  Butter Bean, Cashew & Coconut Korma

  Sep 22nd

  We haven’t had a curry recipe around these parts for a very long time. In fact, it’s been over a year since this fella (and to top it off the photos are perhaps the very worst I’ve taken. Ever.) How is it possible that I’ve only give you one measly curry recipe during tastewithoutwaste’s lifetime? Despicable. It would appear that curry’s are a rare event in my kitchen. Not true. We like our curry’s yes indeedy. However, you may argue that this does not classify as a curry. It’s not spicy in a set-your-tongue-on-fire manner. It’s at the mildest end of the term mild. But that’s okay. It’s still curry (at least in my book) and curry is always welcome. Especially in the heart of winter. Which in Australia it isn’t any more – we hit twenty degrees (celsius) today people, twenty! But no matter. Continue reading →

  Bobotie

  Posted at 3:14 pm by tastewithoutwaste

  Aug 25th

  This post was scheduled to go up last Monday. Clearly my technological skills are not up to scratch! Anyway, here it is: a week late but here all the same. Bobotie. Looks revolting. Tastes fan-tiddly-astic. “Hold up a sec”, you say. What on earth is Bobotie? I’ll forgive you for asking. Unless you’re South African, or of South African descent it’s highly unlikely that you’ve come across this particular specimen. The traditional version consists of a sweet, spicy beef mince sauce, topped with an eggy layer, dotted with bay leaves. Think Sheperd’s pie on steroids. Or magic mushrooms. The ingredients list is most peculiar – chutney, jam, bread soaked in milk, lemon juice, curry powder….but it works in a most satisfying way. Have a little faith. 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 →

  Carrot, Coconut & Coriander Soup

  Jul 14th

  Apparently it is possible to have too much of a good thing. I’ve had plenty of opportunities to blog over the last fortnight, yet have not felt the inclination to do so. On arriving back at my mother’s home I made a beeline for the kitchen and immediately donned my apron. Unpacking could wait. An immense about of cooking ensued over the following days, with three dishes on the first evening alone. After twelve weeks of virtually being starved of all forms of cooking it was bliss to be back in the kitchen. However, spending nigh on a week relentlessly stirring, chopping, whipping, icing, baking, boiling and photographing takes it’s toll. In an I-don’t-want-to-even-think-about-food kind of way. Now that my friends is a rare occasion. Continue reading →

  Chakchouka/Baked Eggs

  Posted at 11:34 am by tastewithoutwaste

  Jun 23rd

   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 →
