Back in January when we launched Eat Real we had no idea how big it would become. It all started with a simple idea – to make healthy eating easy, to cut through the hype and get to what’s real. The science was clear. Healthy eating isn’t about fads or strange foods. In fact, Grandma was right. It really IS about veg, fruit and wholefoods – all of which are right at our fingertips. Now, thanks to your support, Eat Real is a cookbook series, a dedicated section in taste.com.au magazine, a Healthy Hacks video series, as well as our most popular ever section on the taste.com.au website. On a personal level, as a food-loving working mum and wife who tries to be healthy, Eat Real has given me a…

Michelle Q How do I store nuts so they stay fresh? Nuts contain a lot of oil and, over time, it becomes rancid and tastes nasty and bitter. To keep your nuts fresh for longer, store them in separate airtight containers or sealable plastic bags in the freezer. Label and date them – they’ll keep for up to 6 months. The best part is there’s no need to thaw them before cooking – just use them straight from the freezer. Katrina Q Organic and free-range chicken – what’s the difference? While both free-range and organic chickens have outdoor access to forage, there are a few key differences. Certified organic chickens generally have higher animal welfare conditions, in order to foster natural behaviours, and a focus on environmental sustainability. There’s no…

Staking what little reputation I have left on 2018 being the year of the chow mein resurgence, I declare households will be clamouring for an updated version of this daggy takeaway meal. The story of chow mein is inextricably linked to another old 1970s favourite, chop suey. In Australia, chow mein is basically just chop suey with soft noodles. The original name tsap seui means ‘miscellaneous leftovers or scraps’; while choa mein translates as ‘fried noodles’. While the US favours crispy noodles in their chow mein, the chow mein here in Oz tends towards a stewed-soft mix of hard vegies, like cabbage, celery, carrot, onion, of course, bean shoots and soft noodles, flavoured with anything from Chinese cooking wine and questionable homemade soy sauce to a packet of chicken noodle…

there are many paths that may lead us to choosing to eat more plants and less meat – health reasons, the environmental impact of animal agriculture or perhaps the desire to not harm animals. Or maybe it’s because you know that vegie meals can be complete and delicious as a stand alone. Simple as that. Whatever your path, eating this way can be creative, tasty and filling, and we hope this book makes eating a plant-based diet, whether for a meal or for life, enjoyable – and easy! These recipes celebrate Asian flavours and spices, inspired by our recent and past adventures there. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Often, we associate Asian meals with convenient takeaway that is high in artificial flavours or preservatives, and…

“Onion jam adds a rich flavour.” “Boost your vegie intake at brunch.” Mortadella and a chilli kick lift my eggs benny to new heights. the city of New York claims this brunch favourite as its own, sometimes crediting yachtsman Commodore E.C. Benedict, sometimes a Wall Street stockbroker or sometimes the famous Delmonico’s restaurant. There are so many variations on the ingredients that perhaps it doesn’t really matter who came up with the idea first. In my version, I’ve upped the sweetness with homemade onion jam to contrast with the spicy mortadella. Use thin slices of this Italian sausage or slice it thickly and quickly pan-fry it for a more bacon-like texture. If you have the time and inclination, make your own muffins to add a special touch; it’s worth the…
