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.

I'm using air quotes around "salad" because let's be real—this is a proper meal disguised as rabbit food. Tender roast chicken (the good bits, not the sad leftover scraps) piled on fresh greens with our Cauliflower POWER 'Slaw, which is basically regular coleslaw that went to the gym and got really into functional fitness. The cauliflower slaw is crunchy, zingy, and pretends to be virtuous while secretly being delicious enough that you'll actually eat your vegetables without negotiating like a tired parent at 6pm. The chicken's herb-roasted and juicy, because dry chicken is a crime against humanity and I refuse to be complicit. This is the meal you order when you want to feel healthy but also don't want to eat something that tastes like penance. Perfect for those "I should probably eat a vegetable" moments, or when you need to balance out last night's halloumi nugget situation (no judgment—we've all been there).

Korea looked at fermentation — an ancient, slightly aggressive preservation technique that produces something that smells like a dare and tastes like a revelation — and said: yes, but what if we also added pork and made it sticky? The result is this. Slow-braised pork, lacquered in a sauce built around kimchi's funky, spicy depth, with ginger, a little sweetness, and the kind of umami that makes you put your fork down just to appreciate what's happening. Served with sushi rice because some things in life are non-negotiable. I first made this to impress someone at a dinner party. Reader, it worked. It has been in rotation ever since, which either speaks to its quality or to the fact that nobody has ever actually asked me to stop making it, and I'm choosing to interpret that as a standing ovation. No added gluten. Aggressively more-ish. The sushi rice is sticky in the good, intentional way rather than the Wednesday microwave accident way. 🥢

**Gluten Free Available** THIS AI PUMPKIN & TOFU CANNELONI PICTURED I NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING. It's really hard to photograph canneloni when its in a dish, smothered in sauce and melted cheese, so we had to resort to the dreaded AI, but at least it got your attention right? Surely we had you at "smothered in melted cheese'.... no further description needed.

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.

Each and every Spring Morning you'll find me, knife, fork and salt shaker in hand, crisp white napkin tucked into my pyjama top, kneeling over the loose soil waiting for these tender green spears to poke their head out from their seasonal slumber, innocent of the gastronomic rapture that awaits them. It plays hell with my employment prospects and is difficult to explain to the neighbours - but there you go, I've shared a secret.

Remember when you go to one of those cheap and nasty restaurants and you're served cubes of nasty feta, watery tomato and olives?? I hate that. Which is why my salad has THE LOVE. cherry tomatoes for a sweet pop of flavour, crumbled GREEK feta - which is creamier and more delicate than the cheap cubed garbage. Fresh herbs, cucumber and black olives.
