The kitchen is filled with a beautiful earthy aroma when the scones are ready. A great gluten-free alternative to enjoy smothered in whipped cream, fresh fruit or your favourite jam.
I really, really love tacos, but what I also love is the fact that you don’t need to load them full of meat (don’t get me wrong, I’m no vegetarian) to enjoy a tasty taco. Simple is best with certain foods, especially those made from scratch. I had some help in the form of inspiration from the veggie patch on this particular recipe. Zucchini, jalapeno, purslane, green cherry tomatoes and basil all picked from the veggie patch! This recipe is for two, but you could make a large batch and have everyone make their own tacos, it’s a really fun way to enjoy them!
I have so many zucchini coming from the veggie patch, I try to think of new ways to use them up, this one's a little twist on a Greek classic. It features the flavours I grew up with, Greek oregano, lemon juice and olive oil. The Greek Holy Trinity of cooking. So if you try just one of my recipes, make sure it’s this one! Try serving this with a Australian Pinot Noir or a crisp icey rosé - Opa!
If you don't know by now all of my recipes are gluten free because my partner is coeliac. I try to make him the food he can no longer eat - like doughnuts! This ones a baked version, not the best version or anything 'new' I'm sure, but it was good enough to sort out a craving. This recipe makes about 24 mini doughnuts, just the base, you can top it with whatever your heart desires. Since we both love bacon I thought id make a maple glaze and top it with crispy salty bacon! Again - this is not new, but it's a ripper of a combination.
Some plums from mums and some basil and shiso from the garden make this one hell of a sweet and salty treat! Watermelon and fetta was the original sweet & salty treat for me, I loved it as a child and I still enjoy it to this day. Traditionally saganaki is served with a wedge of lemon (which is yum!), but this version is great to share with other savoury mezedes and it must be eaten piping hot!
There's nothing more satisfying that popping out into the garden, picking some things from the patch and cooking with them straight away. Today's pick was zucchini (which we are currently consuming for breakfast, lunch and dinner!), zucchini flowers and shiso, also known as perilla.
Two lamb backstraps are incredibly generous for two, but once you taste it you will thank me for not sharing (and leftovers)! Nothing but loving looks while enjoying this one - it's a super sexy combination of flavours. Serve this fragrant fruity dish with a nice drop of red, any medium-bodied red will do. Your welcome ♡
Last month I had the pleasure of being Mount Zero Olives first ever Mount Zero Hero! Each week I shared an original recipe featuring Mount Zero produce. Very proud! With this week's recipe I played with Mount Zero falafel mix. Jazzed it up a little with a few herbs, some onion and pressed it on the sandwich press - just to be different! SO essentially it's a falafel pizza of sorts.
Last month I had the pleasure of being Mount Zero Olives first ever Mount Zero Hero! Each week I shared an original recipe featuring Mount Zero produce. Very proud! This time around I used there black beluga lentils. This dip is just like hummus, but with lentils instead of chickpeas. It makes a large batch of dip, unless you want to freeze half, you may want to cut down on the lentils.
Made to be enjoyed with crusty bread, these Greek baked beans can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner. A beautiful sweetness comes through from the peppers to balance the tomato, finished off with feta of course, a dish that should be eaten weekly!

Last month I had the pleasure of being Mount Zero Olives first ever Mount Zero Hero! Each week I shared an original recipe featuring Mount Zero produce. Very proud! With this recipe I used their fresh extra virgin olive oil to make a egg roll (savoury pancake of sorts). This recipe will impress for breakfast, it's super simple. My aim was to make a gluten free 'pita' kind of thing. I ventured into the veggie patch and picked a whole load of fresh greens (you can use any greens in season at the time), mixed with a little feta, fresh herbs and topped with Mount Zeros tasty black olive tapenade. You got yourself one killer breakfast.
