• Recipe: Blue Cheese, Walnut and Swiss Brown Mushroom Pasta

  The next few photos will be taken with my Iphone as I’ve just moved into a new house and I have no idea where my camera is.  So, firstly apologies for the not-so-great photos. This quite extravagant dish is very rich and is one that you coul...

• Recipe: Tamarind Paneer

  Posted on Thursday June 4th, 2009 at 04:07 in recipes, Hot, vegetarian, cheese, vegetables, spicy, paneer, tofu, curry, special occasion, snack, ricotta

  This lovely recipe is a take on the Chilli Paneer made with cornflour.  Whilst bitter in flavour, it also is sweet, salty and hot, making your taste buds unsure of what it will hit it next. Combining some sweet peppers and onions, this dish goes gre...

• Recipe: Baked Rigatoni with Rocket and Ricotta

  Posted on Monday May 11th, 2009 at 22:44 in recipes, vegetarian, cheese, pasta, vegetables, tomato, parmesan, baked goods, rocket, casserole, mozzarella, lentils

  I have to admit that being in Melbourne, and, living in the Western suburbs, I feel really spoilt for choice when it comes to produce. Not only am I close to the farms, I’m also close to the airport and, really, pretty close to town also. Why...

• Recipe: Lentil “Bolognese” Pasta

  Posted on Sunday January 11th, 2009 at 19:48 in recipes, vegan, vegetarian, cheese, dinner, pasta, seeds, parmesan, bolognese, mustard, legumes, wholegrain mustard

  The following pasta definitely has a meaty type consistency, but I assure you the sauce is totally vegetarian.  Lentils are a great alternative to use instead of minced meat, as they take the flavour on from the spices used and mix in quite well wi...

• Recipe: Baked Polenta Lasagne

  Posted on Sunday July 13th, 2008 at 17:25 in vegetarian, cheese, chilli, vegetables, spicy, Other, Italian food, tomato, oven, parmesan, polenta, baked goods

  I was meaning on making a baked polenta dish that was a little different to this, but my dad purchased the polenta for me.  Rather than getting the raw version, he purchased the ready made one and I needed to come up with something different, hence ...

  For one of my friends heading back over to England, we headed out to lunch at an Indian Restaurant in Footscray called Aangan.  It’s recognisable by the tree popped up on their roof, which at night, lights up like a Christmas Tree.  What̵...

• Recipe: Rocket, Ricotta & Fake Chorizo Pasta

  Posted on Thursday May 22nd, 2008 at 17:41 in salad, vegetarian, cheese, chilli, pasta, hot dogs, vegetables, garlic, onion, chili, parmesan, rocket

  I have to admit I love this dish.  It has everything you want for a meal - crispiness, spice, bite, freshness and flavour all in one. The use of rocket, a clean extra virgin olive oil and ricotta tricks you into thinking it’s light and you can...

• Recipe: Pasta alla Milanese

  Posted on Tuesday May 6th, 2008 at 18:11 in white, Wine, vegetarian, cheese, dinner, pasta, onion, white wine, parmesan, saffron, reggiano, milanese

  I’ve been getting bored of my usual vegetarian pasta dishes and so I had a little bit of a look around for some ideas, when I thought of making a Milanese-style pasta instead of risotto. The pasta uses exactly the same base as the risotto dish,...

  As you get older, I’ve noticed that your taste changes! Why I’m saying this is because there’s some certain vegetables which I used to not be able to eat, but now can. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still some you will pr...

• Recipe: Crema di funghi con penne

  Posted on Thursday April 10th, 2008 at 17:49 in mushrooms, vegetarian, cheese, pasta, parmesan, penne, chives, cream, mushroom, crema, grana, creme fraiche

  I’m feeling a little cultural today, so therefore you’ve got the Italian name for this dish. I haven’t been back for a couple of years now, but it’s certainly getting near the time, I want to head over there again! I’m...

  Can it get any better than cheese fondue? This recipe is based on the famous dish from Switzerland which I absoutely love after having it near the Jungfrau Mountains on one of my travelling adventures. This certainly reminds me of this adventure an...

  I love potatoes, anyway you serve them! This lovely dish was a take on scalloped potatoes using Sherry. To be honest, I’ve not found this anywhere, but thought it would be a good change to complement the potatoes. I wasn’t wrong! Ser...

  Who wants Mexican? Ever thought of having it with pasta? I must say it wasn’t something I’d thought of before last week. I was craving some avocado and salsa with pasta, so I thought, why not go one step further and have nacho cheese? ...

  Saturday lunch with time on my hands and not wanting just a simple sandwich, I had a sudden craving for pizza - not an extremely heavy or greasy one, but a hand-made, thin-crust pizza. This recipe is not only easy to make, but almost mess-free, for...
