Creeeepy eggs with a devilish twist!! (the twist is food colouring and if you don't believe the devil had anything to do with this then you need to see my kids after half a glass of cordial) ***contains a small amount of food colouring
Turkey meatballs in a rich tomato sauce with mozzarella and eyeballs. This is pretty much my nightmare dish. One with judgy eyes and a knowing look. Like, how does it know I under-seasoned the meal??
Normally Sophie's cooking is something to be afraid of, but now you have even more reason to be TERRIFIED!!!! 6 mini Spooky eyeballs... What flavour?? Probably poison. I'm pretty sure she's been poisoning me for years.. can't imagine why, I'm a lovable rogue and the kids seem fond of me..
Tiny roasted potatoes with a spinach & herb sour cream. Side of Spooky anyone?? 6 pieces is a side for two.

First things first, the cabbage in this dish has been burnt on purpose. Good, now these tofu skewers are to die for and my wife cannot get enough of them, so if you have a hunger for delicious and healthy food and questionable taste in men then you will love this dish!!

Soups & Dips
I've probably made a million litres of chicken broth, and it's probably better than yours. It's the base of almost everything I do, and I carry a litre on me at all times in case I run into someone making soup in my travels. "Bone broth is highly nutritious. It contains bone-strengthening minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. Bone broth is also found to contain natural glucosamine and chondroitin from animal's connective tissues, which are both essential factors to maintain healthy joints. Bone broth is also a good source of collagen, which is found to have anti-aging capacity in diminishing fine lines and promote plumpness for our skin. The marrow from the bones contain essential amino acids which can help fight inflammation to prevent chronic diseases." said someone on the internet. Get some and drink it for better gut health or store it in the freezer and use it in sauces and soups.
Coconutty and dreamy this soup has all the yum of a night out in a fancy Thai takeaway, with all the smooth flavour of the Kenny G. CD they'd probably be playing. note to self - I gotta up my Date Night game or Soph WILL leave me.

Sides
Asparagus, if we don't eat it will take over, "Day of the Trifids" style. This week we pair with, not one, but THREE peas mostly because I couldn't decide on which to use, but also because I LOVE PEAS, (go on give peas a chance). Do your duty. Eat Asparagus. The Future of Monbulk depends upon it. Eat as a side or pair with simple brown rice.
Like normal rice but more expensive this pilaf has been cooked to perfection with a vegetable stock and spices to make it the perfect accompaniment to curries and cricket.
Its a classic tale of humble mash meets butter but.... plot twist!! This butter has lead a life of fear and resentment burnt by past lovers and friends.

***GF avilable as a fritatta (no pastry). Please write in notes section if you want GF*** I buy my bacon from German guy who sells it as a smokey slab of "finger lickin'" pork. I resist that urge and instead slice think lardons (no sniggering at the back of the class please). The mix it with eggs o onions and garlic. Slap bang in some puff pastry and Bob's your uncle (who can't stop talking about aliens - but it's still good to see him. Because he makes bacon and egg pies)
Coated with a GLUTEN-FREE blend of spices and flour this is our family's desert island food (assuming this island has a cold beer to wash it down!) Buttermilk-soaked chicken, golden fried. Mucho moreish..
