This is a dish my 17-year old son suggested I share on this podcast as an easy, faster variation to the ever-popular potato bake. Loaded with sour cream, garlic and cheese this creamy potato recipe is an utterly delicious way to bake potatoes. Just remember to choose starchy potatoes like Russets, Sebagos, Yukon Golds, or King Edwards, as their higher starch content breaks down to create a creamy, thick sauce and soft texture.

THANK YOU Mum who first made this recipe for me more than 40-years ago. I just love the chewy sweetness of the dates in these scones – the ginger ale is optional, you could use soda water, mineral water, lemonade (anything carbonated really) but I love the subtle flavour ginger ale shares with the scone.

This is the very first recipe I ever cooked on Channel 7’s Sunrise way back in 2007. It really is one of the founding recipes from our first ever cookbook called – 4 Ingredients – that Australia and New Zealand fell in love with. It’s a love affair that has lasted for almost 2 decades!

Who doesn’t love a quick pasta dish? With big, strong boys in my life – my pantry always contained a bag of pasta as you could buy it anywhere for as little as $1. Pasta is quick, easy and economical. It is versatile, you can flavour with whatever veggies, herbs or sauces you have. Try this but customise to suit you and your family. Use whatever ingredients you have.

The word ‘Nachos’ comes from the nickname of its inventor, Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Anaya, a restaurateur in Piedras Negras, Mexico, who created the dish in 1943 for American military wives. ‘Nacho’ is a common Spanish nickname for Ignacio, and the original dish, ‘Nacho's Especiales’ was later shortened to ‘Nachos’. All I have to say is ‘MUCHAS GRACIAS Ignacio!”

Here is a really easy snack that can be made with bread and sausages and is incredibly popular with kids and men. I often make this when I have leftover sausages from a weekend BBQ or fundraiser, serve with your kid’s favourite sauce or cut in half for a satisfying lunchbox filler.

Satay pizza is a fusion pizza featuring a savoury peanut-based satay sauce instead of traditional tomato sauce. This pizza is typically topped with chicken and vegetables like capsicum, onion, and corn and finished with fresh garnishes such as cucumber, carrots, coriander, or peanuts. This is one the men in my life absolutely LOVE!
