Feta Hands

Here's my fave slow cooker meal, which packs in tonnes of vegetables and has a gorgeous rich flavour, but from a kid's perspective is still pretty much just pasta with tomato sauce. More

Sweet potato and eggplant are cooked to soft, gooey perfection and shine against a backdrop of familiar sweet and savoury flavours in this simple tagine. Tagines are traditionally slow cooked in the earthenware pot for which they are named, so they couldn't be better suited to a slow cooker. More

Creamy feta and avocado combine beautifully with lightly spiced cauliflower in this irresistible wrap. Pomegranate seeds provide bursts of sweet and sour flavour with every bite, while chickpeas add a subtle nutty flavour and plenty of protein to make this a wholesome, nutritious meal that's so delicious you'll want to make it again and again. More

This recipe is based on the baked potatoes my mum used to make for us. Soy-marinated crumbled tofu makes the perfect salty substitute for bacon bits, atop a layer of melted cheese that complements the pillowy potato perfectly. Finally, the strong, bold flavours of spring onions, jalapenos, and coriander give it a satisfying kick that's tempered by a dollop of natural yoghurt. More

In this easy Indian-inspired meal the tandoori-marinated tofu steals the show, complemented perfectly by cumin and turmeric rice. The addition of currants, cashews, coriander, and mint gives a burst of freshness and texture. More

I love the robust, earthy combination of ground cumin and smoked paprika with root vegetables, and in this hearty salad these spices shine through beautifully, tempered by the sweet tang of orange zest.

Today I want to tell you the story of my enchanting New Year's Eve, spent with good friends in a little hut nestled deep in the forest of Mount Aspiring National Park on the west coast of New Zealand. More

I've always loved the combination of lemon and sesame with greens. I often find Asian flavours difficult to replicate at home, but you can't go wrong with the powerful yet delicate flavour of sesame oil, and the rice noodles absorb the flavours beautifully in this dish. Brown sugar, soy sauce, turmeric, and chilli powder complete the flavour profile with just the right amount of sweetness, saltiness, bitterness, and spice. More

Asparagus has such a unique, fresh taste, and it takes centre stage here, perfectly complemented by a bed of creamy white bean and feta dip. The finely diced, pan-fried red onion offers a burst of sweetness that completes the picture. More

I love the bursting flavours of bruschetta, and they work just as well in pizza format! Flavoursome kumato tomatoes steal the show, supported by generous portions of lightly roasted red onion, red capsicum, fresh basil, and feta cheese. The sweet, tart bursts of balsamic and the crunch of fresh baby rocket complement the soft, juicy vegetables for a seriously special pizza experience! More

Anyone who knows me will tell you I am an absolute toast fiend. So when I tell you this toast is my favourite of all time, you know it means something! The classic combination of avocado and feta is already amazing on its own, but add in the tang of sumac and the acidity of lime juice and you have something pretty special. More

Pumpkin and red onion are a match made in heaven. Add in white beans, feta, rocket, and balsamic and you've got a classic savoury combination that just never gets old. The greatest thing about this meal is the lack of knifework. Baking whole pumpkin slices with the skin on and halving the onions rather than dicing them makes this meal about as hassle-free as it gets. More

My first creation since coming home is packed with the best, boldest flavours – spicy jalapenos, tangy lemon and sumac, salty feta, and fresh spring onions, among even more good stuff. It might look light enough, but the combination of falafel and lentils give this meal some serious filling power. Packed into a wrap or eaten straight from the fork, this meal really hits the spot. Ditch the feta and use hommus instead of yoghurt for an (almost) equally delicious vegan option. More

I first made this recipe for a bunch of friends on a little island called Ilhabela in Brazil. It combines fresh and long-life ingredients that you tend to be able to find just about anywhere. I used the small but punchy array of spices that I've been carrying with me everywhere while travelling to give it a bit of a kick, but as with most things Mexican inspired, it's the lime and coriander that really makes it! More

Here on a small island off the coast of Brazil with no real supermarkets, it seemed possibly a little ambitious to make a meal for ourselves. But the ingredients of this salad are simple enough, and substitutable enough, to make it possible. And it doesn't even require cooking! More

While travelling in the RV in a foreign country, you've got to keep the cooking simple! This easy stir fry uses a sauce straight out of the jar to save on excess ingredients. This one was really flavourful, which saved us having to marinate the tofu. The broccoli, capsicum and bok choy work beautifully, but you can substitute whatever's available. More

The sweet and sour notes of Chinese oriental plum sauce are lifted by the sweetness of pineapple and red capsicum and a hint of lemon juice in this quick, easy stir fry. More

The apple and the pumpkin in this salad provide two very different kinds of sweetness that are complemented nicely by the sharpness of dijon mustard, the tartness of apple cider vinegar and the saltiness of feta. More

Roast vegies with pasta doesn't sound all that exciting, but when you add Leggo's sundried tomato and garlic stir-through sauce with a bit of feta and baby spinach, it's surprisingly moreish. More

This easy, hearty soup is a perfect winter warmer. I love the za'atar flavours of sumac, thyme, and sesame seeds, and cannelini beans are the perfect blank canvas to serve them with. And really, who doesn't love anything involving Turkish bread? More

This nice easy burger mix requires zero fresh vegies and zero chopping. The sweetness of the tinned beetroot combines nicely with the tangy saltiness of the feta while the lentils provide the protein to make sure it keeps you full. More
