Butternut galette recipe

 

I love this time of year, as spring shifts into summer – when the days stretch a little longer, the air feels lighter and we start craving meals that bridge the gap between cosy and fresh. This rustic galette is just that, a beautiful change-of-season dish that celebrates summer’s arrival while keeping the comfort of flaky pastry and roasted vegetables. It’s simple yet elegant, making it perfect for a relaxed lunch in the sun or an easy dinner al fresco.

Perfectly baked jacket potato with mushroom sauce

 

The other day, I found myself craving a classic baked potato—crisp and golden on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. It’s not the prettiest dish, but there’s something deeply comforting about it. Hearty, satisfying, and rich with umami, it’s the perfect vegetarian lunch or dinner for chilly winter days.

Top shots of bowls of snacks

 

Let me start this post by saying that as parents I don’t think we need to be packing gourmet Pinterest-worthy lunchboxes every day, we are pressured enough as it is! However, I do think that variation and balance are important, and so the purpose of this post is simply to put lots of ideas out there so you can pick and choose the components that you think your children will enjoy and that are do-able in your home.

This is my favourite kind of summer lunch – a satisfying salad filled to the brim with fresh flavours. I chose to use sorghum grain for this tasty salad, and used tabbouleh inspired additions including tomatoes, cucumber and fresh herbs. The salad is tossed in an olive oil and lemon juice dressing, and it really is a treat for the taste buds.

The mornings are getting lighter (yay!) but it’s fairly cold and wet here in the Cape. As we head into spring I find myself turning to lighter dishes whilst still craving the comfort that comes from a hearty winter meal. This halloumi and couscous salad is the perfect example of that, and who doesn’t love melting halloumi.

Smokey pulled pork buns

This recipe is from a recent campaign I worked on, and I simply had to share it with you – it’s that good. The oven does most of the work here, and although the cooking time is a few hours the actual hands on prep time is minimal. The cooking time is worth it, you’ll be rewarded with tender pork that just falls apart. These smokey pulled pork buns are the business!

So here’s a fun fact about moi, I am obsessed with roasted veggies. And while my Insta feed is often filled with sweet treats I am truly a huge veggie fan. It’s also no secret that veggies are enjoying their time in the limelight and this recipe is a delicious way to enjoy them.

Chicken and rice bowl with macadamia dukkah

We’re all familiar with the adage “you eat with your eyes first” and I couldn’t agree more. I also think that having lots of colour on your plate is always a good idea, but I deviated from this idea in today’s recipe which I developed for Cheers Magazine earlier this year.
