Feta Wild Rocket Tart & Strawberry Short Cake with White Liquorice Ice Cream for Dessert | Raw

Another combo meal. And no, this is not part of my childhood...simply part of my typical eating habits!

I think I'm enjoying giving out two recipes per post...it just makes sense to have a light lunch followed by a decadent dessert and then a nap on this wonderful summer day!

Again, have a look at the tart recipe, just the base, and you'll recognise it...the only difference is that I added more flax meal, by one tbsp. Generally speaking, you can use this base recipe again and again for all of your savoury tart recipes... I want you to know this recipe like the back of your hand!

Also, the short bread recipe is very similar to the Carlton Tart pastry recipe. I want you guys to really grasp the fundamentals of these dishes, since many of my upcoming recipes have links to past ones. Soon it will start to make sense in a greater context and you'll be able to see how it all works together in the kitchen!

Asparagus Salad | Botanical

Oh yes, this dish is one of my very favourite recipes! Asparagus, yoghurt, orange zest and all that other summery produce... what more could one ask for?

Don't forget to order your produce in advance, prepare your fermented tree-based cheeses, yoghurts, milks and all the rest of your staples so that they're in the fridge as you need them. As you'll have noticed, I 'm repeating some recipes in order to give you some ideas about what can be done using your pantry staples. I want to show you guys how you can potentially change your patterns. So stay with me, cook with me and - most importantly - give me some feedback so that I know I'm on the right track...after all, we're here for you!

Semi–Dried Tomato with Truffle Tapenade | Botanical

OK I think you guys got my point about living in Carlton North, the infamous Little Italy of Melbourne... but this is really one of the last dehydrated recipes that you are going to see for some time, as now we're approaching spring!

Garden Pizza | Raw

Carlton North - not sure how many of my readers are from Melbourne, but I've recently moved into Carlton North, known as the Little Italy of Melbourne. Such a gorgeous, quiet area... full of family-minded people and some great resturants when you get out of the touristy area!

This is why I thought a good, thin crust pizza would be great for the end of winter... something to warm the heart, yet which is colourful to the eyes. Garden Pizza is my little treat to you my wonderful readers, so put your back into it! Even though it looks simple and sexy it does require a little bit of time to prepare it...just like any good pizza would, right? ;-)

The credit should really go to Loving Earth's dehydrated black olives as they are the ones that have made this recipe sooo delish!

Mushroom Bouillon with Truffle | Botanical

A typical Melbourne winter, cold and rainy… this is why I have chosen this particular recipe. With strong earthy flavours, cozy textures - presented in an edible art form, it gives winter a new look.

It takes a bit of planning to make this dish, just like it would take some planning to make a really nice stew… sourcing the produce, making the stock, standing by the stove and stirring the pot with love and anticipation… same here – except your dehydrator is your new stove.

Going to the market is for sure one of my hobies... especially here in Melbourne where you don't need a car because we have gorgouss old school tram where it is easly accesible to head to the market with... Prahran market - like any market, farmers and winders are proud to use only local seasonal produce... and this is where I got my mushrooms and truffles from in making this recipe.

I have also used Loving Earth’s pyramid sea salt as a final touch to the dish. This salt has a brilliant texture and a beautiful look as well as a strong flavor.
