Slow Cooker. Cheese and Two Potato Soup

by Dani

The Kitchen Playground method of surviving the school term with a working mother is to use school holidays to do some bulk cooking. The idea is that I will end up wit lots of baked goods for lunches and enough precooked meals to get me through the nights that we get home late. These school […]

Chicken, Yoghurt & Burghul Soup with Lemon, Chilli & Coriander

by Dani

School holidays are upon us and I am taking great delight in being home long enough to play in the kitchen. There simply isn’t enough time for that during term anymore. Part of the fun is my annual cookbook and recipe cull. As I am hoping that a move will be on the cards within […]

Chez KP goes Vietnamese

by Dani

Ahh Vietnamese food. It never fails to delight. Never. Every dish was hungrily gobbled and loudly praised this evening. The soup was magical. My love for pho is not unknown but I simply did not have the time to make the stock. I’ve found my quick substitute soup. The beef and Vietnamese coriander soup is […]

Buddhist Monk’s Soup (Canh Kiem)

by Dani

Take 1 Buddhist Monk, slice thinly, simmer gently until tender… OK, sorry, in our family that is known as Graeme humour. You can blame my dear old Dad. This is a soup I’ve been meaning to try for many years. Finally, it’s time has come and it smells delicious. Just need the Ankle Biters and […]

Satisfaction Soup, from one depression era to another.

by Dani

This soup is a ‘Nana from the depression era’ soup. Incredibly simple and cheap to make with more flavour than the ingredients would suggest. It’s a good one for fussy kids too. Unless you’ve got one of those spoiled, expensive menfolk who insist on a slab of meat at each meal, this makes a hearty […]

Silverbeet and Lime Soup

by Dani

It’s school holidays here at the moment. Glorious school holidays. Today, the Ankle Biters had some friends over and I got to enjoy the adult company of their respective mothers. One of the mums has coeliac disease so I took the easy way and made soup for the grown up lunch. The tricky part was […]

Soup to chase the head cold away.

by Dani

So much for swine flu, there’s a head cold doing the rounds of Melbourne which is intensely irritating. It’s swept though chez KP leaving a trail of snot and grumpiness behind it. I decided to chase it away tonight with a very vegetable soup. I made it in the thermomix but it could easily be […]

Nutty African Style Slow Cooker Soup

by Dani

Just a quick one from me tonight. Tired. Busy. It’s been a crazy weekend here. Saturday was an early am dash to the farmers market followed by a full day at school. Today I worked a double shift with a quick break in the middle to pedal to the library to return books, the supermarket, […]

Market fresh goodness…fritters, soup and crumble.

by Dani

Market day makes me want to stuff as much of that freshly picked vegetable goodness into my gob as humanly possible in one day. As each day of the week passes by, they are that little bit less fresh, that little bit less nutritious. Always good until the end though. This morning, I got caught […]
