Char grilled Zucchini Salad
This Char grilled Zucchini Salad is stunning side to prepare if you have the BBQ on. My kids aren't fans of the 'spewkini'. But chargrill it with feta and top with a cracking dressing and I've found a winner. This makes a great side to go with any kind or meat, fish, tempeh or as a stand alone dish. If you're a home gardener and it's summer, you probably have a glut of zucchinis. Rather than ...

Detox Ice Blocks
At this time of the year, I'm trying my hardest to wean myself and my kids off the sweet stuff (it's been a very indulgent festive season) whilst really re-focussing on including as many veggies in our diet as possible.

Summer Zucchini Salad
This beautiful, fresh, summer zucchini salad really showcases this season's produce. I developed it as my garden has exploded with zucchinis, but seeing as zucchini is one of my kids least favourite vegetables, I had to think outside the square to make the most of my abundant supply. They dislike zucchini so much they have nick-named it 'spew-chini,' so I've had to work really hard to bring them ...
