Surprise, surprise: another smoothie! But during summer the strawberry grower at the Barossa market sells huge trays of tempting fruit picked so ripe they are just crying out to be eaten. The only thing to look out for with berries of any kind is that unless you’re buying freshly picked fruit direct from the grower they will have been layered on top of each other in punnets and refrigerated, causing them to sweat when taken in and out of the refrigerator. If you are buying them in advance, turn them out onto a plate in a single layer with some…

To me, this recipe marks the beginning of autumn. There is something comforting about cooked figs and honey. I recommend you to serve it warm, with yoghurt ice cream and a dash of honey on top.

Classic Caesar dressing is usually made directly in a wooden salad bowl in which the lettuce leaves and other ingredients are tossed. In this case, we make the dressing in a blender so that the oil can be slowly added through the feed tube ensuring a beautifully emulsified dressing. Don’t make this dressing ahead; it gets too thick and gloppy.

A Kaiser Roll Is a Must for this Sandwich, Which Requires a he-man study roll that can hold the weight of thick pulled pork. Make this all year round with pork butt that you slow-braised in the oven or slow-smoked on the grill. The pulled pork tastes great with the heat of red pepper flakes and an extra bit of vinegar added to your sauce. Grilling the pork as patties gives the meat a nice crispy texture. The pork holds together better if it is chilled for at least an hour. If you can’t wait that long, then grill the…

The addition of oil conditions the dough and, in my opinion, keeps the bread fresh for longer. This bread is not enriched with milk or eggs, so for those with dietary restrictions, it’s a home run without sacrifice. About the Dough: Sandwich doughs are typically drier, which helps to create a tight, uniform crumb. If you find that the dough is too stiff to mix by hand, use a stand mixer instead.

Is there anything better than a sizzling platter of fajitas? Chicken fajitas are always my go-to order whenever I’m out somewhere that serves Mexican food it’s easy to customize it to be Paleo without abandoning the main components of the dish. I just ask for fajitas without tortillas, rice, beans, or chees sometimes they’ll even give you a little extra avocado to make up for it. I like to make this chicken fajita skillet and eat it on its own, since it’s full of veggies and meat, but you could also put it over a salad if you have any…

One fine morning, when Cedric Brown’s seven children were pretending to be sick and refusing to get up, Nanny McPhee glued them to their beds for the whole day. Later, as the sun was setting, she served them this soup. It may be made from humble vegetable peelings but to the hungry children it was the best dish they had ever tasted.

We never meant for our egg sandwiches to become famous. In fact, for the first seven or so years we were open, we only offered them on Sundays in a limited amount and on a first-come, first-served basis. The original Flour is just a short walk from one of Boston’s classic diners,Mike’s City Diner, which serves a killer egg sandwich along with its characteristic sassy attitude. We figured our customers would come to us for pastries and head to Mike’s if they wanted a more substantial eggy breakfast. Since our kitchen isn’t really set up for a dinerstyle egg sandwich,…
