I always get compliments when I make this dish, which I’ve always known as “roasted egg”, so this recipe write up is long overdue! It’s a version of a Cantonese delicacy, I normally prepare as a side and serve over steamed rice which soaks up the tasty savoury egg custard.

Honey roasted seaweed almonds
A lovely friend shared her recipe for some honey roasted nuts so I started making these almonds as a snack - they get super addictive. Recently with ALG Seaweed’s new products I decided to give the recipe a go with their rainbow seaweed products and it is even better!
Read MoreCauliflower & Potato Cheesy Bake with Seaweed
One day I spied that my lovely friend Sarah, the all knowing seaweed queen, had sprinkled her cheesy potato bake with seaweed. It looked so delicious & she suggested that cauliflower would go too - which was perfect because I had some old cauliflower in the fridge begging to be eaten! The seaweed sprinkled on top provides this dish with a hint of umami which is a great side to a fish or chicken main.

Roasted Cauliflower, Spinach & Tomato Salad
On a mission to make my husband's lunchboxes not as boring, I took my friend's advice & brought Hetty McKinnon's Community home. Jam packed with salad recipes from Arthur Street Kitchen (a place she made salad twice/wk to deliver via bike in Sydney), I began the journey into exploring vegetable combinations I'd not thought of before.

Quick n' Easy Soba Salad
After the cafe closed, I found a little kitchen near home to bake in for my client orders. It's a quick walk from home, so I spent the better half of the last year eating lunch at home. Very quickly I found this as my go to, it's fast & simple (takes about 30 minutes max when you've got the timing down pat) and it's also great in lunch boxes (my husband and sister can testify to this).
