Berry & Banana Smoothie

A scrumptious, low fat, low GI smoothie which I found in the October 2005 issue of the Australian magazine ‘Delicious’ and have adapted. Because it’s different from other smoothies I’ve made, I have posted it here for safekeeping – and for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

Aussie Eastern-Styled Potatoes

I found this one while wandering the website of the Australian Vegetarian Society’s website. It really reflects how modern Aussie cuisine has been influenced by other regions of the globe. Plan to try this soon but posting it untried for the Zaar World Tour. As presented it uses the original ingredients with my interpretation of how to prepare the dish. Cooking time is estimated.

Zucchini and Basil Soup

A quick-to-prepare, low fat, inexpensive and yummy soup, adapted from a recipe I found in the Australian magazine ‘New Idea’. Not sure exactly when, but I think from 2005; it’s one I cut out of the magazine some time ago, and have made several times since then. Like most soup recipes, it’s extremely verasatile: you can add other vegetables that you have on hand that need to be used. I’ve added baby spinach leaves that needed to be used, and on one occasion, I added a packet of lentils. If you add other vegetables, you will probably need to add more stock. BTW, 750g = 1½ pounds.
