Sri Lankan cashew curry
Three weeks on, I’m still on a curry bender after returning home from Sri Lanka. I can’t get enough of it and miss my daily dose. I find it funny that in the western world curry is mostly associated with and eaten throughout the cooler months, given all the countries where curry and rice are […]
Roasted red onion, black lentil + dried blueberry salad
Have you ever had one of those nights where you feel like you didn’t sleep a wink, even though you must have? I’ve just woken from one where my dreams were so vivid, conversations so clear, it felt like I was awake the whole night. If it wasn’t for the fact that I have no […]

Roasted quince + cardamom popsicles
A couple of years ago while visiting a truffle farm in Christchurch, we came across a laden quince tree where Angela asked Alesha and I how we liked to prepare quinces.
