Tuna and Spinach Patties

I visited my friend, Deb, a while back and, as I was leaving, she handed me several recipes.  “You might like to try these”, she said.  Deb likes to read recipes - she is not quite so keen on cooking them:)

One of the recipes caught my eye because it required spinach.  We are overwhelmed with silverbeet, at the moment, and I thought we could replace the spinach with silverbeet. Continue reading

Sorby Adams – Yellow Curry Prawns with Lime.

Whilst we were in the Barossa, I read the Summer 2011/12 edition of Barossa Living.  In this magazine, there was a section highlighting the local restaurants and featuring a couple of their specialty recipes.  We decided to go to each of the restaurants and check out their specialty dish.  We had a ball and some very lovely food. 

One of the restaurants was Sorby Adams Wine Room & Pantry and the special recipe was Yellow Curry Prawns with Lime.  I knew as soon as I read the recipe that I was going to like the dish.  You would have guessed by now, I love coriander and citrus things and a bit of chilli to boot.  The dish was very enjoyable and simple to make.

Prawn, Mango and Avocado Salad

It is still warm in Perth.

The other night,  we were trying to work out what to have for dinner.  We wanted something light and simple.  I went to Eat Your Books.  I love that website.  It tells me that I have 15, 845 recipes on my bookshelf (and they are just the ones they have indexed).  I shudder to think how many I actually do have – more like 30,000 I would think… that should keep me busy.

I typed in ‘lettuce’ and ‘coriander’.    I love coriander and thought a salad incorporating coriander would be nice and refreshing.  Up popped (along with many others) this lovely fresh salad.  It has the never-fail combination of prawns, mango and avocado.   I was off to the shop in no time.
