My life, over the last six months, has been tipped upside down and thrown on it’s head. Hence my lack of commitment to Eat This My Friend. Without delving too deeply into my personal life, I discovered that in times of total stress I completely lose my appetite. I have not been in the mood to…

Pumpkin + Lentil Salad with Caramelised Onions
My friends and family constantly request my recipes. So much so I began writing a little cookbook, and later, started this blog. Last week I was asked by someone very dear to me, for the recipes of the 3 meals I make most often – my Sausage and Butter Bean Cassoulet, Zucchini Pasta, plus my Pumpkin +…
Falafel Wraps with Hummus, Salad + Garlic Sauce
These are a bit of a ‘cheats’ falafel, as I have used tinned beans and chickpeas. The recipe is very loose, I am not one for measuring exact amounts of chopped herbs and the like. Use it as a guide. I used brown rice flour, as i made these for my lil sis, who has…
Mustard-Maple Baked Beans, with Goats Cheese
After a 2 week hiatus I am back. Apologies to those of you who were eagerly awaiting a new recipe in your inbox – I found I was placing unnecessary pressure on myself to get a blog post done. I decided to just let it go. Mind you, it was a difficult decision for…
Simple Turkish Eggs
As you may already know, I tend to get a little obsessive over things. I have even had a period of egg obsession (as explained in this post) and now I am in the midst of another. Much to my dismay, kitchen time has be very limited of late – I seem to be eating…
Somehow I Became Obsessed With Food
Food is an enormous part of my identity. In fact, if a friend was attempting to describe me to another, I am fairly certain it would be something along the lines of this: short girl, talks a lot, obsessed with food. Yep, that’s me. Surprisingly it has not always been this way. I mean, I have…
Rice Paper Rolls, Two Ways
I’ll be honest, Rice Paper Rolls are not usually part of my repertoire. I mean I love them, but I generally just buy them rather than make them at home (which, is pretty peculiar behaviour for me actually!). Unfortunately I am super fussy and cannot bring myself to even try the ones from the local suburban ‘Sushi’ shop….
Red Rice Salad with Apple, Walnuts + Boiled Eggs
The weather in Victoria has shifted, and in the most glorious way. Most days have some sunshine and the nights are crisp and cool. The oven is often on without fear of heating up house. New season apples are on display at the green grocer. How lovely is Autumn. This salad is pretty classic…
Corn, Spring Onion + Ricotta Quiche
Us mothers at Clancy’s school organised a get-together, to celebrate our children surviving the first month of prep and our own new found friendships. Basically an excuse to have a glass of wine, eat cheese and socialise (like we needed one). Being the obsessive food lover that I am, I always see situations like these…
Summertime Lentil Salad
There was a time in my life when I hated lentils. I blame it on those large green ones, you know, the ones that are super mealy and a bit dry. Mum used to cook these for dinner. Stupid mushy dry lentils. This could also be the reason why many of you aren’t too…
