Recipe of the Week - Meatballs Baked in Passata

Meatballs Baked in Passata

Based on a Jamie Oliver recipe this has been a winner this week.

For the family I roll little ones for the kids to enjoy and leave out the lemon, plus I even made a huge batch so I could serve some at a kiddy birthday gathering without the passata, just served with tomato sauce on the side.

The adults adore the recipe as is, so is a wonderful dinner party meal that you can make well in advance and bake away trough the early part of the evening.

Asian Duck and Mango Salad

Happy Chinese New Year!

This is the main dish I served for my last big birthday bash as it is perfect in summer and I adore this combination of Chinese roast duck, mango and a fresh salad with a beautiful roasted hazelnut dressing.

Amazing.

Based on a favourite lunch at the Tipsy Fig in Milton NSW.

Easy to double or triple to serve the masses too.

Recipe of the Week - Chorizo and Peppers with Chickpeas

Chorizo and Peppers with Chickpeas

A great midweek meal full of punchy flavour, just add bread.

It simmers away nicely to develop the flavours like a stew so you can wrap up all the evening chores while it bubbles on the stove.

This is a regular in our house, especially once crazy school routine starts, and it also freezes well so make a good batch of it.
