Spending time in Italy during its summer, I was surrounded by an abundance of mediterranean vegetables; eggplant, tomato, capsicum, zucchini, red onion.

Thinking about it as well, this dish … Read More

Quinoa Broccoli Bites
While I enjoy eating pastured, organic animal products (very much), I’m very conscious that as a whole the Australian population eats much more than we really need, nutritionally, contributing to a global problem of meat production that is not sustainable in the long term. For this reason, I make a conscious effort to take 1-2 days a week where I eat … Read More

But I am sensitive to gluten and I find that most of the gluten-free versions in the stores tend to be really thin and flaky and don’t hold the filling together well at all. And they always fall apart when toasted under a sandwich press. This cabbage version literally uses a big … Read More
