Healthy chicken and red bean quesadillas
November 11th, 2009
A very cost effective old favourite from University days, my housemates used to make this for me, and I loved it! Of course, back then we used to pile on the cheese, and I reckon we might have even added a slice of butter for good measure — it surprise me though, to find that [...]
Adzuki bean hummus/ hommous
August 8th, 2009
Chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, salt, olive oil are the typical ingredients of hommus. Some people, my husband included are sensitive to chickpeas, and get abdominal discomfort when eating it. Adzuki beans have a delicious nutty taste not unlike chickpeas, so we thought we would give it a go. The result was superb!

Baked lemon and ricotta cheesecake
July 6th, 2009
Cheesecake … low GI? Low fat? Ok for a diabetic diet? You wouldn’t think so, but in small serves, and by altering the ingredients a little, you can make a very tasty dessert. Cheesecake is normally made with cream cheese, cream, eggs, sweet biscuits and butter with variations. I’ve changed the cream cheese to ricotta, [...]
Mushroom Soup
July 5th, 2009
This recipe is loosely based on a recipe by Damien Pignolet for mushroom broth with herb cream crust. I have made the original version, and it is very tasty. It is made with creme fraiche and cream which is a very special treat, but not great for every day. This much more cholesterol friendly version [...]
Pea, pear, basil and mint garden salad
June 29th, 2009
Take advantage of the crisp pears available in Australia in early winter, bursting with freshness and not overly sweet to create this fresh tasty salad. It makes a wonderful side with “Herb-stuffed roasted lamb with garlic confit”, or with a sprinkle of a few roasted almonds or pecans and some thinly sliced multigrain sourdough bread [...]

June 26th, 2009
This very simple recipe combines the hearty taste of roast vegetables and white wine with the fresh tang of lemon and herbs. The zucchini can be replaced with another vegetable of your choice, such as pumpkin, sweet potato, or whatever you love best! Another tasty addition is a few anchovy fillets added to the vegetables [...]

This delicious tuna-and-beans recipe only take five minutes to prepare and is tangy and light, yet satisfying, thanks to the high protein content from the tuna and beans.
