The Perfect Quiche Lorraine

Who doesn't love a light, fluffy slice of quiche? All that bacon, egg and cheesy goodness over a crunchy pastry. Perfect for an afternoon snack.

Thin and crispy, a rich tomato sauce and lots of garlic. Those are my three golden rules for a drool worthy pizza. Tonight I kept the ingredients simple and made one margherita and one silverbeet and cheese pizza.

Warm and Peppery Shepherd's Pie

This pie warms you up with a deep peppery heat perfect for cold nights. It also satisfies with the wholesomeness of tender chunky beef. Served in ramekins, they're easy to eat and store.
