This Walnut, Coffee and Pear Loaf makes a delicious morning tea treat. Made with sweet pears, crunchy walnuts and a handful of pantry staples, it's simple to put together and full of flavour.

And no, you can't actually taste the coffee! It simply enhances and balances the natural sweetness of the pears.

This was my first time baking with the PiqaBoo pears and they absolutely impressed me. Their crisp, Nashi-like texture held up beautifully during baking, creating a loaf that was wonderfully moist with lovely pockets of pear throughout.

Seasonal eating is the secret to better flavour, better value, and better nutrition.

One veggie that’s shining this week is Caulini Flower and if you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the perfect time!

With its delicate, coral-like florets and long, slender stems, it’s as beautiful as it is delicious. The flavour is mild, sweet, and slightly nutty, and the best part? You can eat the whole thing – stems and all so there’s absolutely no waste.

My favourite way to enjoy it is simple: toss it with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, then roast it on high heat until the tips become beautifully charred and crispy. It’s sweet, tender, and completely irresistible.

Have you tried Caulini Flower before? I'd love to hear your favourite way to cook it! 👇

Butternut Pumpkin was a great value veggie this week!

What is everyone planning to make with their pumpkin?

Looking back through some old posts, I've realised just how much we enjoy pumpkin around here! It's such a versatile vegetable and works in everything from soups and salads to curries and baking.

I'd love to hear what everyone is making this week.

When winter feels more like summer, it’s definitely salad weather!

Today I made the viral Erewhon Kale & White Bean Salad, and it absolutely lives up to the hype.

The best part? No cooking required. Just toss together kale, white beans, avocado, pumpkin seeds, and h**p seeds, then drizzle over a zesty lemon-mustard dressing.

Packed with plant-based protein, healthy fats, fibre, and plenty of flavour, it’s the kind of salad that actually keeps you full.

Have you tried it yet?

Delicious brunch in the weekend sunshine ☀️

Okonomirosti is the ultimate mash-up of a crispy rosti and Japan’s famous savoury pancake, okonomiyaki. Made with shredded potatoes, cabbage, onion, corn, bacon, chives and a little grated cheese, it’s packed with flavour and crunch in every bite.

Finished with a drizzle of Japanese mayo, chives and a sprinkle of furikake.

Butter Chicken is always a winner in our house, so I was excited to try the new Hart & Soul Butter Chicken Recipe Base this week.

It couldn't have been easier to prepare. I started by sautéing some diced onion, then added the chicken, followed by carrots, potato and peas. Next came the recipe base, a spoonful of tomato paste and some pouring cream. After a gentle 10 minute simmer, we had a rich, creamy and flavour packed butter chicken ready to enjoy.

For a fun twist, we used it as a pie filling instead of serving it with rice and it was an absolute winner!

If you're looking for a quick, comforting meal that still delivers plenty of flavour, this one is well worth adding to your shopping list.

🥄 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴

Last week’s order included some beautiful, plump blackberries and while it was tempting to eat them all straight from the punnet, we managed to save enough to bake a batch of Pear and Blackberry Muffins over the weekend.

The combination of juicy, tart blackberries and sweet pears was absolutely delicious. Perfect for morning tea in the glorious sunshine.

The good news? Blackberries are back again this week for just $3.84 a punnet, so if you missed them last time, now’s your chance. They’re wonderful in muffins, crumbles, cakes, smoothies, or simply enjoyed fresh.
