegetable rounds topped with red miso mayonnaise, shallots and pickled ginger, these are a delicious and vegan twist on the traditional Osaka-style okonomiyaki pancake.
