    Hearty Beef Stew with Polenta & Mash Topping

    This hearty beef stew is the perfect combination of rustic comfort food and refined savoury flavours. Leaning heavily on pantry staples for the seasoning and topping, the heart of this meal is in it’s slowly simmered filling paired with fluffy dumplings that soak up all the delicious sauce. This meal is great to prep in advance and can be completed up to the topping stage to be finished later. Once the stew has cooled, you can spoon on the cooled topping, seal well and freeze up to 3mths or refrigerate if you’re going to finish the cooking in the next two days. It’s a great family gathering dish and pairs…

    Creamy Mushroom & Beef Stroganoff

    A few years back I stumbled upon this traditional russian variation by Julia Frey of Vikalinka. It’s simple, creamy and yet still light. Boosted with the rich flavours of mustard and marsala – it’s absolutely delicious. I’ve adjusted the recipe to make it a little more macro friendly. I’ve also included the serving of rice in our nutritional information panel. While it doesn’t have anywhere near as much sauce as the original, it’s rich and juicy with bold intense flavours and still plenty of creaminess.

    Yakisoba Noodles

    This recipe is my makeshift Australian version of the classic Japanese fried noodles. You can buy pre-made yakisoba sauce from Asian grocery stores in Australia, however this recipe tries to use ingredients you would likely already have in your pantry. Recipe Notes Key Ingredients
