Making bread takes a bit of effort so you really want it to pay off!

STAY SAFE ON YOUR MANDOLIN - Plus a salad 8:52

1M ago8:52

When a cookbook author says they "Cherish this recipe. It's my baby!" Should we believe them? 8:00

Cookbook authors reach for a few phrases that suck me in every time. If someone says, "I've tried it many other ways, but THIS way is the best! I can't veganise it!" - - I tend to believe them.

Getting Modern with Miso 11:05

2M ago11:05

11:05

Simon and I are both a bit weirded out when ingredients used in a traditional way in one's respective childhood home - become modernised and used in new and creative ways. Modern food! Whut?

Burnt Basque Cheesecake! 9:04

2M ago9:04

9:04

Basque Cheesecake was all the rage a couple of seasons ago and now I'm making it almost weekly. Partly because it's a classic, is easy, and super-yummy, and partly because I am trying not to get my scrawny Asian ass kicked in this race I'm competing in Very Freakin Soon. DON'T ASK ME ABOUT THE RACE! Let's talk about cheesecake instead! YOU NEED: A …

CELEBRATE THE PEAR 6:03

2M ago6:03

6:03

Simon and I are both dismayed to hear that pears have grown so "unpopular" that local growers have been ripping up their trees to try to plant something more lucrative. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-17/pears-out-of-favour-with-shoppers/102961848 Why not just enlist us to plug the pear?

In this episode, Yumi asks questions about olive oil, Simon answers.

Fart Phobia? And a fart-free recipe for Black Bean Ragu (vegan) 8:20

3M ago8:20

8:20

It sounds silly but farting is a genuine consideration in a lot of peoples' cooking, especially those of us with the most tedious of all the tedious food intolerances, #FODMAP. Garlic and onion are the devil to our digestive systems and a "bad case of the farts" is way worse than it sounds! BLACK BEAN RAGU - NO FARTS! Dice 2 medium eggplant to a 1c…

Rhubarb only has a short season, but that just makes it more glorious!

Winter Veg Fritters - with AMAZING HACK 8:03

Tomato and olive rice 5:30

5M ago5:30

[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] We’ve talked no-stir risottos before, but there’s a whole FAMILY of oven-baked rice dishes out there that do a great job of unchaining you from the stove and putting you back into where you need to be! This one is a sort of riff on all things summer salad, in rice form. Bit weird, but it kind of works. It makes use of short-g…

Slow cooked sausage pasta sauce 6:18

5M ago6:18

6:18

[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] "Incredibly easy" is Simon's promise here, but it also has the word "slow" in it, so this isn't the pasta sauce you make when in a rush. One thing I like about talking food with Simon is that he knows the origins of foods and food ideas. This particular recipe came from a game-changing Italian restaurant from England way back…

CONFESSION: I had brought something into the studio today to show Simon and Alyssa (our glorious producer). It was a food I'd cooked that had FAILED.
