I got away quite lightly with odd food cravings whilst I was pregnant, but I did eat A LOT of burritos. So many in fact that I vowed I would never even look at another one. Forever and ever after! However, there is something so deliciously convenient about having some yummy fillings all parceled up in a tortilla or a beautiful fresh green Silverbeet leaf! This week, my Petite Produce Box is a little green fiesta and even though I said I’d never go ‘there’ again, it’s just too good an opportunity to miss. Roasted Spring Vegetable Burrito with Quinoa...

I may have mentioned once or twice that there’s a fair bit of ‘Greek’ in our house. It’s not all ouzo and plate smashing, but there is certainly always feta and lashings of olive oil. During the winter months we tend to eat a lot of comforting one pot wonders but as soon as the sun starts dancing again, we fall easily back in to our favourite eating habits. Mezze (shared plates). I love this style of eating; as the warmer season opens up to the change in produce it’s a lovely simple way to sample a little of everything....

I’ve been living by the sea for as long as I can remember, (with a stint ‘in land’ growing produce) met the man of my dreams in a little Greek fishing village and would often be found ‘hanging out’ with the local fishmonger as a child.

For her we still keep it quite simple; roasted or baked en papillote to seal in the flavour; but for us big kids, we like a little bit...

I’d like to think that throughout the year, we eat a little bit of everything in our house; you may have noted, vegetables are up there with my favourite things in life. I pride myself with having a broad appreciation for all. However, there’s always the odd one that slips under my radar. I truly am thankful for my Petite Produce Box for reminding me of the unsung heroes. It’s all too easy for me to cruise by certain veggies if they haven’t already been designated a purpose. Celery is a classic example. Used all too frequently for stocks and...

I promised myself I wouldn’t reference the weather..but how can I not when the sun has been shining so brightly?! Now, I probably shouldn’t go too wild, but…It’s been so long since we’ve had a bbq in our little house, I feel we deserve a little Al Fresco loving! This week, from my magical box of goodies I’m going to make some smoked tofu and vegetable red cabbage rolls. If tofu isn’t your thing, you could sub in some pre roasted mushrooms or even some meat. (Chicken or Pork works well with this recipe) I think this is the perfect...
