This pasta sauce is a great pantry staple creation: a box of passata, a tin of tuna and a handful of salty capers cooked together for a few minutes and then spooned over pasta. You can completely change the flavour by adding (think chilli, olives and anchovies) or subtracting an ingredient or two.
Today’s Lunch:
I have plenty of leftovers from this month’s daring cooks challenge, so you know some inevitably land up in my lunch box. Both versions seemed more tasty after sitting over night letting all the flavours mingle.

This salad started out as my attempt to recreate Primi Piatti‘s hot beef salad, I didn’t quite manage the recreation but the salad was still very tasty.

Did you spot the little mouse in my salad? He’s a buddy of the panda featured in lunch #396. I’m finding these little bottles really handy to add a bit of zing to salads or steamed veggies and of course the cute factor doesn’t hurt either.
Today’s Lunch:
carrot, chorizo, cucumber, egg, feta, frittata, green pepper, lemon juice, lettuce, salad, tomato

This is a lunch that I packed for myself awhile back using leftovers from a Meatless Monday dinner. I made this vegetarian stew by cooking up a bunch roughly chopped tomatoes with chunks of carrot, green pepper and spring onion with some smoked paprika and cumin. When everything was cooked I added some big chucks of smoked tofu and let it warm though.
Today’s Lunch:
carrot, couscous, green pepper, spring onion, tofu, tomato, vegetarian stew

I’ve been a little scarce on the blogging front lately. The combination of a broken camera and succumbing to the nasty bug that is doing the rounds has kept me from packing/posting any lunches. Today’s post is a lunch I packed last week that I photographed with the camera in my phone. It contains my first attempt at making a variation of Vietnamese Summer rolls. They didn’t turn out too badly, but are probably best eaten right after you make them and not left in the fridge overnight as I did.
Today’s Lunch:
baby corn, carrot, ham, mange tout, red cabbage, soy sauce, spring onion, summer rolls, tomato, umeboshi vinegar

Three years ago today I posted my first post on Blogs24 (now Letterdash), it’s hard to believe but all the posts are all there to prove it. As I did last year I’m going to have a little giveaway to celebrate, so keep a lookout for a post on that this weekend sometime.
I found a punnet of red currants in my local Woolworths the other day. They were so bright and cheerful they just had to come home with me. I paired them with some roast chicken and feta cheese in a salad and it was very yummy indeed.
Today’s Lunch:
banana, cheese, chicken, cucumber, lettuce, red currant, salad, spring onion, sprouts, tomato

This is my first post for 2010, so happy new year everyone, I’m looking forward to sharing a year of foodie adventures, advice and camaraderie with all of you here and out in the rest of the foodie blogosphere. I have a few things up my sleeve for this year, the first of which will be in celebration of my third blogoversary later this week, so keep an eye out for a few non lunch posts.
In the interest of improving my lunch pictures I’ve taken to photographing my lunch in the morning before I go to work instead of at night when I actually pack it. So that I can take advantage of some natural light and not have to use the flash on my camera. Let me know what you think, any feedback you have would be really appreciated.
Today’s Lunch:
apricot, asparagus, orange pepper, pasta, pasta salad, pesto, tomato
