  • Recipe: Roast Pumpkin Salad with Baba ghanoush & Za’atar

    Vegetarian     Baba ghanoush, the famous smoky eggplant dip, and za'atar, a tangy spice blend, are both recurrent sides in Middle Eastern cuisine.

  • Recipe: Roast Tomato Soup with Quinoa & Feta

    Gluten Free, Vegetarian   In this recipe quinoa enriches a rustic, rich tomato soup with protein and its distinct texture. We've recently got some fantastic Australian grown quinoa in, and we highly recommend it!

  • Recipe: Simple Parsnip Mash

    Gluten free, Vegetarian   A lighter take on organic parsnip mash   In this recipe parsnips are combined with yoghurt and olive oil for a mash that's creamy without lashings of butter and cream, making it a perfect accompaniment to roast lamb or chicken. Happily so, because the sweet and unusually nutty taste of parsnips is just lovely with rich meats! Choose medium sized parsnips for this recipe as big ones will be too fibrous and small ones will absorb too much water.
