08:12This delightful fish curry is light enough for warmer weather. You can use barramundi, monkfish, King George whiting or red snapper. A few prawns wouldn't hurt either.
07:17Underripe green tomatoes hold together better than their red counterparts when fried. They also keep a pleasant savoury note and make a great vessel for shredded duck tossed with horseradish and creme fraiche.
05:54Spruce up your next summer mango smoothie with a pinch of cardamom and dash of rosewater.
06:46You can't beat a simple dish of grilled mushrooms on toast. This would go great for breakfast with an egg ontop.
05:49You'd be surprised how many fruits get better with a little grilling. These skewers make plain old watermelon a dessert-worthy dish.
05:02It's not that common in Western cooking to mix sweet and savoury but the soft texture and mild flavour of eggplant makes it surprisingly good for a sweet-savoury mashup.

05:29Zucchini and eggplant offer the green and black components in this salad. They're balanced by the sweet and fresh hit from stonefruit and nashi pear. The recipe serves two as a main dish but will easily feed four as a starter or side.
06:51Who can resist anything crumbed, fried and topped with crunchy chilli, garlic and onion. Especially with the twang of a pickled cucumber underneath.
08:07Cassava is usually boiled or fried, but a light grill turns them into the perfect gluten-free base for these seasoned lamb patties. The recipe makes around 20 little canape bites.
07:43This curry is made with an interesting vegetable called kundru, it looks like a cucumber but unlike it's fresh, crunchy cousin this one gets cooked into curries and savoury dishes.
