I love experimenting with flavours and this omelette is no different. Made with Gippsland free range eggs, from the Queen Victoria Market, wasabi cheese and kale micro herbs – delicious! Welcome to In my Kitchen for the month of May. So much to share with you all . . . so let’s get started.
In my Kitchen . . .
. . . is the best goats cheese ever! I came across this when I worked at the tennis at the start of the year. It’s from Meredith Dairy, which is located in Victoria, and can be found in most supermarkets, fruit and vegetable stores or delis. We have this with lamb and also on our homemade souvlakis. Yumm, yumm, yumm!

. . . are these African chilli salts I bought for $10 from the Oxfam shop. There’s a hot, mild and smokey chilli salt. You know how much I love chilli, so I found these chilli salts I was just a little bit happy! 😉 I haven’t had a chance to try them yet but they smell amazing! I’d love to hear any inspirational recipes or ideas in the comments below.
In my Kitchen . . .
. . . are organic cacao powder, organic coconut sugar, linseed (flaxseed) meal and organic quinoa, all from The Healthy Life in Geelong. I bought all these goodies to try less refined sugar, more fibre and no chocolate in the sweet things I make, to help my sister with some special dietary requirements . I’ve always wanted to make a dessert or breakfast using quinoa but I haven’t had time to research. If you would love to share any ideas or recipes with me, I’d love to be inspired by your comments.

. . . is the kale micro herbs I bought from my local Organic grocer, Organically Grown Malvern. Great garnish on our omelette (above) and in salads. I thought they were too cute to pass up 🙂

. . . is the wonderful organic Farro couscous from my beautiful friend Tania at My Kitchen Stories. We tried this the other day when I made my Moroccan lamb stew (stay tuned for the recipe) and it was absolutely delicious! It was perfectly fluffy and very tasty for spelt, which I’ve never tried before. Thanks Tania, we love it 🙂
In my Kitchen . . .
. . . is some orecchiette I thought I’d try. I didn’t realise how long it takes to cook! I made a beautiful smoked trout and capers in a creamy sauce dish but it will need to be tested again as all my timings were out due to the pasta cooking time. The pasta itself is quite nice in texture and it holds its shape nicely. The sauce sticks perfectly to the orecchiette which I find a bonus with any pasta.
In my Kitchen . . .
. . . are supplies from The Source Bulk foods in Prahran. I thought I’d stack up on goodies to nibble on throughout the day instead of potato chips and chocolate. In my supplies are (from top left hand corner) chickpea flour, polenta, almond meal, veggie chips, cashews, almonds and brazil nuts with fruit mix, chia seeds, sesame seeds & pepitas, LSA, Italian herb spice mix, gogi berries with cacao nibs and coconut oil.
In my Kitchen . . .
. . . Otways free range organic smokey bacon from Big Vic Deli at Queen Victoria Market. I decided to give it a try as I’ve read many stories about bacon at the supermarket being full of water! So I grabbed half a kilo to try and guess what, splatter free bacon! Love the smokey flavour and the way it didn’t curl when cooked.
And the last item In my Kitchen this month . . .
. . . are the fresh mussels left over from school. We made seafood chowder and there was so many mussels that if we wanted to take them we could – so I did 😉 Unfortunately, I forgot to put them in some salty water overnight and majority of them opened and dried out!
Oh and in case you missed it, my recipe round up for the month -my chicken, Shiitake and noodle stir fry. Enjoy!
Where are my cookbooks this month I hear you ask? Don’t worry, there’s a few coming next month that I’m sure you’re all going to love. And if you would love to join us so you won’t miss out on my new cookbooks, we’d love to have you join our fun kitchen stories via the lovely Celia at Fig Jam & Lime Cordial, who hosts this wonderful party, hope to see you soon. PS All my lovely friends, I’m coming over to be inspired by what’s in your kitchen right now 😉
