We're right on the cusp of shifting from winter to new season summer produce. Every year, I find it's about now that the once crisp, bursting with flavour apples I've been buying are just not doing it for me. Some just don't have the flavour, others are floury and a bit gross. But I never throw them, I just re-invent them like I've done here with this Apple Crumble Cake. Truth is, once cooked ...
This is my take on a Dutch style, Healthy Pea and Ham soup. I can't always source good quality ham hocks so I've improvised to replicate the flavour combo of smoked meat and legumes that I grew up with, but using a pork chop and bacon instead of the hock.

The ‘superfood’ tag is generally used to describe foods that are particularly high in essential nutrients, phytonutrients and antioxidants. ...
This Breakfast Hash Pie came about when my son was wanting me to make hash browns and I couldn't be bothered frying them individually. So, I came up with this 'lazy' version of a brekkie hash. We also have many mornings we have less than 20 minutes to eat and get out the door. So make ahead brekkie's are an essential part of my 'eating well' routine. The best thing about my Breakfast Hash Pie, ...
