Barbecued heirloom tomato bruschetta with feta and basil

I've loved bruschetta since I was a kid. Tomatoes, basil, balsamic, feta... what more could you want. I love how versatile it is, too. You can't beat barbecued tomatoes, but in a pinch you can easily just spread feta on toast, add a few slices of fresh tomato and torn basil leaves, drizzle with vinegar, and there you have it. Big, bold flavour heaven. More

Broccolini and pesto pizza with rocket and pine nuts

Broccolini and pesto pizza with rocket and pine nuts

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

Kale, mushroom and feta pasta with sundried tomatoes

Kale, mushroom and feta pasta with sundried tomatoes

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
