It's a funny thing about papaya and pawpaw - they are often confused as both fruits are called pawpaw in many regions. In truth they are not related botanically.
The confusion arises because in Australia and some other countries, they are different varieties of the same tropical fruit species.
Papaya is the one with orange to red flesh and is narrower than pawpaw. Pawpaw flesh is yellow and the fruit is generally larger than papaya.
Anyway, either make great salsas and salads, They also have green varieties that are great in summer for tangy dishes. In this not-so-good pic from the archives, we used ripe pawpaw for a delicious salsa.
Pawpaw (or is it Papaya?) Salsa
Take some chopped pawpaw and mix with Thai basil leaves, chopped fresh red chilli, shredded fresh young ginger and sliced shallots or red onion. Toss with green coriander leaves. Dress with a mixture of lime juice, jaggery or palm sugar, and toasted sesame oil.

A bit of a tangle today. Coconut Pumpkin Curry - with rice, crispy fried onions and peanuts.
The curry can be made with either Butternut Pumpkin or Kent Pumpkin (previously called Jap pumpkin). It is delicious, so flavoursome, and incredibly easy to make. I paired it with coriander rice and scattered toasted peanuts and crispy onions over the top.

Sweet Corn Fry with Chilli, Black Pepper and Lime
Sweetcorn is one of the treasures of Summer, so creamy, full of moisture and luscious. We love them raw and also grilled with lashings of butter. Sweetcorn soup is brilliant, and tangy chaat a perfect snack.
Another recipe we love is a spicy, peppery stir-fry of sweetcorn kernels. It is very easy to make, and a great side dish. The sweetness of the corn with the tang of lime juice and the heat of the chilli and pepper – flavours layered to perfection.

Dates and Saffron Soaked in Spiced Ghee
For millennia, dates have been considered an energy giving tonic by many cultures. Taken to the next level by Ayurveda (the Indian traditional medical system), dates are combined with other healing and energy giving substances – ghee, saffron, cardamom, cinnamon and ginger. Rich and sweet, Dates and Saffron Soaked in Spiced Ghee is said to nourish and revitalize your deepest tissues. This mixture is a classic rasayana, a tonic for rejuvenation. It is also an ancient love potion! Whether you want to love another person, or your life, or just find more happiness in your day, this is definitely for you.
Healing and love making, what more is need from a tonic that is more like a snack than medicine? It is said to strengthen immunity as well as aid digestion.
RECIPE
To make, take 36 – 40 good quality dates, and place in a large jar.
Melt some ghee, about 1.5 – 2 cups. Add a pinch of saffron threads, 1/4 tspn each of cardamom powder, ginger powder and cinnamon powder. Pour the warm ghee over the dates, put the lid on and allow to sit overnight.
Eat one date every morning for renewed energy, health and a little bit more love in your life.

Elizabeth David's Potato Salad
We can’t go past a great potato salad, right? Being a country girl, potato salads were at every community and family gathering – chunks of potato with creamy home-made mayonnaise (from home-produced ingredients) and garden-fresh herbs.
This is a French Potato Salad recorded by #ElizabethDavid in her book #FrenchProvincialCooking. The potatoes are cooked then sliced and liberally dressed with oil and vinegar. It is absolutely divine. Here I have scattered it with dill.
The salad can also be dressed with a thin mayo if you are definitely the mayo-only-dressing for potato salads.

Aloo Wadiyan (Punjabi)
Wadiyan (also spelled Varian and Badiyan, and called wadi for short) are large balls of dried lentils, particular to the cuisine of the Punjab. They are sun dried spicy urad dal balls that serve to spice a dish and also to thicken the gravy. They are very spicy and each bite sends a burst of flavour to your tastebuds. They are also quite meaty in texture, and thus a good option for your non-vegetarian friends.
This dish cooks the wadi and potatoes (and sweet potatoes - my addition) in a tomato-onion-spiced gravy for a relative quick, definitely easy meal. Wadi go very well with potatoes, but can be cooked with other vegetables too.
Here I have used a mixture of potatoes and sweet potatoes, or you can use butternut and potatoes. These mixtures are not really traditional, but work very well in the modern kitchen.
Because the Punjabi wadi are extra spicy 🌶️ , not a lot of other spice is needed in the dish. I sometimes forget this and end up with an EXTRA spicy meal! 🥵 🔥

Kasa Kasa Payasam aka Poppy Seed Payasam
Poppy Seed Payasam is a nutty and creamy sweet dish made with white poppy seeds, coconut and saffron simmered in milk and topped with toasted cashews. Payasam is a typical Indian traditional sweet usually made for festivals and as a sweet treat in homes.
Poppy seeds are tiny seeds known as kasa kasa in Tamil. Indian recipes usually use white poppy seeds rather than the black ones, so look for them in your Indian supermarket. They are used for their flavour, texture and thickening qualities.
Did you know that poppy seeds calm the mind and stimulate the digestion? In Ayurveda the taste is pungent, astringent and sweet. Its heating action acts as a vata calmer. Used with nutmeg or valerian they can induce relaxing sleep.

Zucchini (or use radish) with Soy and Wasabi
I am a great fan of wasabi – anything hot for that matter. Horseradish, mustard, wasabi. I like it when it gets up your nose and leaves you breathless with its heat. Now you don’t have to like it as hot and pungent as I do in order to like this snack/salad - you can temper the taste to your own preferences.
It is a lovely dish, put together in 3 or 4 minutes, perfect for Summer evenings or any time the weather has a bit of heat in it. Use zucchini or red or white radishes – they work equally well.
The idea came from one of my loved books – #JamTodayToo, by #TodDavies. A treasure trove of easy to make dishes with at-hand ingredients.

Chilli Beans!
Years ago I used to make a chilli dish – the recipe comes from a dear friend who lives in the Grampians. It was a chilli that is often called “Mexican” although it is not, and includes coffee, chocolate and red wine. I gave up making it when I adopted a vegetarian diet. Much later another friend reminded me that chilli without meat is possible – and also delicious.
Elwyn’s Chilli Beans was such a no-fuss recipe – a few essential ingredients cooked at the barely simmering heat level for hours until all was infused with chocolate, coffee, wine and chilli.
The success of a Bean Chilli, with our without meat, is the deep, dark richness of the sauce. I took Elwyn’s recipe and added favourite spices to deepen the flavours, a variety of vegetables to enrich the dish, and some walnuts – I often made enough to feed our street! Luckily it freezes very well. It is quite a “meaty” dish with the walnuts adding a great texture.

Purslane, Portulaca Oleracea, is an edible succulent that spreads vigorously. The leaves are crunchy with a tangy lemon-peppery flavour. It pops up from late Spring through to Autumn. It is prolific in my garden, and I pull the whole plants out when young, nip off the root and use the stem and leaves. For larger plants, stems are picked and leaves removed. You should always wash it really well as it is such a ground-hugging plant.
Pick them early in the day for best flavours. If I need to pick them later in the day, I will cover them in water for an hour or so until they perk up and lift their heads. Don’t soak any longer, they turn to mush (being a succulent).
In some countries you can buy Purslane in green groceries but in Australia that is not the case. You can forage alongside footpaths and in parks/ green areas, but always be careful that it has not been sprayed. The best way is to purchase some seed, or gather it from flowering foraged plants, and grow in your own garden. Once you have planted it in your garden you will always have it. It grows best in warm to hot, dry climates.
To store purslane pop in a plastic bag right after picking and put it straight in to the refrigerator or a cooler bag. It will keep fresh for a week. Don’t wash it until just before you are ready to eat.
It is used around the world eg Greece, Mexico, South Africa, India & Turkey. It is a nutritional medicine cabinet with remarkable amounts of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. It is mainly used raw but is also cooked in some places, eg India.
It is used in salads and can be used to replace other sour or lemony ingredients such as sorrel in salads and other dishes.
It is great in smoothies and home made juices. Add to your herbal teas, toss with pasta, add to sandwiches and wraps, use as a garnish for any dish, add to salsas and toss into Pudla mixes.

Way back in Covid lockdown time everyone was baking bread. I was a bit of a laggard – we don’t eat a lot of bread so it was not my first thought. But, 4 months later than everyone else, I saw a recipe that had me visiting my secret supplier of bakers flour and fresh yeast (everywhere else was out of good quality product), and this beautiful loaf was born.
The recipe that excited my bread-baking genes was one from Nigel Slater that includes spelt flour and dry cider! The cider gives it a lovely, almost sour dough, tang. It is mixed with milk for a beautiful soft crust. This was Good Bread!

Pear and Apple Salad with Cucumber Dressing
I have been in love with pears in more savoury applications since last century’s fascination with putting them in salads, soups and baked dishes. Here, pears and apples come together in a salad with a creamy yoghurt and cucumber dressing. A crunchy salad that will brighten anybody’s day.
The dressing is a nice combo of grated (and drained) with yoghurt, turmeric, cumin, mustard, sugar, chilli powder, fresh lime juice, and a little sea salt. More chilli powder sprinkled on top.

Purslane is abundant in our garden during Summer, even in Autumn. All season, starting early December, it appears in different parts of the garden. We follow it around, pulling out the plants and using the leaves. A nice way to keep it under control.

Cauliflower and Parmesan Farinata
I love Farinata but don't make it enough. It is made with a chickpea flour batter. I like to bake them, although some people will cook them on the stove top. Baking gives a different experience. This one is with cauliflower, onions and parmesan.
Farinata tastes a little like an omelette, and cooked right, it will slide right out of the dish. Served in wedges or squares with a salad (and some Celeriac Chips!), it makes a lovely lunch or light evening meal.
The idea for this farinata came from #Ottolenghi’s recipe for Cauliflower Cake in #PlentyMore. That recipe uses eggs and I wanted to make something with similar flavours. So this recipe for farinata was created.
Ottolenghi says that cauliflower needs more attention. He says that it’s one of the most magnificent of all vegetables and is as versatile as potato. I reckon he is right.

Baked Peppers Stuffed with Buttery, Cheesy Vegetables
Fondant is a word that is associated with icing these days. But it comes originally from the French, a cooking term meaning to melt. Fondant Potatoes is the most well known dish where the method of cooking is applied, but it can be used for other vegetables. They are cooked in butter, or in butter and stock, until achingly tender. Sometimes, as is the case with the Fondant Potatoes, an external crispy layer is achieved.
#Ottolenghi has a great recipe in #PlentyMore for capsicums stuffed with fondant swedes. . So I twisted and turned his recipe to make it work with what I did have on hand – Kent Pumpkin, Parsnips and Cabbage. Absolutely delicious.
Ottolenghi has two versions of this dish. The one in the Guardian column (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/jan/15/stuffed-peppers-swede-gruyere-recipe) uses gruyere cheese and does not par-cook the capsicums before stuffing. The one in Plenty More uses parmesan and goat’s cheese, and bakes the empty capsicum halves before stuffing and returning to the oven. I prefer this one as the capsicum shells are more tender.

I have been collating recipes for whole mung beans for my daughter who has a surplus of them. This is one of my favourites.
Khar: garlic-flavoured mung beans with greens
Khar is a unique Assamese dish, traditionally served as a starter.
Khar can be made with a variety of ingredients – pulpy vegetables such as gourds, papaya, pumpkin, zucchini, eggplant and cucumber, as well as lentils and a variety of greens. Here we used Mung Beans although toor dal and urad dal are also common. I have seen it made with rice flour and no lentils.
The greens can be any mix you like, and I often use mustard greens with chilli leaves (when I can get them). I have even addes some betel leaves (when available).
The recipe has a lot of garlic in it which softens its raw bite due to the cooking and adds a lovely umami flavour.
Don’t confuse this dish with Lebon Khar, which is a Middle Eastern dish of cucumber and sour cream or yoghurt with a vinegar and mustard dressing.

Bondas are a popular street food in parts of Indian like Mumbai. Bondas are little round dumplings made from chickpea flour and generally filled with potatoes (but here I use cabbage). They are sold from street carts or footpath stores, and in those little working-men’s canteens that have wonderful, very cheap food.
It is not so hard to make them at home. We were given this recipe for cabbage bondas and they are delicious. They can be made flat into a patty, or round to resemble the potato bondas.
Serve them with a chutney, or layer them in a sandwich with chutney, tomato, lettuce and other salad type ingredients.

There are not many traditional cuisines in India that include soup, with an exception of shorba's in North India and Rasam's (not really a soup) in South India.
Indeed, many Indian people I have mentioned it to have averred there are no soups in India.
On one of my last trips, tho, we were served tiny cups of soup at the end of the meal - they were simple, unspiced morsels of deliciousness (and we'd often have 2 or more). A "shot" of soup, a bit like the tiny cups of chai on roadside stalls.
But the Goan Portuguese/ Catholic cuisine is another exception - there are simple, home-fare soups full of flavour. In fact you can say that the flavour goes beyond what you expect from the ingredients. These are cheap and every-day dishes, quickly and easily made, yet comforting and filling.
This #soup, Sopa de Legumes, is a vegetable soup that is pureed and then greens and dried legumes added – chickpeas or white beans or any dried pea or bean that you have on hand.
When I made this one, I used a stock that included mushrooms, so the dish is a little darker than normal. Usually it takes the colour from the vegetables you use – varying from white if only potatoes are used, to yellow-orange from carrots and pumpkin.
It is also probably meant to be eaten in small amounts, but I eat it Western style.
Honest, healthy, home-cooked deliciousness.

You will adore these green pea croquettes – how spectacularly coloured they are, especially for Winter when foods can be darker hued. They make great snacks, dipped into the creamy sauce. They will become a favourite, I am sure, and the croquette/fritter mixture can be made and shaped the day before you want to cook them. Keep them in the freezer to help with the shaping of the croquettes, and bring them out 30 – 60 mins before cooking.
This is sort of an Ottolenghi dish from Plenty More. But his recipes use eggs and we do not cook with eggs. The eggs are replaced with chickpea flour and a little cream, and I used a chickpea flour batter. It is a change that worked extremely well, and the result is amazing. We did not crumbed our croquettes, but you can do that. (I did use a little polenta on some to give extra crispness.)
Here is his recipe, but I think mine look better 😊 https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/may/28/pea-mint-croquettes-pasta-recipes

In one episode of Master Chef some years ago now, the contestants had a mystery box that contained pineapples and green peppercorns. We were yelling at the TV screen “Kerala's Pineapple Curry!!!”. Sadly, they could not hear, and I don’t recall that anyone paired them together.
Kerala uses pineapple a lot in savoury ways, and this is one of them. So, to all Master Chef contestants, this is how you enhance the flavour of pineapples with chillies, coconut and green peppercorns. Pineapple Pulissery with Green Peppercorns.

Chickpea Flour Pancakes - perfect quick meals – topped with any imaginable toppings, from curries to sautés to Wintery salads. These are not like wheat-flour based pancakes or crepes, quite different in flavour and texture in fact. But so delicious and full of protein.
These pancakes are made around the world with little twists depending on the region. They range from the Dosa, Cheela and Pudla of India to Socca and Farinata in France and Italy, to a variety of the French Panisse. In Gibraltar, there is the Calentita, in Spain, the Caliantetorta, and in Algeria and Morocco it’s the Calentica (or Kalantika). Various places can call it Karanteta, Karantita, Guarantita or Garantita.
There are yeasted versions, egg based versions, baked ones and pan-cooked ones. Toppings for the pancakes are endless. They can be studded with roasted red bell pepper, fennel, salty olives and fresh herbs. Or topped with pesto and creamy ricotta cheese. Spread with caramelised onions or fennel jam, toasted cumin seeds and a harissa-tossed mix of salad leaves. Spread with a tahini-eggplant puree and topped a wild rice and walnut salad. Or just a drizzle of herb oil will do for an afternoon snack. I love to use the pancakes like a soft tortilla, wrapped around the filling.
