  Quick Chickpea & Mushroom Curry

  Now folks, here’s my top tip going into 2016. Don’t go buy yourself a new laptop. No matter how old your current one is, cling on to it for dear life. Give it CPR if you must. Why? Because it will prove to be two of the most painful days of your recent existence. More painful than the half marathon. And far less rewarding. Well, if you’re moi anyway. Perhaps you’ve got a little leprechaun dancing around showering you with luck. Perhaps banks and Macbook Pros actually like you. And don’t find pleasure in trying to a) humiliate, b) inconvenience/time waste or c) completely and utterly zap any sort of hope from you. Right at this moment it’s 10.18pm (yay for typing out posts that you actually handwrote!) and I’m curled up in bed feeling like, well, poo. Sorry, there’s no other way to put it. Continue reading →

  Mushroom Sang Choy Bow

  How’s your Monday going? Did you groggily rise from bed, inhale a mug of coffee and waddle out the house bouncing off the door frame? Or did you spring from sleep, fully refreshed and ready to face the week ahead? The first step to getting back into blogging regularly is to scrounge through previously saved drafts that somehow haven’t quite made it to the little blue ‘publish’ button stage. Here’s one of them. Particularly relevant due to the discussion around Monday. Hah. We’re getting a little bit clever in our cop-out (from up to date) posts. Cheerio. Continue reading →

  Tofu Vegetable Bowl

  Would you believe it’s been a gloriously sunny today? That’s right, actual sunshine. Not warm, but sun all the same. Blue skies. A light breeze (though, wearing a flippy skirt was not a wise move)…all that jazz. Considering it’s first day back at university, it’s nice to have some brightness in the world. Lectures…what were those again? In all honesty it’s good to slide back into days that have some form of structure. Days, that no longer meld effortlessly into the next, into one big blob of ‘what did I even do/accomplish in that time?’. Deadlines aren’t all that bad. Truly. To celebrate the impromptu burst of spring weather – there are even, shockingly, yellow daffodils blooming in the grounds – we’ve got a light refreshing meal on the cards. ‘Vegetable and Tofu Bowl’ may sound less than appetising, but trust me on this one. Go on, I dare you. Continue reading →

  Chakchouka/Baked Eggs

   As I regularly have to remind my Northern Hemispherean friends, we in the South live a topsy-turvy life. Whilst many people are moving into the months of sunshine, and ice-cream, and refreshing cocktails, we in the South are flicking on that ‘hibernation mode’ switch. I’m currently spending two weeks of my winter break back in Western Australia. It’s rained. And rained. And rained. And then rained some more. It’s cold – enough so that we’re reaching for scarves and beanies and layer after layer of sweaters. Yeah, it’s nothing like a ‘proper’ winter with snow and howling winds (though we do get those from time to time) and below 0C temperatures, but for us it’s still damn wintery. Continue reading →

  Mushroom Soup

  Posted at 5:15 pm by tastewithoutwaste

  Apr 25th

  We’ve had some classic Autumn weather this week. Slap-in-your-face cold mornings that slowly give way to brisk yet bright days. The sunlight dapples through the trees, highlighting the changes in leaf colour – from green to yellow to almost red (it’s still a little early yet for the ‘proper’ Autumn shades). This area of Melbourne is blessed with many large, ancient (well I like to think they are) deciduous trees. No, they aren’t native, yet you can’t help but think that if they’re already there why shouldn’t we admire their splendour? Such days call for a bowl of piping hot soup, so warm that it fogs up your glasses (if you so happen to wear them) when you raise the spoon to your lips. Prior to a trip to Edinburgh (in August 2012, to be exact) I avoided mushroom soup like the plague. I mean mushrooms are fantastic, no doubt about it, but mushroom soup? No thank you, mister. That’s taking the dedication a little too far. Continue reading →
