Lemony Chicken & Parmesan Caesar Salad Soup
CHICKEN CAESAR SOUP! Lemony Chicken & Parmesan Caesar Soup with Garlicky Anchovy Croutons. This recipe takes all the best flavours of a classic Caesar salad – parmesan, anchovies, garlic and lemon – and transforms them into a delicious, silky soup with juicy shredded slow-cooked chicken. I made the soup in my Panasonic Cooking Blender, which slowly cooks the ingredients until perfectly tender. You then remove the chicken, before blending the soup into a beautifully smooth, creamy base with parmesan and yoghurt. Fold the shredded chicken back through with some cos lettuce (don’t knock it till you try it haha) and VOILAAAA Caesar salad in soup form!
Glossy & Rich Miso Mushroom & Edamame Rice
Glossy miso mushroom rice, golden seared salmon and a rich miso butter sauce spooned over the top. I've been making the most of my rice cooker lately and this is exactly the sort of meal it does so well. The rice cooks with dashi stock, miso, mushrooms and spring onions all together, so by the time it's finished you've got a flavour-packed base ready to gooo! Add some caramelised salmon and a quick pan sauce and dinner is sorted.Savoury, buttery, packed with umami and studded with edamame for a bit of texture and sweetness.

Thai-Style Sesame Crusted Prawn Toast Crumpets
Golden, crispy, sesame-crusted prawn toast, but make it crumpets @goldencrumpetsnz !!! The soft and fluffy crumpets soak up all that prawn-y goodness, while the outside goes extra crunchy in the air fryer. Served with a salty-sweet nam jim sauce for dipping and a punchy lime leaf mayo drizzled over the top. Honestly SO GOOD! The texture of the crumpets is such a great match for prawn toasts!
Caramelised Smashed Ratatouille with Butter Roast Chicken
This recipe is a great way to use up a few late-summer vegetables - the smashed ratatouille was so ridiculously good that it quickly became the star of the whole meal. Roasting the vegetables hard and fast gives them plenty of colour and caramelisation before they're mashed into a chunky, spoonable spread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Alongside it, there's butter-roasted chicken with crispy golden skin and plenty of pan juices, plus creamy haricot beans cooked with shallots, anchovies, white wine and a little crème fraîche. The anchovies melt away completely, leaving behind a rich savoury flavour.
