In all honesty, it would be a killer use for grilled steak, mixed into burgers, stirred into veggies and rice or smeared onto BBQ’d jumbo prawns (mmm, shrimp on the barbie!). The sweet and sour slaw was a refreshing, crunchy and cooling accompaniment, balancing out the entire meal.
As if that wasn't a mouthful enough! These are deceptively light, yet very lemony (not too sweet) and have little piques of interest from the sesame seeds. A pure raspberry fruit jam spreads on top and bakes into a fruity, slightly tart glaze.

This is almost - almost - my grandpa's famous garlicky hummus. I don't bother buying tahini since it just sits in the fridge after 1 use and goes bad, so I came up with using the ground sesame instead. I had a batch of mixed ground sesame and flax on hand, so thats what I used. This definitely tastes best when you've used home-cooked chickpeas!

I had to be somewhat of a "harvesting ninja" to get the goods for this spicy salsa from my garden - my stepdad has banned me from veggie picking this year :-S ! The heat is stealthy too - since the peppers are all roasted it starts off mellow, then brings a punch from behind! Serving size = approx 2 tbsp
Lightly seasoned and pan seared before being dressed up with a dusting of sweet paprika “rouge”

A sweet, nutty chewy brownie made with Gianduia chocolate chunks, honey, rich cocoa and a blend of oils. Dairy free, made with low-fat soy milk. Don't use fat free in this recipe though, a little fat is needed! Due to the addition of apple butter in place of some oil, it is still a lower-fat dessert.
A tropical sweet and tangy vodka-based sauce that can be used for a variety of things... great over poundcake for a simple dessert.
Terrific, low-fat, protein-rich and extremely easy, a perfect accompaniment to carrot sticks or toasted pita. Makes about 1 cup, 8 servings of 2 tbsp each.

A rich, creamy chocolate and almond dessert that has a consistency that can only be described as pate. Don't let that throw you off, though. It's delicious! "Cook" time is final chill time.
