A different kind of salad. I love some of the salads from my childhood. Mum would, of course, make the regular green leaf salad. She did, however, have a few other salads that were less common among her group friends. More often than not, it was these salads she found perfect to pull out when entertaining….

I am a mummy with two young kids, and a passion for cooking, good food, fresh produce plus bargain food buys. I hunt out the best seasonal produce at cheap prices to cook up the very best for my family. This blog will hopefully provide you with fresh food inspiration, recipes and other helpful food tips that don't cost the earth. All photos and recipes are my own unless otherwise stated.
Coconut Crisps
Coconut crisps are quick and easy to make. They are gluten-free plus are relatively low in sugar compared to other biscuit recipes out there. Perfect as a treat in school lunchboxes or after school with a glass of milk.
Pizza Dough
Whether you use a breadmaker or knead the dough by hand, this pizza dough is delicious as either pan or thin/crispy. Just add your own combination of toppings for a winner dinner!
Plum Cake
My dad’s favourite cake and when you make it you’ll see why. It’s not intoxicatingly sweet and has a wonderful flavour from the yeast and lemon zest in the cake dough. This is a german cake by origin and is more like a slice than your typical traditional cakes. When you make it, I guarantee it won’t last long!
Chocolate Steamed Pudding
This dessert isn’t overly sweet. The cocoa in this chocolate steamed pudding cuts through a lot of the sweetness and adds a deep dark colour. Add that it was also moist and just tasted damn delicious, it was the perfect way to end a fabulous meal.
Bolar Roast in the Bag
A roast is a great way to bring the family together. This recipe uses a traditionally tough cut of meat and turns it into a tender and moist dinner for all to enjoy. The mustard adds a wonderful flavour without the harsh mustard flavour so don’t be scared to make this.
Banana Bread
This recipes proves that making banana bread isn’t hard or time consuming. No creaming butter or sifting flour… simply mix all ingredients together.
Sunkofleky
I haven’t yet met a person who hasn’t enjoyed this family friendly meal (exception are vegetarians of course!). It’s simple to put together with only a few key ingredients. You can have sunkofleky put together in no time to serve for your next family meal.
