Pizza quiche is, not surprisingly, a cross between pizza and quiche… yum! Add a twist of your own by swapping out some of the ingredients for your favourite pizza toppings. Pizza and quiche are up there on my list of favourite things to eat, so I’m pretty happy with a meal that combines the two! This would also be yummy […]

This savoury tomato tarte tatin makes the most of juicy summer tomatoes. A fresh and flavoursome vegetarian dinner that’s easy to put together and won’t weigh you down. I can’t get enough of summer produce at the moment – it’s so good! Eating your 5+ a day is so much easier when there’s an abundance of delicious fruits and vegetables […]

Asparagus and prosciutto tart is such a flavoursome, easy dinner. It’s a great option for a dinner party too – just cut the baked tart into smaller squares. This is another versatile meal that’s easy to throw together with whatever you have in the fridge. Try smoked salmon instead of prosciutto, or thinly sliced tomatoes instead of asparagus. You’ll definitely […]

Who doesn’t love a good pie?! These individual creamy mushroom and spinach pies with buttery puff pastry are a delicious vegetarian meal. Sautéed broccolini makes a great addition. I tested these out on the meat-lover in our household (Royce), as well as a few other family members, and they got the big tick of approval. Mind you, it would be […]

Rich, savoury mince covered with a cheesy spinach layer and finished with crisp, golden filo pastry sheets. If you haven’t tried beef florentine filo pie before, you’re missing out! Let me just say, this pie is awesome (better than it looks)! We went to our good friends, Chris and Maddalena, for dinner a few weeks ago and they served up […]

I love a good savoury tart (or quiche). Buttery pastry and a rich savoury filling are balanced out with a fresh green salad. Using canned salmon, this savoury salmon tart is a delicious, inexpensive meal. If canned salmon is a bit too fishy for you, try using hot smoked salmon instead. Bacon or chorizo work well for a non-seafood alternative. […]

Here’s how to justify having sausage rolls for dinner: make a homemade version with added veggies and serve with a big spring slaw! These pork, apple and cheddar sausage rolls are very moreish. The inspiration for this slaw recipe comes from my Auntie Kerri – she made it for dinner one night when I was visiting her and my uncle […]

Easy chicken and leek pie is such great comfort food. This deconstructed version has kumara rounds for the base and a cheesy pastry topper. Making the filling while the kumara and pastry bake means you can have the pie ready in much less time than usual, while still enjoying all the same flavours. This makes it a great make-ahead meal […]
