1. Shakshuka with Creamy Fetta & Warm Crusty Bread
Some say sleep is like a time machine to breakfast, but you don’t need to wait until the morning because breakfast starts tonight! This protein packed Shakshuka is enjoyed for every meal the world over; from Tunisia to Israel to Turkey and beyond. There’s something about the creamy fetta, smoky capsicum and gooey egg yolk that is just irresistible.
2. Carrot & Haloumi Fritters with Fresh Cucumber & Mint Salad
When carrot met haloumi: a matched made in heaven to be sure! The sweetness of carrot against everyone’s favourite non-melting cheese makes for a really lip smacking combination here, and all that cheesy goodness is balanced out with a heavenly cucumber and mint salad that’s perfectly refreshing.
3. Paneer & Spinach Curry
We love using paneer (it is everyone’s other favourite non melting cheese after all), a delicious Indian cheese that pairs beautifully with big, bold flavours. Tuck into this golden curry and toast the country from which we draw endless culinary inspiration.
4. Goat Cheese, Pecan & Roast Vegetable Salad
A feast for the eyes as well as the stomach, this salad is a true celebration of the sweet nuttiness that can be found in a savoury dish. Between creamy sweet potato and beetroot, crunchy toasted pecans and show stopping marinated goat cheese, you won’t be able to decide what to eat first!
5. Eggplant & Mozzarella Roulades with Traditional Pesto
Not one, but two types of cheese here! Eggplant’s robust texture makes it perfect for this recipe; after baking it’s sturdy enough to be rolled up with pesto infused ricotta, and topped with tomato sauce and stringy mozzarella. A dish so tasty and rich you’ll be making it again and again, we promise.
6. Za’atar Haloumi Salad with Basil Yoghurt Dressing
The secret to this dish lies in its perfect harmonious balance between sweet and savoury. Haloumi always wins Miss Congeniality on a cheese platter, but the real secret to making it come alive is pairing it with sweet roasted carrots and beetroot. Finish with some fresh basil and you’ve got a real stunner!
7. Mushroom & Caramelised Onion Quesadilla
These traditional cheesy quesadillas incorporate unexpected but delicious mushrooms for a rich umami hit and sweet burnished caramelised onions. The result? Crispy moreish slices oozing with cheese and rich filling – perfect as a winter warmer or al fresco summer fare.
8. Curried Paneer & Spinach Chapattis
There’s plenty to like about this Indian inspired chapati wrap, but our favourite has to be the paneer cheese – it’s mild and yet intriguing, kinda like a cool person you immediately want to be best friends with…at least, that’s how we feel!
9. Stuffed Fetta & Thyme Mushrooms with Fresh Rocket

10. Pesto Haloumi Burgers with Rosemary Sweet Potato Chips
We’re so excited about this burger! Crispy chunks of squeaky haloumi and bold pesto on a crispy baked roll will delight your tastebuds, and along with side of crunchy sweet potato chips? Let’s just say you won’t need that pub burger menu with this recipe under your belt.
11. Warmed Lentil Salad with Blue Cheese
12. Green Olive & Cheddar Frittata with Mixed Leaf Salad
This green olive and cheddar frittata is like a slice of Spain on a level 1 plate. It may appear complicated, but trust us when we say this oven baked treat couldn’t be simpler!
13. Mushroom, Broccolini & Pine Nut Pizza
14. Cheesy Fritters with Dill & Parsley Mayo
15. Moreish Mushroom Risotto with Parsley & Parmesan
