Super easy to make, these fish cakes with potato and dill are ready in no time, and if you have a little helper – even quicker! Not counting the extra time to clean up the all the mess of course… They are made with a classic flavour combo of potato and dill and make a healthy lunch or…
Asparagus and Saffron Risotto
I used a combination of purple and green asparagus here. H and I were at the green grocer when he spotted purple asparagus and got super excited – like jumping up and down excited, I wish I could have recorded him. It was super cute and me loving his enthusiasm for good food ended up buying…
Tuscan Ribollita – veggie, bean & bread soup
Ribollita is a Tuscan soup made with lot of veggies, white beans and bread. It is super easy to make and doesn’t take too long. It is a great dish for the entire family. Puree/mash for baby and leave it chunky for bigger kids and the family. Ribollita – meaning reboiled, is a great…
Thai Basil Chicken with fried egg
This is my take on the Thai dish; Pad Kra Pao. I haven’t called it that because it is far from authentic but I have been making it for some time and its super tasty. It’s also super simple to make and a perfect weeknight meal for the family. Serve this Thai basil chicken with…
Baked Fish Parcels
Baked fish parcels make a fun weeknight meal. Super easy to prepare and by cooking it in baking paper it is harder to over cook and dry out the fish. H was pretty excited to get a parcel for dinner. ‘oh that looks nice’ he said – he is my greatest fan… If serving this to your…
Roasted Sweet Potato with Crispy Chickpeas and Tahini
I have been a little sweet potato mad lately – but it has to be roasted. Something really magical happens when veggies are roasted and I can’t get enough of them. H on the other hand has decided he likes everything served raw. Now I’m not complaining. He will happily sit down and eat…
Spiced Lamb Quinoa Pilaf
I have been making a version of this dish for years. It is a perfect mid-week meal – easy to prepare, super tasty, it all happens in the one pot so there isn’t a lot of clean up, and it’s always a hit. The spices are balanced beautifully with the sweetness of the currants…

Quick roast lemon chicken is a great weeknight meal with minimum fuss. By butterflying the chicken it cooks in half the time and allows you to add your veggies in from the start. I love meals like this that all go in at once and allow you to clean up while the magic happens. So easy and perfect…

Teriyaki salmon is one of those dishes you assume is time-consuming and has a million ingredients but it is actually very simple. It has only 4 ingredients: salmon, sugar, soy and mirin. Simple but really delicious. Serve with a salad and you have a super easy weeknight meal. I cook the salmon under the grill when making this dish….
Chicken Domburi
Chicken Domburi has always been a favourite of mine. It all happens in the one pot (excluding cooking the rice), so its perfect for a quick week night meal. You start by browning the chicken and then cooking the onions until soft. Add your liquid and the eggs and its all ready once the eggs…
