Family Favourite Recipes


Roast Lamb Dinner

The beloved ‘baked dinner’ is as popular today as it has been for generations.The only difference is that we cook the lamb a little less than our grandmothers did, so that it remains juicy and pink.

Stir-Fried Beef With Vegetables

A stir-fry is a tasty way to combine meat and vegetables in the one dish. The trick with stir-fries is to have everything ready to go before you start cooking as once you fire up the wok there can be no stopping.

Spaghetti alla Bolognese

This is a lower-fat version of a pasta classic, a full-flavoured meat sauce tossed with strands of spaghetti and served with Parmesan cheese.


Vegetable and Three-cheese Lasagna

Loaded with fresh vegetables and three types of cheese, this is a great alternative for vegetarian lasagna!

Italian Recipes

Enjoy tasty Italian recipes including Focaccia, Tomato Bruschetta, Chicken Parmigiana, Linguine, Carbonara and more

Seafood and Fish Recipes

Delicious recipes for prawn, snapper, salmon, mussels and many more seafood and fish favourites

Macaroni and Cheese

This classic dish will please everyone in the family with it’s tasty cheese combination.

Chicken Recipes

Lemon Chicken

Buy good organic, free range chicken for extra flavour and goodness. This won’t be garishly yellow like the lemon sauce in your local Chinese restaurant because it doesn’t have artificial colours in it, just genuine ones.

Risotto with chicken & mushrooms

Although higher in fat than white breast meat, the darker-fleshed chicken pieces are a more concentrated source of minerals, including zinc and some iron.

Chicken parmigiana with vegetable sauce

Chicken breasts are oven-baked with a low-fat, chunky vegetable sauce and a Parmesan topping in this easy Italian-style dish. Serve with warm ciabatta or baguette to mop up the delicious sauce.

Dessert Recipes

Pavlova Recipe

Claimed by both Australia and New Zealand, this classic dessert is a must for any occasion. Once you have prepared the meringue mixture, bake it immediately, otherwise it will collapse and begin to weep.


Chocolate panna cotta with warm berries and honey

Spoon warm blackberries and honey over the panna cottas and serve, with a bowl of rich yellow cream on the side.
