Feta, macadamia and pear is nice. Just google it. It's a masterfoods recipe.

The Dinner Spinner quinoa one is rather good too
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Just posted, then thought of this one too, always goes down well...


800 – 900 gm baby beets (tinned)
5 tomatoes wedged
2 spring onions sliced diagonally
2 T fresh parsley chopped

Dressing:
Couple shakes garlic salt
1 T sugar
Salt and pepper
50 mls olive oil
3 T balsamic vinegar

Heat baby beets in oven til hot and have a baked look ( I stick them in the oven when heating the other food)
add other ingredients to salad bowl - shake up the dressing in a jar or lidded container- add beetroot & dressing just before serving
 looks cool on a white platter.
