Feta Hands

Here's a recipe that can be whipped together quickly in a pinch, or left to simmer for hours for that rich flavour and tender texture. Smoky eggplant and finely diced olives give an enticing depth of flavour to a seemingly simple tomato sauce, served over soft, light gnocchi. More

Among the many reasons I love zucchini is how easy it is to slice it thin, stick it in the microwave for a moment, add some lemon juice and stick it on toast with feta. Lentils are an earthy addition that take your toast from simple snack to makeshift meal. More

This meal is as quick as it gets, and uses just a small number of fresh raw ingredients. The classic combination of tomato and basil works beautifully with the classic salad ingredients of cucumber and red onion, while lentils add a bit of texture and tie it all together. More

Rather than the bold, intense flavours I usually like to play with, the subtlety of mozzarella and zucchini keeps things a bit more muted in this recipe and really brings the broccolini, basil and pine nut flavours to the fore. But for those who like a bit of extra kick, parmesan and feta are welcome additions. More

The basis of this recipe is simple: pasta, kale, onion, garlic, chilli, beans, lemon juice, and parmesan. And it's super moreish even when you leave it at that. But the mushrooms, sundried tomatoes and feta entail minimal extra effort and kick the flavour up a notch. More

This may just be the most versatile vegetarian pasta meal there is.

Make it once and you're bound to end up having it on high rotation! More

Quinoa provides the protein while a combination of greens ramp up the vitamin and mineral content of this tasty frittata, while avocado and cherry tomato salsa takes it to the next level. More

There's no substitute for homemade pesto, but store-bought does the job in this simple combination of pasta and roast vegetables. Sweet fresh cherry tomatoes and creamy, salty feta give a punch to every mouthful. More

When you're fresh out of ideas for dinner, chuck some roast vegetables in the oven and then decide what to do with them! They combine perfectly with sundried tomatoes, feta and herbs in this delicious sandwich (or wrap). More

I desperately wanted avo and feta with eggs, but with no avo to speak of, I was forced to get creative. That's how this recipe was born: The guiltiest, most animal-derived-product-overloaded toast I've ever made. More
