Dumplings are probably my favourite international dough and meat combo. After making three lots of dumplings this weekend, I thought it was time to share another of my favourite varieties. You can put whatever you want in a dumpling; any combination of mince, vegetable and herb will usually work. Read more...

Feijoa Cupcakes

Posted 1:30pm Sunday 26th April 2015 by Sophie Edmonds

It’s that time of year when feijoas are in. I don’t know about you, but every time I gain control over my excess feijoa situation, I seem to acquire more as my friends’ mums try to palm them off on me. Want to know a secret? This is just a banana cake with some feijoas thrown Read more...

Roast Tomato, Pumpkin and Capsicum Soup

Posted 2:47pm Sunday 19th April 2015 by Sophie Edmonds

It’s that time of year again when the electric blankets come out, the hot water bottles get cradled in lectures and your washing takes a week to dry. Soup starts to become a viable option for most meals as your bank balances become as miserable as the weather. When I was scrounging a free Read more...

Roasted Tomato and Red Onion Spaghetti

Posted 2:51pm Sunday 12th April 2015 by Sophie Edmonds

Vine-ripened tomatoes are in full swing at the moment. Finding them at my local veggie shop for $1.99/kilo got me inappropriately excited as I thought of making my own pasta sauce. This is for those of you who are finding store-bought pasta sauces or the homemade ones made out of budget tins of Read more...

Satay Chicken Wraps

Posted 3:11pm Sunday 29th March 2015 by Sophie Edmonds

The struggle to nurture my body with more than just eggs on toast continues. Having eaten spaghetti and meatballs for most of last week, I was keen to mix things up a bit. This satay sauce can be used for chicken, tofu or even without a main protein player; it is delicious smothered by itself on the Read more...

Mediterranean Lamb Burgers

Posted 5:43pm Sunday 22nd March 2015 by Sophie Edmonds

I compensate for my lack of a Victoria’s Secret-worthy bod by seducing men with my charm, wit and culinary efforts. My usual go-to involves spaghetti and meatballs made from scratch, as carbs and meat tend to go down a treat in most males. This time I felt the pasta fest that I usually do wouldn’t Read more...

How to Make a Salad

Posted 2:32pm Sunday 15th March 2015 by Sophie Edmonds

I went to the Farmers’ Market the other day and became instantly inspired to start eating more vegetables. I was prancing around the market in new fluoro Nike gym gear too, so I feel like the health kick had gone well and truly to my head. I became overwhelmed with choice and even found myself Read more...

For those who know me or have followed my recipes here since last year, my unwavering love for soft-shell tacos is evident.

Vegan Steamed Buns

Posted 6:26pm Sunday 1st March 2015 by Sophie Edmonds

Needing a post-O-Week detox yet? While I believe in butter, smash back trays of eggs every fortnight and am pretty much the poster child for milk consumption, I am also a massive fan of these vegan steamed buns. I base them on a Jamie Oliver recipe, which I tweaked due to my lack of mushrooms, Read more...

Roast vegetable frittata

Posted 4:35pm Sunday 22nd February 2015 by Sophie Edmonds

I read somewhere that root vegetables are the kale of 2015. This news excites me greatly as I am the kumara’s biggest fan. I have been trying to nourish my body with more than just scrambled eggs three times a day. I love eggs — they are so cheap and such a great source of protein. The only problem Read more...
