A jolly good morning to you!
A sunny and indulgent brekky number for you…..because…… well treat yourself.
We are here. We made it.
End of lockdown ‘n all 💛💛💛

Dill omelette with smoked salmon
Serves 4

2 tablespoons of sour cream
Zest and juice of ½ a lemon
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
6-8 eggs tablespoons of thickened cream or milk
2 teaspoons of fresh dill
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
4 slices of smoked salmon
1teaspoon of salmon roe (optional)
A few additional dill sprigs
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

To make the lemon sour cream, simply place the sour cream in a bowl and
add the zest and juice of half a lemon. Season with sea salt & pepper and stir
to combine. Set aside.
Whisk eggs in a bowl along with cream or milk. Add the chopped dill and season with sea salt and ground black pepper. Do not over mix. The eggs should only just be amalgamated.
Place a large non-stick pan on high and when hot, add the oil & butter.
When the butter is foaming and starting to turn nut brown, add the eggs.
When eggs begin to set around the edges, use a spatula and pull the
cooked edge towards the middle of the pan, allowing the uncooked egg
mixture to spill out to the side of the pan and under the omelette. After a
couple of minutes, check that the bottom side of the omelette has nice
colour. Fold the first third of the omelette in towards the centre, then the last third over the top. Allow to stay in the hot pan to cook for another 30 seconds.
Turn the omelette onto a plate & top with a dollop of the lemon sour cream.
Add a few strips of smoked salmon and the salmon roe (optional)and finish with some fresh dill sprigs.

I'd like you to meet a super tasty Asian dish that doesn't require home delivery and wait-time? Now, that's my kind of quick and easy midweek meal.

I had a very solid day in the office today. Writing new recipes and blog posts & finishing the lovely weekly newsletter which will hit inboxes tomorrow morning.

This here is a super versatile (super speedy) Chicken stir fry.
Healthy 'fast food' at home. Winner winner chicken dinner.
(For a vegetarian version, substitute either rinsed black beans or cooked quinoa for the chicken mince). We’re a half meat-eating & half vegetarian kind-a family. You might be too.

A full printable recipe can be found over on the blog. Simply search ‘quick & easy stir fried chicken’.
❤️
Ingredients :
4 garlic cloves roughly chopped
2 large red chillies roughly chopped
A good pinch of sea salt
3 tablespoons of oil for cooking
500 g chicken mince free-range**
1 cup of beans cut into 3cm lengths & sliced on the diagonal
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of fish sauce
2 tablespoons of soy sauce substitute with tamari if you need this to be gluten-free
4 spring onions washed and chopped. Separate the bottom ends to the greener tops.

To serve :
Lettuce cups and your choice of steamed rice or Asian style noodles.
Place the roughly chopped garlic in a mortar and pestle along with just one of the chopped chillies. Add a good pinch of salt. Pound the chilli and garlic into a paste (the salt acts as an abrasive & also helps bring out the natural flavour). Heat a wok or a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat.
Add the garlic & chilli paste to the wok or pan & fry for 10-15 seconds. Add the chicken.
Cook, frequently tossing, until the chicken loses its raw pink colour. Add the beans and cook for a minute. 
Add the sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce (or tamari), the lower end of the spring onions & stir fry for a minute longer. 
Remove from the heat & stir through the chopped Spring onion tops. Serve straight away with lettuce cups and your choice of steamed rice or Asian style noodles.

Melbourne - You are the best.
What a ride. Lots and lots of feelings with today's announcements. I am sure you do also.

Shall we make dumplings together to celebrate? Why the heck not. 🎉 🎉 🎉
I would love to cook with you very much. Our online classes will remain. I absolutely love them & love cooking with you.
This particular class has been scheduled for a couple of weeks now but guess what - now you can have your best mate or family in your home to cook by your side (if you choose).

Location is absolutely no problem. No sir-eeeeee. This class is an online interactive class that you join from anywhere.

Join me next Sunday 24th of October 3-5pm for a fun dumplings masterclass.
This class caters for both meat-eaters and vegetarians.

We make about 80 dumplings in this particular class so a dumplings feast is all yours to enjoy after the class as well as likely being able to stock your freezer up.

What a delicious night in.

Click here to join us & cook along to create a dumplings feast.
Sunday 24/10 at 3pm.

Proud as punch.
Weekend paper deliveries for the fam are Ned's jam.

We have no idea how he knows when the weekends come around but they are the only days we get the papers delivered. He wakes up squeaking, ready for service.
It's so darn cute.

Thanks Neddy 💛 🗞

Saturday morning. Dreaming of faraway places and

Saturday morning.

Dreaming of faraway places and adventures on the horizon, to enjoy with family & friends on the other side of this very long lockdown.

It seems to help me a lot.

Have you been doing the same?

A warming bowl of Tom Kha Gai helps hugely too.
It’s rich and creamy. It’s tangy and salty and it is absolutely everything a Thai soup should be. You can choose your own adventure with the amount of chilli that goes in too.
This soup is very quick and easy to make and all of the ingredients are very easy to shop for.

I've written the recipe up for you to enjoy. It can also be made to be vegetarian and vegan friendly.

The link to the recipe is in my Insta bio over on the Relish Mama blog.
I hope this gorgeous soup puts a little sunshine into your weekend 💛.

Good morning! Just a quick note to wish you a very

Fried rice that doesn't require home delivery and

Fried rice that doesn't require home delivery and wait-time? Now, that's my kind of quick and easy midweek meal.

This is our go-to Fried rice.
Always with an egg on top and always with ginger. As for the rest, it is one of the best ways to use the lovely produce that is so good for you & sitting in your crisper waiting for you to work your magic. Healthy 'fast food' at home. Winner winner fried rice dinner 🙌🏻

Healthy oil for cooking
2 garlic cloves, crushed or very finely chopped
A thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated or crushed
Sea salt
1 cup thinly sliced leek (white and light-green parts only), washed well
4 cups rice (preferably jasmine), cooked or leftover *
4 teaspoons soy sauce
Free-range eggs
A drizzle of sesame oil
2 spring onions, sliced julienne (optional)

In a large frying pan, heat half the oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and brown. With a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels and salt lightly.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add remaining oil as well as the leek. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender but not coloured.
Raise heat to medium and add rice. Cook, stirring well until heated through. Add soy sauce and season to taste.
In a non-stick frying pan, fry eggs in a little extra oil, sunny-side-up, to your liking but preferably runny.

A quick & easy dinner contender 💛

Here’s a big high five for Ned and all of the other ‘Neds’ & other dogs in lockdown. Because these dogs are clearly at the point of….
