This isn’t traditional sauerkraut. Traditional recipes for sauerkraut involves pounding the cabbage and creating a ‘self brine’. Some require several days worth of prep and making. I never have much success doing that (or the time). So instead, I finely shred the cabbage and julienne the carrots, then I add a wet brine, poured over the top. I …
How refreshing is a glass of tangy homemade ‘lemonade’? Made with real lemons, just enough sugar, and water. That’s it. Three ingredients! This isn’t a thick syrupy cordial, with random ingredients. It makes a deliciously light and zingy drink, when diluted with sparkling water. My son loves making homemade ‘lemonade’. It is a great school …
Wow, this combination is unexpectedly delicious! I first came across the Coffee and Spiced Rub on Drizzle and Dip, and thought to myself that my tastebuds would be delighted with that. They were. I adjusted the recipe to use up some of the jars and jars of dried citrus powder I had made, which just …
Kale Chips. You know, I get the resistance to kale chips. If you are thinking that a chip must be made of potato, even if you are willing to concede to sweet potato as a chip, it is just too far a stretch to imagine using something green and bendy to make a crisp savoury …

These little flavour-intense dried tomatoes can be used in so many ways! They can be used in salads, eaten as a snack, or finely ground into ‘tomato powder’ which can be used as a flavour enhancer for any meal using a tomato base. You can rehydrate them in oil before use, to use on a …
This Green Chilli and Lime Sauce is great way to add spice and flavour to dishes, especially when you make your curries mild to please fussy children. It goes great with BBQ meat and seafood, can be added to classic mayonnaise recipe to give it some flavour, and can be used as a marinade. It …
I love pesto. I clearly remember the first time that I ate it. I was a teenager in high school, and I was invited to a friends birthday party. She wasn’t a very close friend, and so I didn’t know that her parents were ‘foodies’, and the party food was gourmet delights, not chips and …
When I was first (officially) diagnosed with IBS and recommended to trial a Low FODMAP way of eating one of the hardest things was realising that garlic and onion are in just about everything! One of our family favourite meals is curry, as the kids can have it mild, I can get a lot of vegetables …
