Lemon Paprika Wingettes & Drumettes
- Wingettes and drumettes are coated in a bright, fragrant marinade and laid on a rack over a baking tray, allowing hot air to circulate and the natural fats to render for a crisp finish without the need for frying. As they bake, the aroma shifts from fresh and citrusy to warm and savoury, filling the kitchen. The wings emerge golden, lightly charred and juicy, with a glossy surface if finished with a glaze. Baking keeps them lighter and a healthier alternative to deep‑frying, while the rack ensures even cooking and that satisfying crisp bite. They’re best enjoyed immediately - either on their own or paired with a favourite dipping sauce.

Classic Roasted Vegetables
- There’s something timeless about rustic cooking - the kind that fills the kitchen with warmth and aroma. This roasted vegetable recipe celebrates simplicity and sensory richness comprising of golden potatoes, sweet carrots and velvety pumpkin roasted until caramelised. Garlic bulbs soften into buttery perfection, their edges turning golden as rosemary releases its earthy fragrance. A drizzle of olive oil and fresh lemon juice ties everything together - bright, aromatic and deeply satisfying. It’s a dish that’s humble yet indulgent, where every bite tells a story of texture, colour and flavour.

To be part of the top 20 home cooks on the inaugural season of Recipe of the Year Australia hosted by the highly regarded Adam Liaw and Pia Miranda with the Country Women’s Association, is a moment that fills me with gratitude and excitement.

What began as Cooking with Franky — a heartfelt cooking page sharing culinary traditions from cultures near and far as part of my voluntary community outreach — has grown into a space where recipes become stories, memories and connections that travel with us through life. It’s a reminder of the importance of backing ourselves and taking that leap of faith. I’m honoured to be branching out alongside incredible cooks who each bring their own unique twist to the table. Food isn’t just something we make, it’s something we share, relive and reinvent together.

Stream Recipe of the Year from Sunday 11 October at 7:30pm on ABC iview and ABC TV.
