  Fruit, Seed & Walnut Bread

  Posted at 12:03 pm by tastewithoutwaste

  Feb 4th

  Going out for breakfast to celebrate special occasions/the completion of something significant is a tradition in my family. Fortunately it didn’t take much to cajole two of my housemates into doing so after I had finished working at the Australian Open. We ventured to a brilliant joint on the other side of Melbourne and were duly rewarded with the three meals we ordered. However (there’s always a however isn’t there?) I was also able to smugly proclaim that whilst their fig, apricot and pistachio loaf was very tasty indeed, it did not quite live up to that made by yours truly. Boastful? Moi? Let’s just say that this Fruit, Seed & Walnut Bread is one of the best things you’ll ever put down your gullet. Modest, I know. Continue reading →

  Crumble Topped Nectarine for Two (or One!)

  Posted at 6:08 pm by tastewithoutwaste

  Dec 3rd

  A ripe, juicy nectarine and dollop of natural yoghurt is perfectly adequate dessert material. Sweet, rich and creamy it ticks the ‘treat’ box just fine. However, there are times when you fancy a smidge more indulgence, and without major effort involved. Those are the times when you’re sorely tempted to reach for that box of chocolates, the one you stashed somewhere obscure in the hope that you might forget their location…but hold up a sec! Don’t go hunting for the chocolates just yet. Why, there’s another option on the cards. Let’s take a second look at that nectarine of yours. Sitting so innocently in the fruit bowl.  In under twenty minutes you can transform this baby into a ‘luxurious’ dessert that’s a hell-of-a lot healthier, and satisfying, than a box of chocolates (because let’s be honest we never stop at just one).

  Apple Fritters

  Posted at 5:30 pm by tastewithoutwaste

  Apr 17th

  Breakfasts after a night out. Critical question – are you part of the oily/carby/shove-anything-remotely-unhealthy-down-your-gullet crew? Or do you fit in the slightly more uncommon category and, like me, shy away from any thought or smell of grease? Either way, these Apple Fritters will lure you out of bed…crisp rings of apple, encased in a sweet batter and topped with copious amounts of cinnamon sugar. Pair with a strong coffee and your day’s off to a fine start. More or less. Let’s not kid ourselves too much. The batter can be prepared ahead of time (up to twelve hours ahead) so if you’re super organised you can simply roll out of bed – quite literally if need be – dunk the apple rings in the batter and get frying. Alternatively, if you’re in no rush to head to uni/work/other such mundane obligations, the batter can be prepared on awakening and you’ve got yourself half an hour to potter about, take a dip and attempt to re-establish some sense of decorum. You really can’t go wrong with fritters. Continue reading →

  Squirrel’s Quiche

  Posted at 7:07 pm by tastewithoutwaste

  Jan 10th

  This quiche is a family staple, ‘borrowed’ from Squirrel’s Restaurant in the 1980’s. Hence the odd name. There’s certainly no squirrels in it. As of this year it’s a new improved family staple. You see, sometimes tradition requires alteration. Some tweaking here and there. To produce a real winner of a dish. That’s not to say the essence of the quiche has been modified, oh no. That’s been carefully preserved (I would have faced the wrath of certain family members had it not). With the application of a few key culinary techniques (blind baking, anyone?) this quiche has been transformed from decent nosh to a top notch feed. A smooth, light custard is dotted with florets of nutrient packed broccoli, sweet leeks and butternut squash and topped with golden cheddar. The whole thing is encased in a crisp, crumbly whole-wheat crust. A pastry to knock your socks off. The crowning jewel of the Squirrel’s Quiche 2.0 revamp. Continue reading →

  Apple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Cream Cheese Glaze

  Posted at 9:13 pm by tastewithoutwaste

  Jan 3rd

  First recipe post for 2013 2014! We’ll get there with the date change. It usually clicks in around March. Anywho, how are those goals (we’re not calling them resolutions, remember) going? Wavering on any yet? I surely hope not. Just when you thought you were done with all that New Year philosophical rah-rah, here’s a few more lifestyle changes to consider. With the help of these Apple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls of course. If you’ve already got the following ‘ideals’ down pat, good for you. We’ll let you keep that smug grin. For the moment, anyway. Give it a few hours and it’ll be replaced with one of blissed out happiness. Light and fluffy with a sweet, nutty filling. Drizzled with an oozy, sticky maple topping. Don’t say I didn’t warn you about the side effects. What exactly are you going to learn from these Apple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls, apart from that they’re addictive with a capital A?  Let’s get started on those tasty life lessons. Continue reading →
