We take Chocolate Mousse and up it a little by making it a delicious frozen desert, called Semifreddo which in Italian means 'half-cold' or ‘half-frozen'. Because of the eggs in the recipe, it never really hardens up like ice would when you freeze it, so it stays as a silky creamy decadent dessert! Try it - we think you will love it too!

When I lived in Italy I learned a few things, one was that this is not how Italians make Bolognese! The other was that food slowly and lovingly cooked tastes a million times better. This is our 24 hour slow cooked Bolognese Sauce. Great on pasta, zoodles, roast potatoes, and even in a toastie!

As I type this it occurs to me how many recipes we have that use mushrooms. As a child I was a devout mushroom hater. It was only later in life that I have slowly (very slowly!) added them into meals that I eat regularly. One way is in a creamy sauce like in a stroganoff, or like this in a rich gravy. This is simple, comfort in a bowl.

This is a relatively simple curry that gives more of a flavour bomb than you would expect! Healthy and filling because of the chickpeas, spicy from the paprika, cumin and then with the addition of cayenne pepper for a bit of a kick. Definitely needs the yoghurt and a squeeze of lime juice to round it out. Served on a bed of rice to make it a full meal.

Classic! With our favourite sliced Central highlands ham and Jarlsberg Cheese, this is delicious fresh, warmed through in the microwave, or oven to make it crispy - or even in the sandwich press!

I have been saving the ham bones from Christmas, waiting ever so patiently for the weather to start to chill so I could make this one that brings back memories of Autumn growing up - and of my poor mum cleaning pea and ham soup off the ceiling after her pressure cooker "released" it all out the top!!! It took me up until last year to finally get a pressure cooker after watching my mum do that so many times. I now understand why she persisted and am very relieved with how the technology has improved and happy to report that I have not had to clean any soups off any ceilings since using it! :-)

This is a heart-warming French classic meal which was popularized after the iconic movie named after it was released. This meal consists of slowly baked end of summer vegetables like eggplant, tomatoes and zucchini in a rich red sauce. We add cannelloni beans, making it a perfect one pot meal. It is Gluten Free and Vegan and it's sure to make you and your stomach know why this meal is famous.

As the weather starts to chill, this soup is always the first one I make. Slow roasted pumpkin, onion and garlic, served with a dash of sour cream and crusty bread! So warming and comforting!

Teriyaki Chicken as we had it in Japan is amazing, light, not too sweet and not too sticky, and served on a bed of sushi rice! It was great - but this is not it! This is a dish that pays homage to the Teriyaki chicken and rice I used to love getting in the food court under Sydney Westfields/Myers at a place called Hokka Hokka. it was not traditional. It was sticky! It was sweet! The rice came with peas, corn and carrot mixed through - which actually was need with that sweet sauce! And of course, I always asked for extra sauce!!
