Sept 10 |
| Hunter Gatherer Lamb Shank Braise |
Delicious served with mashed potatoes or soft polenta, and some garlicky, buttery greens such as Brussel sprouts. |
Aug 10 |
| Tombola |
Far sturdier than a frittata, Tombola is a great grab and go breakfast. They keep brilliantly, actually firming up a little as they cool. The beauty of the tombola is just about any vegetable can be used |
June 10 |
| Lamb, Oat & Vegetable Stew |
A great source of zinc, lamb makes a deeply nourishing stew for the cooler weather. |
May 10 |
| Black Beans |
Black turtle beans, pinto or borlotti are all freely interchangeable, and are a great option for many dishes. |
Nov 07 |
| Bright & Happy Quinoa Salad |
Happy because it's simple to make, and has a bright flavour. |
Feb 10 |
| Brown Rice |
Long or short grain brown rice is fine. For more flavour, try parching the rice first. Add it to a frypan and roast over a gentle heat for about 5 mins before soaking. |
Nov 07 |
| Bubble and Squeak |
One of the best ways to disguise cabbage, and a brilliant base upon which to build a cheap and nourishing meal. |

Dairy free and wheat/gluten free (depending on the bread used). |
Feb 09 |
| Corn Fritters |
These are great hot or cold. When using fresh corn, simply steam before cutting the kernels off. Serve with fresh salsa and avocado. |
Mar 10 |

This is such a delicious way to have fish, and quick to prepare. |
Nov 09 |

Currently my favourite sauce – great also for stir frys. |

Avocado, Arame, Beetroot, Carrot & Lentils |
Sept 09 |
| Lemon & Polenta Crumbed Fish with Chips |
The recipe for this month - It's to show you it doesn't take long to cook a good dinner proper fast food |
May 08 |
| Pirate's Pie |
This is the kind of pie I would make for my pirate husband, when he returned from the seas, with a handful of freshly caught fish. |
Sept 07 |
| Quinoa and Vegetable Pilaf with Indian Flavours |
If you have a teenage vegetarian, this is the recipe you should give them to master. |
June 08 |
| Red Wine Braised Lentils with Beetroot and Root Vegetables |
Brown and green lentils are not as easy to work with as you think - their extreme astringency needs tempering to provide a full flavoured and satisfying end result. |
July 07 |

A faithful standby for a delicious and quick dinner. Gluten free: Serves 3-4 adults. |
July 09 |
| The Nicoise |

Chicken Noodle Soup |
My version of the classic soup - when you have a good chicken stock in the freezer, anything is possible. |

| Healing
Chicken Soup |
Dairy/Gluten Free:
Really, this is more of a soup than a stock, but
if you have a family, you can supply a meal, as
well as nourish yourself as well, by just eating
the broth. |
May 07 |
| Shitake
Mushroom, Vegetable & Barley Soup |
Shitake mushrooms
strengthen, detoxify and restore. Renowned as immune
boosters with antiviral and antitumour properties,
they are rich in vitamin D, B12 and protein. Barley
has a wonderfully soluble fibre and is rich in minerals
such as magnesium. |

Anatomy
of a Snack - Muesli Bars - Wheat and Dairy Free |
Even when made entirely
with organic ingredients, these are still far, far
cheaper to make than buy. They're quick too - so
it's a win, win all around. |

Perfect Pastry Pie |
Double recipe for pie (that is top and bottom). For a sweeter pastry (useful for a variety of Fruit Pies), add 2 tablespoons raw sugar, to the flour. |
Aug 10 |
| Sausage Rolls |
If you're interested in notching up brownie points with your family, hot sausage rolls on a cold day will do it. Uncooked, these freeze fabulously.

Berry Nice Pancakes |
Really, a bit of a cross between a pancake and pikelet. Serve with yoghurt if desired, and your sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, brown rice syrup). |

| Black Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk and Mango |
Black Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk and Mango is one of the best summer breakfasts around |

A fabulous breakfast for when the weather starts to cool. |

| Sweets |
 |
Almond and Rose Ice "Cream"
|
A lovely "ice cream" for those who can't tolerate a traditional vanilla, cream and whole milk ice cream. |
Apr 09 |
| Apple Brown Betty |
This is a very, very old fashioned pudding made from really very little at all, but it rates as one of my very favourite puddings. |
March 08 |
| Banana and pineapple cake with colonut, cream cheese frosting |
Banana is an all around brilliant choice for baking, adding natural sweetness. I've baked this as a large tray, which makes it easy for cutting and slicing, but it also makes 1 x 22cm cake or 12 muffin sized cupcakes. |
Aug 09 |
| Chocolate, Cocoa Nib and Cherry Biscotti |
This is my personal prescription for those of you who just want a little something delicious when you sit down after dinner with a cup of tea. They do have some expensive ingredients, but in small amounts, and the recipe makes 32 odd - oh, and they last for ages, and did I say they are really good? |
Dec 07 |
| Coconut Cream Ramikens |
An amazingly quick and delicious dessert to put together. Simply pour the Coconut Cream into little ramekins or small glass containers, and top with fruit of choice. |
Jan 08 |
| Fruit Mince |
This is the loveliest fruit mince I know. It's light and moist, and has none of the horrible peel found in so many versions. It's the perfect place to use seconds or windfalls. You can easily keep this in a clean, sealed jar in the fridge forever, but if you want to keep it in the pantry, you'll need to give it a boiling water bath. The jars will need to be proper jam jars, so they withstand the heat of the water bath. |
Aug 07 |
| Kulfi Semi Fredo with Mango |
A lovely dessert of sweetness from mango, coconut milk and a small amount of maple syrup. |
Jan 09 |
| Panforte Recipe |
As the mixture is being prepared in the bowl, the kitchen is filled with the smell of Christmas. |
Dec 09 |
| Pumpkin Pie |
I grew up on Pumpkin Pie and love it hot or cold. It’s wonderful and brimming with soul. |
July 08 |
| Traditional Butter Cupcakes & Raspberry Butter Cream Frosting |
I prefer to use a white spelt flour here, but a white wheat flour is fine. The classic butter, sugar, egg, flour cupcakes - these are delicious and keep exceptionally well. Orange or lemon zest would be delicious additions to the batter.
Makes 9 - 12 cupcakes |
Oct 07 |
| Wheat Free Dairy Free Fruit Sponge |
Apples, Berries, Maple Syrup and home-made sponge - wheat free and dairy free. |
Oct 09 |
Condiments
|
 |
Bengal Chutney |
As this chutney is sweetened with sugar, it's not necessary to process it in a boiling water bath. However, the jars, lids, ladle and funnel will need to be sterile. |
Aug 07 |
| Home-made Mayonnaise |
Home-made mayonnaise is one of the most flexible foods to have on hand. Used to enrich a salad or snack or to add flavour to meals, mayonnaise is a profoundly rich source of quality fats and antioxidants. |
