it all started with a love for food
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Fresh tomatoes and herbs are in abundance and their flavour is at their peak. This easy & authentic pomodoro sauce will blow you away with how incredible it tastes with only 5 ingredients. Even better, this can be made with canned tomatoes (ideally with the best quality you can find – including home canned).
This Indian-Filipino Chicken Curry recipe is famous in my family, and it’s easy to see why. Spicy, rich coconut curry infused with Indian spices and soy marinated chicken thighs makes for a delicious flavour fusion that everyone will enjoy.
This is my favourite quick and healthy side dish when I’m making Mexican food and need to get some veggies on the table. My Mexican Corn and Black Bean Salad is great as a side dish, in a steak taco, or as leftovers eaten straight out of the fridge. It’s an all-purpose, delicious and robust salad that’s perfect in those hot summer months (or even in the dead of winter – it’s so delicious!).
This quick and delicious garlic scape arrabbiata uses the scape from hardneck garlic that is harvested in late May-mid June. The delicate garlic flavours hold up well to the 15 minute simmer with the grape tomatoes and the result is a rich yet delicately flavoured pasta sauce that will have you sneaking back for seconds! A touch of spice is added from the calabrian chili peppers and fresh thyme to round out all the flavours.
