Salsa Verde Fresh and Zingy

A good salsa verde elevates a good meal to next-level greatness. If you are like me and buy fresh herbs, use half the bunch then watch the other half go to waste then this method will save you time and dollars. This recipe will ensure you use all of your herbs, none goes to waste…

Whole Egg Mayonnaise

Making your own mayonnaise is surprisingly easy, incredibly yummy and free from additives. There are so many nasties in condiments these days—right? A batch of fresh, homemade mayonnaise will last up to a week in the fridge. Bring it out when guests are over for lunch and it’s next level impressive. Enjoy.

Caramelised Onion

Caramelised onion is a favourite for cheese platters, salads, toasties and a myriad of other things. Homemade Christmas gifts are always a nice surprise, caramelised onion works well given in a cute little jar.

Fresh basil pesto is delicious and it has such a variety of uses. I love to raid my mum’s garden when it is in season and make up a huge batch to freeze in small portions to use in the coming months. Check out the end of the post for my favourite uses for basil pesto.

Satay Sauce

Maybe it’s because we have done most of our Asia travel at this time of year, or perhaps it’s because satay is so yummy, but when Summer rolls around I crave satay. Satay sauce on grilled meats and fresh salads, on burgers, small portions kept on standby in the freezer ready to add a little pizazz…

Guacamole

Everyone needs a good basic guacamole recipe. Once you make it you will never eat a store bought one again.

Fragrant Beetroot Relish
