Loving Aussie raspberries and blackberries
Hello lovelies. A little quiet patch between blog posts as I’ve been busy over on our sister site Storehouse Blog Directory and getting ready for the 33rd Dietitians Association of Australia conference kicking off today. Follow the news with #DAA2016. Acclaimed chef and restauranteur, Alla Wolf Tasker has just finished her opening address with a very…
Melbourne Tomato Festival Shakshuka for #RecipeReDux
One of my very first post, almost 6 years ago now, was how I so wish that I’d been born a sister from an Italian Mister. Well, actually Greek or Swedish would have been fine too. Anything, more multicultural than my 6th gen Aussie Scottish stock. Absolutely, anything. Now I’m getting older and wiser and learning…
Survive winter with Spiced Peanut Butter Kumera Soup
How’s your winter survival strategy going? Have you moved your exercise indoors to the gym or spin class? Or are you rugged up and embracing the season? We bet you are warming from within and slurping soup! A bowl of soup can make a hearty meal or a satisfying snack and even give your weight management…
Recipe ReDux Kalette Tabouli
It’s Recipe ReDux time again and July’s theme is from the garden. We are a little short on backyard produce, being winter down under. But even though my silver beet has been eaten by grubs and we only got one orange on my miniature citrus, there is always mint, my trusty lemon tree (and the neighbours – see over the fence)…
Boost your vitamin D with mushrooms by Emma Stirling APD
I’m sitting typing this practically on top of the wood fire at the farm. It’s absolutely freezing. And even though we have ventured out for long walks today, very little of my skin has been exposed to the sun. Thank goodness we are having mushroom risotto tonight. Yes, there is a link, as strange as…
Impossibly delicious caramelised onion, feta and tomato pie by Emma Stirling APD
Oh what to make for this month’s Recipe ReDux? The theme is pie. And how does one compete with the USA members and their classic apple, pecan and pumpkin? So as always, I went back to my cookbook collection, looked through vintage recipes (including the politically incorrect Mammy Oven Puff) and found a handwritten winner in…

This week we are excited to launch the second in our recipe series with new Scoop Supporter KRAFT Nuts, who has just released a new Naturals range of Peanut Butter made from 100% peanuts. We’ve come up with two new ways for #peanutbutterlovers to reap the rewards of breakfast. You’ll want to go to bed…
Pink Lake Salted Anzac Biscuits by Emma Stirling APD
I’m not a girly girl, but the expanse of the most prettiest shade of baby pink took my breath away as we arrived at our foodie destination. Hardy scrub, best suited to the dry arid conditions, surrounded the pink glow as we walked the short track in. The adrenaline levels rose as the foraging chefs…
Farro, Black Lentil, Fig and Minted Goat’s Cheese salad by Emma Stirling APD
Easter is always a very special time for our family. Starting with the ritual road trip we charge head on into boisterous extended family fun on my Uncle’s farm in Western Victoria. There are pony and trailer rides, bush walks and fireside talks and every meal is shared. On Good Friday evening we cooked salmon fillets on the…
Recipe ReDux: Farro Porridge with Muscovado Grilled Peaches by Emma Stirling APD
Whew. It feels good to be back with Recipe ReDux – the only monthly recipe challenge founded by dietitians and open to anyone with a health inspired blog. I’ve been so busy launching Storehouse (Australian nutrition blog directory) that it’s taken over for a little while. But I’m back to what I love, cooking and…
