Parsnips are cheap, seasonal and massively underrated.
This is what you should be doing with them.

Crispy parsnip rösti, garlicky dill yoghurt, soft eggs and chilli oil. All the flavours of Turkish eggs but make it a parsnip.

Episode 2 of Dig In with Del is live on YouTube.
Four raised garden beds filled for $74, using the garden bed lasagna method, it’s a bloody tasty recipe 😂😂

And we did it mostly with free materials. And we found these hiding in the old beds while we worked. Carrots straight to dip in the hummus for lunch!

Full episode on YouTube now, the link is in my bio

How do you poach an egg properly?
And why does the speed of the boil matter?

It’s another why Wednesday where I answer all your burning kitchen questions!

Want my free guide? Grab it here 👇
The average household throws away around $1,500 worth of food every year.
That's not a judgment, it's just what happens when life gets busy, and things get pushed to the back of the fridge.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I put together a free guide, 6 simple kitchen habits that actually make a difference. No complicated meal plans, no fancy ingredients. Just practical things you can start doing this week.
It's completely free, and I'd love for you to have it. 👇

Cauliflower Tikka Masala. Honestly it’s a banger!
This homemade cauli dish really is a win.

Spice, charred cauliflower with a classic tikka masala sauce, a great easy fake away meal for the midweek blues.

The full recipe is on my website.
