| Our contributing chef Lennox Hastie often writes very movingly of the impact his mother's cooking had on his own cooking. Childhood memories loom large for Lennox, and inspire many of his beautiful recipes. This week Lennox recalls what would happen on the rare occasions when his mum was away from home, and his dad used to cook. What did his dad cook? Well, pork chops of course. Read his piece that may remind you of your own father's efforts in the kitchen when mum was away, then try Lennox's jazzed up version of this classic dish. Greek food is having a moment. Readers and cookbook devotees can't get enough of these great Mediterranean recipes that are not only wonderfully tasty but good for the health. This week Melbourne-based Ella Mittas offers three recipes from her new book Ela! Ela! Each is packed with flavour and soul. Happy cooking. |
