A downloadable, easily printable PDF that tells you exactly what you need. Broken into sections such as Meat and or Dairy, Fresh Produce and Pantry items.

GARLIC AND LEMON LINGUINI WITH BLISTERED CHERRY TOMATOES AND BASIL

ROASTED TOMATO AND RED PEPPER TORTILLA SOUP WITH GRILLED SWEET CORN AND AVOCADO

   This soup. Just, well it’s everything. If you’ve never used tortillas to thicken your soup you’ve got to do it. It’s genius as it makes it creamier without having to use cream! If a soup can be summery and still hot then this is it. It’s perfect for cities like Melbourne when you’re blessed with summer produce but there’s just as much chance of a cold 6 degree day in December as there is a 34 degree one. The toppings are out of control and the main reason for that summer vibe.

ULTIMATE RAINBOW BUDDHA BOWL

Ultimate Rainbow Buddha Bowl 6This salad bowl is brimming with flavour, texture and colour (obviously!). I love bowl food like this. You can easily leave out anything you don’t like or add other things you have on hand. The important things to tick off are all in the balance of things.

ROASTED JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE SOUP

Roasted jerusalem artichoke soup

It’s definitely still soup weather and this creamy nutty number is so comforting. Jerusalem artichokes are something that I definitely underuse in my kitchen, especially as they are so rich in flavour. Roasting them before adding to the soup creates so much more flavour.

MIXED GRAIN SALAD BOWL WITH PUMPKIN, PICKLED CABBAGE AND GOCHUJANG DRESSING

Mixed grain bowl with gochujang dressing 2   I’m a big grain bowl fan. I usually make a different combination every second week, using different vegetables and dressings to make the usual seem like something new and shiny. This one is delicious and great for clearing out the pantry when you’ve got little bits of this and that when it comes to grains.
