  Gorgeous dish, and great way to make use of end of season fennel. I cooked the fennel for a bit longer than in the recipe

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Janni Kyritsi's wild weed pie

  • pennyvr on August 16, 2015

    Made this using silverbeet from the shops and only a handful of greens from my garden. It should be great made with slightly old greens from the garden, will try it when I have some.

• Poached quince

  • Melanie on May 17, 2015

    Lovely flavour, I can never get enough of quinces at this time of the year (I think the magic of their changing colour is quite apt for autumn). This is a very simple preparation that can either be eaten simply as poached fruit or used in other recipes. The leftover poaching syrup also makes for great cordial.

• Puff pastry pear tarts

  • lorraine_ovhpjb on May 08, 2026

    Page 34 Delicious

• Pesto muffins

  • sailor on June 24, 2013

    these are moist and delicious kids love them. Great way to get them to eat beetroot which I find they don't normally like.

• Baby beetroot with spinach, crisp ginger and a curry-flavoured dressing

  • lorraine_ovhpjb on May 09, 2026

    Amazing flavours

• Tony Tan's simple curry powder

  • lorraine_ovhpjb on May 08, 2026

    Easy

• Beetroot and chocolate muffins

  • sailor on June 24, 2013

    These are moist and delicious and a great way to get kids to eat beetroot.

• Italian almond and carrot cake

  • Kate123 on January 23, 2012

    Best carrot cake recipe ever. Note make sure egg whites are at room temperature and beater and bowl are super clean. I usually beat the egg whites first, set aside, then go ahead and beat egg yolks and sugar.

• Four ways with lightly steamed cauliflower and browned breadcrumbs

  • pennyvr on August 16, 2015

    The caper & parmesan variation is delicious

• Lamb shanks braised with celeriac

  • chezsandj on January 03, 2021

    Great! Easy to do and tasty. The spice mix is a good addition (but don't wipe out the oil after searing the meat, or you lose the flavour. Lamb shanks aren't that fatty). Took 2hrs ish on the wood burning stove.

• Baghdad eggs on simple flatbread

  • JFM on January 29, 2014

    One of the best egg recipes I've had! So fresh and light and tasty! We had it with last night's leftover bubbly and fresh orange juice - not very authentic, but very nice!

• Braised fennel gratin

  • spicebite on August 15, 2012

    Gorgeous dish, and great way to make use of end of season fennel. I cooked the fennel for a bit longer than in the recipe

• Roasted garlic

  • Melanie on March 30, 2014

    The instructions make for perfect roast garlic.

• Loretta's Shrewsbury Easter biscuits

  • Jaybak on June 08, 2013

    Look in index under 'Oranges'

• Very speedy chicken with cherry tomatoes and olives

  • carol_nz0j01 on May 31, 2026

    Amazingly easy and quick to make. Taste was fantastically yum.

• Olive and cheese loaf

  • carol_nz0j01 on June 02, 2026

    Easy and delicious. Looks as good as it tastes. Didn't have ham, used thin strip's of bacon and tasty cheese.

• Raspberry muffins

  • Curly73 on March 19, 2016

    p555 20g butter 220 self raising flour 1/2 cup caster sugar 3/4 cup buttermilk 1 egg 3/4 cup vegetable oil 100g raspberries

• Silverbeet stem gratin

  • lorraine_ovhpjb on June 02, 2026

    Delicious. I mistakingly took it from the fridge to the oven so 15 mins wasn’t long enough

• Warm saute of zucchini, pine nuts and currants

  • anniecc on August 03, 2022

    Really loved this, although cooking the zucchini was a bit time-consuming. I decided to serve it with crumbled feta cheese which was a fantastic edition.
