Personally I find the toppings are often the best part. It’s where you can add some texture, acidity, fish…

Cauliflower Bacon Soup
Warming, creamy (without any added cream), texture from those delicious toasted croutons, saltiness from some quality bacon lardons and a nice anise hit from the tarragon.

Mushroom & smoked pumpkin appetizer
Like most families (I guess!), we tend to eat a lot of 1 course dinners. Then we hit the couch and have a cup of tea and TONS of chocolate there!! With that being said I don’t often get the opportunity to play around with starters as the “boss” would much prefer dessert. Although, I…
Coconut Corn Soup
The other day I posted my watermelon & togaroshi recipe and I talked about clinging on to summer here in QLD and how summer is coming elsewhere in the world. Well, now at the request of my wife (who is always cold) I am back making soup! This coconut corn soup has been a family…
Watermelon, togaroshi, feta & mint

Smashed Cucumber Salad
For those of you who follow me on Instagram you have probably noticed the disproportionate amount of meat consumed in our home! That’s not to say we don’t eat plenty of veg or fish too. For whatever reason I end up photographing more of the meat based dishes! So on that note, something a little…
