Recipe: lime & tarragon scallops

Seafood is so good for you – assuming you buy good quality of course. Scallops are a great choice – especially with a bit of lime!

Recipe: bacon wrapped chicken drumsticks

Recipe: bacon wrapped chicken drumsticks

These are always a winner at barbecues. It helps that they can be prepared in advance, leaving less to worry about when it’s barbecue time. Whilst these are bacon wrapped, you can also try pancetta instead, which I find tends to be easier to work with. Oh – and bacon really isn’t all that bad providing what you buy is good quality – so there’s no reason not to enjoy.

Recipe: spicy almond lamb

Another great barbecue idea, this can be prepared the day before. The longer the lamb has to marinate, the better the flavour.

Recipe: herbed pork skewers

Recipe: herbed pork skewers

This is another great barbecue option and can be prepared a few hours ahead and stored in the fridge. The best thing is it is super simple and quick to prepare. If you grow your own herbs, experiment with what you have on hand – fresh herbs give far more flavour than their dried equivalents.

Recipe: coconut seafood soup

Recipe: coconut seafood soup

This delicious Thai inspired seafood soup is best made right before you serve it. If you want it a little hotter, increase the amount of chilli you add (or if you’re extra daring, don’t remove the seeds!)

Recipe: spinach & walnut beef rotolo

Recipe: spinach & walnut beef rotolo

Whether you like to call them Rotolo or simply beef rolls, these are always a hit. They look great and are perfect for entertaining, as they can be made a few hours in advance. If you do make them in advance, just hold off the slicing, and do that right before you serve. For a bit of colour variety try using some brightly coloured capsicum (bell peppers) in place of the spinach. Make sure you tie…

Shopping for 10 cents

Shopping for 10 cents

You can’t get much for 10 cents these days, so I was amazed to see iHerb have currently got 7 trial products available for just $0.10 each (USD). What’s the deal with trial products? Well you get to try a new product, or sample, with a maximum of two per order. Using code DUV741, you also get $5 discount on your first order, not bad hey!

Recipe: Fish Head Stock

Recipe: Fish Head Stock

Whilst home-made bone broth or chicken stock is pretty common place, people still seem to turn their noses up at Fish Stock. This is a huge shame, because it really doesn’t get much more nutritious than this. Fish head stock is packed with fat soluble vitamins and crucially the thyroid gland, which gives us the thyroid hormone – hugely significant in our metabolism.

How to season cast iron cookware

How to season cast iron cookware

If you were lucky enough to get your hands on a cast iron frying pan for Christmas this guide will tell you exactly how to season and look after it to make sure it does the job and lasts for a long time. If you haven’t got any cast iron cookware, it’s definitely worth looking out for second-hand. So long as it has no cracks or chips it will be as good as new once you clean and season it.

Recipe: Lemon Ginger Chicken Wings

Recipe: Lemon Ginger Chicken Wings

These chicken wings are great to throw on the barbecue. I make them the day before to allow the flavours to fully marinate into the chicken, but if you’re short of time, a shorter marinate will work too. I always make up a big batch too, meaning left-overs for lunch!

6 things to do with left over herb stems

6 things to do with left over herb stems

When a recipe calls for a few fresh basil leaves, a bit or parsley or oregano, what do you do with the stems that get left behind?

//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js //

If you’ve been throwing them away – STOP!

Use them whole

For big stems like rosemary, try adding them whole to sauces and soups, then removing them whole before serving.
