Turkish Delight Panna Cotta

Growing up in Australia Turkish delights were common place in our household. I remember us always having a box of them in the pantry. For some reason I’ve always had a love/hate relationship when it comes to Turkish delight, I remember going to birthday parties as a kid in Australia and often being offered a specific brand of Turkish delight covered in milk chocolate, wrapped in pink foil… if you’re an Aussie reading this you will most likely know the chocolate Turkish delight bar I’m referring to! I don’t know why but I never really enjoyed eating that chocolate covered delight, luckily though my mum would often buy traditionally made ones from Persian/Turkish supermarkets and those were the ones I enjoyed best.

This cucumber salad has 8 ingredients, 2 of those are optional so you can see it really is a simple. This simple cucumber salad can also be kept covered in the fridge for a few days to enjoy.

Apple chia pudding with kiwi fruit

A few years ago I stumbled upon a recipe for chia pudding and ever since then I’ve loved making and eating them. I don’t have them on a regular basis, but every now and then I get a craving for one and make a small batch. I recently made an apple chia pudding and topped it with some kiwi fruit. Kiwi fruit is in season right now and I love the taste of it. The apple and the kiwi in this chia pudding work perfectly since the apple is sweet and the kiwi is kind of tart. [Read more…]

Honey glazed cinnamon and macadamia crusted salmon on a plate of spinach.

I am a self-confessed cooking show junkie! I love watching cooking shows, especially the competition style ones like MasterChef or Top Chef. Lately I’ve been watching the latest season of Australia’s My Kitchen Rules. I’m obsessed with that show right now, plus I love watching it because of the Aussie accents… reminds me of home!

Anyway on a recent episode one of the couples made a dish using cinnamon and salmon which I thought was interesting. They made a cinnamon biscuit/cookie to go with their salmon, but in the end it didn’t work out so well for them. I was intrigued by the idea though and decided to give my own twist on the whole cinnamon and salmon idea. Cinnamon is one of those spices that can be used in both savoury and sweet dishes and a quick Google search of ‘salmon and cinnamon’ will bring up quiet a few results. [Read more…]
