Yes, you read that correctly. I’m mixing quinoa and mashed celeriac together. After the success of serving quinoa and mashed pumpkin separately last weekend, I thought, why not see how quinoa tastes and feels in a starchy mash.

The other day I was in a text message conversation with Dad. He and Mum eat pretty well, and by that I mean they eat lots of fruit and vegetables and their meals are not dominated by animal protein like that of their sons.

Dad mentioned he ate a couple of pieces of KFC hot and spicy chicken and said he enjoyed it. It had been some years since he had enjoyed any KFC at all.

Celeriac mash is a new love of mine. I’ve been making it a little recently to enjoy with steak. I was on Twitter earlier today and my friend, Zena, mentioned she was keen to try mac and cheese made with brie, parmesan, and blue cheeses. Given I’m low carb living at the moment, I thought I’d try three cheeses with my Vegemite celeriac mash. I call it my Easter tri-cheeses Vegemite celeriac mash.

If you’re on Twitter, check out Zena, and follow her.

I bought everything from Coles.

I cooked with my Anova Culinary Precision Cooker.

Delicious cauliflower soup

Last week I made a dynamite spicy pumpkin soup. At the time I was also thinking of making cauliflower soup and adding some jalapeño peppers to spice it up a bit. Of course I’d also add my secret ingredient, viz., SPAM®

Tonight I put together a cauliflower soup with a twist. In addition to the jalapeño pepper and SPAM® I added some celeriac. It was delicious.
