  • This is an old school classic eastern European salad that tastes sensational. Not much to look at, you’ll be surprised by the fabulous reaction you’ll get to this Russian salad. Go on – try it! It won’t disappoint. Recipe below. .

RUSSIAN SALAD
Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 30 mins
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
400g / 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 3cm/1″ dice
4 carrots, peeled and cut into 3cm/1″ dice
4 eggs
1 cup of frozen peas, defrosted
100g of gherkins, sliced or diced
2 tbsp of natural/plain yoghurt
2 tbsp of mayonnaise
4 sprigs of flat leaf parsley, washed and picked
½ cup of frozen edamame beans (soybeans), peeled and defrosted
salt
white pepper

Method:
Place the potatoes and carrots in saucepans, bring to the boil and cook until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
Bring another saucepan to the boil, and place the eggs gently in and cook for 8 minutes. Drain and refresh under old water and peel while still warm. Chop or slice the eggs.
Combine the yoghurt and mayonnaise and set aside.
Once the potatoes and carrots have cooled completely, combine them in a bowl with the eggs, peas, gherkins, parsley and edamame. Stir through the mayonnaise mixture, adjust seasoning and serve.

TIP:
This salad is a meal in itself. Just add some leafy greens to go with it.
  • Not all muffins need to be sweet. If you are looking for a great lunchbox filler that also ticks the vegetable box, how about trying these out? A perfect alternative to always offering sweet treats for after school snacks. Another great savoury muffin combination is potato, rosemary, caramelised onions and feta. Recipe below.

SAVOURY MUFFINS
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 1 hour
Makes: 18 muffins
Ingredients
1 sweet potato, diced (or any leftover roast vegetables:, including zucchini, pumpkin, carrots etc.)
½ onion or 1 eschalot, finely diced
olive oil spray
2 cups of self-raising flour
2 pinches of salt (iodised)
2 eggs
1 cup of milk
30ml of olive oil
100g feta, crumbled
½ cup of baby spinach
Method
Preheat the oven to 180˚C fan forced.
Line an oven tray with baking paper. Mix together the vegetables and the onion or eschalot and pile on the baking tray. Spray vegetables with olive oil.
Bake vegetables for 35–40 minutes.
Line muffin trays with paper cases (patty pans).
In the meantime, place the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and then add the eggs, milk and oil and fold through lightly.
Add the roasted vegetables, feta and baby spinach to the flour mix and combine gently.
Spoon mixture into the paper cases.
Cook for 15–20 minutes until springy to touch.
Leave to cool before serving or freezing.
  • This week, since it's back to school for most of us, we'll focus on lunchbox snacks - starting with apple slice. It freezes well if the family doesn’t polish it off on the same day. You can use any apples you happen to have. Recipe below.
.
.
.
.
APPLE SLICE
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 45 mins
Makes: about 25–30 squares

Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 cup of caster sugar
90g of unsalted butter, melted
4 apples (use whichever variety you have in the fruit bowl)
1 tsp of vanilla essence
1 tbsp of caster sugar (additional)
1½ cups of self raising flour
icing sugar mixture for dusting

Method:
Preheat the oven to 180ºC (160ºC fan forced).
Grease or line an 18 x 28 cm baking tin or equivalent.
Mix the eggs, sugar and melted butter together in a bowl.
Grate the apples (leaving the skin on) and add vanilla and extra caster sugar to the apples and set aside.
Add the flour into the egg mix and stir with a fork to make a runny batter.
Pour two thirds of the batter into the baking tin to cover the base.
Spread apple mix evenly over the batter in the baking tin, then top with remaining batter. Don’t worry if it doesn’t entirely cover the apple mixture, it spreads when cooking.
Place tray in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool then sprinkle with icing sugar mixture.
Cut into smaller squares and freeze any leftovers for lunchboxes.

TIP:
If using Granny Smith apples or particularly juicy apples, you may want to squeeze the grated apple mix before spreading over the batter. There will appear to be too much grated apple, but use it all as it cooks down. Remember you don’t need much batter of the top as it does spread.
  • The perfect treat for a scorching summer's day. Recipe and 📸 courtesy of Good Food.  #icypoles #passionfuit #coconut #goodfoodau #summer.

2 x 170g cans passionfruit pulp in syrup
350ml coconut water
.
.
1. Combine the entire contents of the cans of passionfruit pulp with the coconut water and mix well. Strain through a sieve to remove the seeds (but push through any pulp).
2. Divide the mixture between the compartments of icy pole moulds, but do not fill completely to the top. Add a few passionfruit seeds to each compartment, then add wooden sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours.
  • Tuna and corn patties are a perfect lunch alternative to sandwiches and also great for an afternoon snack. For younger kids they are a meal in themselves. Recipe below. .
