“OMG Gina. We just had dinner and the Uzbekistan Chicken and salads were just stunning!!! We will be having this again” Kelly, North Melbourne

Roast Veg Tart 

Made with my famous homemade cream cheese pastry this tart uses a combo of all leftover veg, roasted until deliciously caramelized, combined with herbs (or sometimes pesto) and topped with an eggy, cheesey, sour cream filling. Utterly delicious.

“It’s really nice eating vegetarian when it’s cooked properly.” said a very brave Flemington Husband to his exhausted wife who was just pleased to have had dinner made for them!

Refillable Jars 

Shredded Veg Salad Jar: $20

Undressed, a seasonal mix of veg, leaves, herbs and sometimes Edamame Beans. Should last a week without dressing. Great as a side with your bacon and eggs, pop it in a sandwich or with your dinner protein. You can also stir fry it or make it into soup at the end of the week if you’re sick of it or if it’s not tasting as fresh as it was at the start of the week!

BREAKFAST

Almond Granola: $16

• Almond Granola: Almonds, Oats, Cinnamon, Ginger, Coconut Oil, Maple Syrup

“Gina, your granola is insane! Thank you!”

SNACKS

• Oaty Choc Chip
• Passionfruit Yoyo’s
• Seeded Anzacs
• Anzacs
• Almond Kisses

Josie’s Curly Fries: $15

Nigella gave us the idea to spiralize potatoes and make them into chips. Turns out they are super tasty cold, and last for a week (if you manage not to scoff them all) in a sealed jar. Perfect little crunchy treat for the lunchbox (because if your children are like mine they are constantly asking why everyone else gets packets of chips in their lunchboxes) but without all the packaging and additives. Just pure potato and oil (ha!), and maldon salt or chicken salt if you like.

Talking Nuts: $25

A nutty combination with a sweet and savoury spice mix.

Lavosh $25

Tasty, crisp, salty sesame flatbread. Flavoured with Onion Powder and Parmesan or Fennel (Vegan option) or any other flavour you desire.

Delicious. Addictive.
