It’s been a serious cold snap in Melbourne this week and it has me craving ramen and comfort food. But it’s Melbourne, so the week ahead is actually looking nice and warmish so I probably won’t be starting on soup just yet… I’ll ease into that sort of thing with curry 😉
The amount of times I’ve served these and heard, ‘Papaya, that’s like another word for pawpaw right?’ makes me want to start this post by saying unequivocally no. Super different fruit and flavour. And the delicate sweetness of papaya and the sort of mango like texture make it perfect for salsa.
The last couple of weeks have been so fun but have certainly lacked down time! With catering, recipe development and teaching workshops, on top of refurbishing a whole lot of mid century furniture for the little side line my brother and I do with @hausevintagefurniture, it’s certainly be full to the brim. But no actual complaints, I love having loads of different things going on it keeps me feeling inspired and excited by the different stuff I get to do.
This is such a yummy and versatile dip and a great alternative to dairy options. Cashews blend so well once they’ve been soaked in water and make creamy luxurious dips, sauces and treats. This is a plant food version of a chilli cream cheese dip and it’s delicious.
These are so easy. Like ridiculously easy. As long as you have a food processor you can make them in mere minutes. I even made the hummus myself as I was getting the food processor out and I didn’t even need to clean it between tasks. So efficient. I really looooove being efficient. My true nerd colours are shining through right now.
Well hello there autumn, aren’t you a semi-welcome change. Semi-welcome because summer is wonderful and I love the long sunny days but man the hot sweaty nights are the worst.
These noodles are oh so simple and really tasty. Made with chicken mince and fresh vegetables they’re super quick to cook and you simply toss the cooked rice noodles through at the end and voila! It also means that things don’t get gluggy and sticky.
This week has been a struggle from one illness to the next but I think I’m finally coming out of it! Could not have been a better time for a long weekend. I have been lax on the eating and cooking because of said illness but got right back into this weekend so I have yummy things coming at you next week.
I did something a little bit naughty last week… I skipped the meal plans post! It was my last weekend in London and I decided to give myself an actual holiday and completely switch off which meant not blog post, no instagram posts, just normal life. I need to do this more as it’s the ultimate relaxation and I hadn’t realised how long it had been since I’d done that. But I’m back now! With two new plans for you all.
