It’s been such an honour working with OzHarvest] the past four weeks, helping launch their Use It Up campaign.

Each week OzHarvest polled their audience to see what ingredients their community had at home that needed using up. I then came up with a recipe based on the ingredient, along with five other ways it could be used up.

The ingredients and their corresponding recipes were:
Celery - Celery Salad
Asparagus - Easy Pasta
Eggplant - Chinese Braised Eggplant
Pears - Overnight Oats (pictured)

To see the recipes, head to OzHarvest] reels tab, or find the “5 ways to Use It Up” under their Use It Up highlight.

I’ve been a long time admirer of OzHarvest and .kahn work, championing food waste, tackling sustainability, educating and upskilling the community. It’s a dream to have collaborated with such an awesome company! 💛

P.s. Saved by Supper Club dates have just been released! Can’t wait to fight food waste with you in person again soon ♻️💃💪💛

Have you purchased $1 strawberries? Strawberries have been at record low prices in Australia the past months, with punnets as low as $1. However good for the consumer pocket, farmers are losing out on money. reported that Queensland growers estimate each punnet of strawberries cost $1.30 to produce. This has been due to lockdown and low demand. Farmers have even resulted in spraying crops, wasting perfectly healthy fruit as the cost of production is not worth the sale price.

Swipe across for some ideas on how to use up strawberries.

There’s a feeling of excitement in the air. The parks buzz with picnics of 5, restaurants are starting to open up bookings for the long awaited reopening. Lockdown is tough in so many ways, for individuals and businesses alike. I never realised how much my weeks revolved around where I was eating next, until I wasn’t able to dine out anymore. Ordering take away has not only been my way of supporting my beloved hospitality industry, but something to look forward to each week. I thought it only fitting to reflect on some of the stand out eats I’ve consumed during lockdown:

1. Georgian grazing box from so many goodies. The Adjica sauce is addictive and I didn’t want it to end. The focaccia is perfectly salted, delicious walnut chicken dip. Leftovers? Make toasties and pierogis!

2. Maritozzi, a sweetened cream filled soft white bun from Roman restaurant turned lockdown bakery .sydney

3. XO trout pack from everything was delicious. I’be had their XO dumplings dine in before and they did not disappoint at home. Their potato and molasses bread is always a winner, their butter lacking a little salt which was easily remedied at home, I ate the second slice for dessert 🙈

4. Take away coffee in keep cups doing the good things!

5. Oooft the popcorn fish $10 pack from is fire, also the raw Fich taco went down a treat. The crunchy corn pieces added the perfect textural component to the soft fish, with a lettuce leaf lining the soft shell taco for ultimate, non soggy take away.

6. Coffee liqueur from made from spent coffee grounds. Delicious and sustainable, it’s perfect poured over vanilla ice cream for a quick dessert.

7. Sometimes simple is best, chive cream cheese bagel from

8. A surprisingly meaty, oozy Tuna Cheeseburger from at home.

9. Agedashi Tofu and Sashimi Bento box from my favourite Japanese place Sushi on Stanley. Unfortunate amount of plastic packaging, ultimate belly deliciousness.

10. Feijoada from smoky and delicious with huge chunks of meat, their coconut Pudim is also a winner.

The power of dumplings and dough. What constitutes a dumplings? There’s the classic pork and chive, xiao long bao, pierogi, vareniki, mango and momo. What about empanadas and samosas? They’re filling enclosed inside dough.

We’re not food historians or cultural experts here at The Talented Eater, but what we do know is that dough is good. Dough is tasty. Dough is versatile. Dough is a great way to use up your leftovers, or random bits and bobs lying around the fridge.

Go ahead, make some dough and sauté up those little bits of half eaten vegetables in your crisper. The pierogi inspired dumpling filling in the last photo consisted of: 3 week of 1/4 cabbage, homemade red kraut from over a year ago, carrots, wilting Italian green we’d forgotten about in the crisper.

The art of baking, is it really a science? This question divided The Talented Eater community with a clear 50/50. Never thought it would be so divided!

However, rather relevant, as we feel like it’s a mixture of science together with the freedom to “just chuck it in”.

We feel as long as you understand the basic principles of baking. I.e. you know a cake batter needs the following:

Sweetener (sugar, maple, honey)
Something to bind (eggs)
Some sort of flour (we often use a mix!)
Fat (butter, oil)
Raising agent (baking powder, whisked egg whites)
Flavouring (vanilla, fruit, chocolate etc)
Liquid (milk, yoghurt, pureed fruit)

Swipe ➡️ to read some beautiful words one of our followers messages in, love hearing you guys giving it a go!

Will you give the “just chuck it in” baking method a go? Or are you more or a baking scientist? 👩‍🔬
