Roast Cauliflower Soup with Coconut and Turmeric

July 13, 2025 By admin Leave a Comment

This is a tasty soup enriched by the roasting of the caulflower. The recipe is from Laura Davidson’s website A Beautiful Plate and is apprently adapted from this cookbook.

I only had half a small cauliflower (instead of 2) so I ended up adding less coconut milk (I had coconut cream), and it was still a bit thin. I think this also mde the spice a bit more intense, but it was nevertheless tasty and simple. I also used home-made chicken stock.

I make quite a few soups with coconut milk and bottled Thai or Malaysian curry paste as they are pretty simple, but they usually have chicken or seafood in them. I’ve never thought of doing this with cauliflower.

Anyway its a great recipe and its vegetarian so I’m tagging it here.

I love learning about Middle Eastern cooking. I love the flavours, colours, mixture of savoury and sweet, and I also particularly like serving a table full of different plates of food where everyone can help themselves. As well as making flatbread, I like making simple, tasty, colourful dips. Here are two regulars on our table…

Roast Cauliflower & Spiced Honey Carrots with Whipped Hummus

January 31, 2024 By admin 2 Comments

I sometimes say “This dish is going on the Cafe Menu” – which means that if I were ever to start a cafe, this dish would be on the menu. I’ve gathered together three of Yotam Ottolenghi’s ideas and added a bit. Serves 2 people. Whipped Hummus I’m not even sure if Ottolenghi uses this…

Sweet Potato, Feta and Onion Quiche

August 22, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

This is a tasty and simple quiche. The recipe is from Delicious magazine and is here. I made Maggie Beer’s Sour Cream Pastry instead (with added thyme leaves). We had been given the eggs from a friend so they were local and fresh. It’s great so try it. [Shortly after taking the photo, the quiche…

THE COOK

I live and cook in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. The region is similar to the Mediterranean, with temperate climate, fertile hills, nearby ocean, wonderful local vegetables, fruit, wine and meat produced locally. Cooking has been a growing passion for me, about connecting culture, creativity, community and spirit. The small garden in our new home is currently being established with some native bush ‘tucker plants’ and a range of herbs. I’ve just bought a yuzu tree!
