Green Bean and Zucchini Slice
A few years ago, roughly about the same time when I became an avid cookbook and cooking magazine reader, I wouldn’t even contemplate going grocery shopping without a carefully planned menu for the week ahead and a detailed shopping list. The problem I would often encounter back then was that the occasional key ingredient missing […]
Zucchini Bread
This recipe was created during one of Mummy’s fridge and pantry clean out sessions. Chef Gerald never likes the sight of a half-empty fridge, but he has come to accept the fact that we have to make room for fresh groceries on a weekly basis. The ingredient list here is rather long, however the cake […]
Zucchini and Lemon Risotto
When Chef Gerald and his Mummy decided about two months ago to start a balcony garden, little did they know that their project would involve encountering various life forms that were never supposed to be part of our social circle. It all started innocently enough with a few planters of herbs for Mummy and a […]
Zucchini and Corn Pancakes
Happy New Year to all our lovely readers! Chef Gerald did not approve of his parents staying out past his bedtime on New Year’s Eve, but luckily all was forgiven thanks to the lovely sunshine he’s been enjoying over the past few days – and his growing balcony crop of strawberries and chillies 🙂 He has […]
Nettle Green Pea and Zucchini Tart

Yes, you read it correctly, nettles – the stinging variety, to be more precise 🙂 Daddy had never had cooked nettles before, but […]
Leek Zucchini and Cherry Tomato Quiche
“Where’s Mummy, Daddy, where’s Mummy? She’s run away with my quiche before I had a chance to sample it! What a naughty Mummy!!! And I’ve had an eye on that quiche for a couple of hours now, waiting patiently for it to cool….Where’s my quiche?” Finally, I get to have a taste! Human parents don’t […]
Zucchini Silverbeet and Quinoa Bake
Only 12 days left until the official beginning of spring! The weather in our neck of the woods behaves as if it can’t or won’t read the calendar though, and there are times when the cold gusts of wind and wintery showers never seem to end. But then again there is also the occasional break […]
Neil Perry’s Pasta with Simple Zucchini Sauce
As we all know, life can get pretty hectic sometimes, especially on a mid-week night. This is when Mummy and Daddy get back rather late from work, there are plenty of things to do, there’s a baby parrot who needs to be entertained and dinner has to be ready early enough for Chef Gerald to […]
