Eggs are such a versatile ingredient, adding texture, flavour and depth to sweet and savoury dishes from across the globe. Hen eggs, duck eggs, quail eggs, we love them all. Here are some of my favourite egg recipes.
Bacon & Egg Pie Bacon and egg pie is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner and, as it’s great served at room temperature, it makes ideal picnic fare. Best of all, the ingredients will be on hand in a well-stocked fridge. I was introduced to this pie by my friend Janni Kyritsis who makes his […]
Escarole Frittata I first tasted escarole (also called curly endive) when I was backpacking around Italy in the late ’80s and stayed with a family in Campania; my hostess showed me how to cook it with pine nuts and raisins. In Naples it’s often cooked with garlic, anchovies, capers and olives as a filling for […]
Goat Cheese & Chive Omelette I love this versatile goat cheese and chive omelette as it makes a simple and delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner. Goat cheese and chives are my go to, but you can use almost any cheese and any herbs, or skip the cheese and just stir some herbs through the egg […]

Lamb Kefta & Egg Tagine My lamb kefta and egg tagine recipe is inspired by a dish from Moroccan chef Hassan M’Souli who served a his version at Manly restaurant Out of Africa. I love eggs and I love the way this dish looks with them cooking in the sauce as it arrives at the […]
Asian Rice Bowl We always want to eat well, but don’t always want to spend hours in a hot kitchen. That’s when throw-together-dishes like this Asian rice bowl are welcome, using whatever’s on hand. This recipe for seasoned Asian rice topped with a fried egg came about one evening when Muriel Chen from Blue Eye […]
Chicken Soup with Fregola Avgolemono-Style Who doesn’t love a good chicken soup – the universal panacea? This version is more of a meal than a soup – and it tastes great! It came about as a way to use up the delicious chicken stock leftover from making Steeped Chicken and I suggest you make it […]
