Elderflower - Summer's Secret Weapon
Mediterranean Pasta Salad
This is the best and only pasta salad, you will ever need in your life. We can shake on it if you’d like? Here’s why: it literally combines everything you need in a dish, in texture, flavour, colour, nutritional balance and indulgence. Even Masterchef would be impressed. So simple, packed with flavour, born from the simple desire to eat all our favourite things. And whaddya know, perfect leftover-pasta-bestover-recipe (how's that for a tongue-twister): my mum’s Mediterranean Pasta Salad.
Kohlrabi: Okonomiyaki + Slaw
I have been fortunate to have experienced cultures from across the world, which in turn has led me to crave the discovery of all sorts of global cuisines, generally through my personal consumption, but whenever I can, through local cooking classes. But in all honesty, Japanese food is never something I properly looked into, other than endless sushi dates and that Sushi making party that one time...Until my mum brought home the strangest looking vegetable I'd seen in a long time, and Food 52 just so happened to feature it on their CSA. Too perfect of a coincidence NOT to try my hand at it. Hence, Kohlrabi Okonomiyaki with lightly pickled Kohlrabi Slaw.

5-Minute Shortcut Granola
I can never remember to make Granola, until I actually want Granola, by which time it is far too late to make any, and I just don’t have the freedom to purchase beautiful artisanal granola to satisfy each craving. A friend once said, through necessity is born genius. Not claiming to be genius by any means, but merely to say that through this existential-granola-dilemma, a solution was born: Shortcut Granola.
Mini Champagne Pistachio + Raspberry Cakes
It’s amazing how much fun you can have with people you’ve known for literally barely more than 24 hours, just because they’re the right people, in the right place, at the right time. All brought together because of the love they have for two people. And a good party. And an incredible buffet dessert bar… Point is, if there's Champagne in the icing, you know it's a party.
