Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
It's a big birthday time in our family and this is a special cake for those moments
Make sure to whip the oil for at least 5 minutes so you can achieve the velvet texture that lifts it to something wonderful.
After trying many recipes this was the winner!

Slow Roasted Lamb Shanks with Anchovies and Tomatoes.
As per a reader comment at the bottom of the recipe I served this last night with soft parmesan and feta polenta
- it may be the way to a man's heart as the response from the men was over the top!
Perfect winter dish for this chilly week in Sydney.

Greek Spinach and Feta Pie (Spanakopita)
This has become a lunch box item on request!
The other interesting and awesome part is the kids now prefer with half kale half spinach!
I use whatever pastry I have and make little sausage roll sizes now and freeze the extras in twos for defrosting one each.

A rekindled family midweek favourite is the Chao Shao Quick Roast Pork - it reminds the kids of the amazing pork at Mr Wong and cooks in 12 minutes!
I cut the fillet up into large pieces as they love the crusty end bits the most so I get more of those morsels to dish out.
I don't have the red bean curd sauce at the moment and it still works well.
Too easy.

I am cooking up an Indian feast based around my favourite fish curry with fenugreek, and this is always a side dish at my Indian banquets.
I adore puy lentils and spinach is just the most perfect green to have with Indian food.
