Mains/Sides

Beef Lasagna

This is the best lasagna recipe I've ever tasted. Even babies gobble it up. It makes 2 lasagnas (1 large 1 small), one to eat and one to freeze for later!

Burrito Bowls

Fresh & tasty vegetarian version of a burrito

Cauliflower Cheese

A tasty side dish.

Chicken Casserole

This and lasagna are head to head as my all-time favorite dishes. The casserole has also turned out to be a fantastic way to get a wide assortment of vegetables into kids without their knowledge. Babies happily eat it!

Chicken Curry

Friends travel from all over for the promise of my Abba's chicken curry.

Chilli Con Carne

A staple that hits the spot on cold winter days.

Hamburgers

Originally a meatball recipe, Toro adapted this one to make the tastiest homemade hamburgers I've ever had!

Honey-Soy Marinated Salmon

Even people who don't like fish at all will still eat this meal, that's how outstanding it is.

Honeyed Sweet Potatoes

Seriously divine. I think I had triple helpings the first time I tasted them!

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

I had these pancakes for breakfast at the Hotel Ivy in Minneapolis, MN. They are by far the best pancakes I've ever tasted. The chef very generously coughed up the recipe for me. I've made them for the family and the kids had double what they normally eat. They're easily and absolutely worth the extra prep time.

Omelette – Indian Style

A savory dinner omelette that I've grown up on but have never found on an Asian menu! Make the whole lot; it's addictive and will go quickly.

Pulled Beef with BBQ Sauce

Delicious, hearty and only about 5 minutes of prep. Brilliant!

Shepherd’s Pie

Very traditional and very yummy.

Silverbeet & Cottage Cheese Quiche

A sweet version of a quiche.

Vegetarian Lasagna

The pesto and cream cheese layers on top give this lasagna a distinctive flavour. I like it almost as much as the beef lasagna which is a huge concession to my carnivorous tendencies!

Vegetarian Quiche

A traditional quiche. A tasty way to use up the 'almost off' vegetables in your fridge.

Zucchini Fritters

Great vegetarian option.
