Welcome



These are tried, tested and much loved recipes. Our families and friends are always unselfish and devote themselves to taste-testing these delicious creations and demand them repeatedly time and time again.

Our aim is to share with you our favourite meals and the little tricks and tips we have learnt along the way.
Time is precious.
Food is expensive.

Both are resources too valuable to waste.

We want to share recipes that deliver delicious, nourishing meals - making the most of your time and ingredients.

Life is way too short for bland, disappointing food.
So ... Feed your inner cook - and Enjoy!

Hummus Dip

Why pay up to $7 for shop or deli bought Hummus when in a matter of 5 minutes or less you can make your own?

Another gorgeous ceramic bowl and plate from Kim.A.Aitken Ceramics (available online at www.Estherandcameron.com)


Ingredients

1 x 600g can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
3 garlic cloves crushed
100ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 x Tablespoons tahini paste (this lasts for months in the fridge so worth the purchase)
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup of water (or enough to give a smooth consistency)

Method

Place all ingredients (except water) into a bowl and using a stick blender or food processor combine.  Then add sufficient water and process to a smooth consistency.

Place in a serving dish and sprinkle sweet paprika or ground cumin on top.

Serve with toasted Turkish bread or crackers.

Great nutritious addition to school lunch boxes.
