Pikelets? With Kale and Cheese?! Yup. Kale and cheese pikelets with chilli sour cream. great for lunch or picnic food... Vegetarian, and that's all!

This Phillipine fish soup is light but has plenty of substance for a meal in itself (you could add a handful of rice noodles if you want a bit more body).It has fresh veg (tomato, broccoli, shredded greens) with onion, garlic and ginger to get it started, some fish sauce and lime. It's very refreshing! Is DF and GF.

And finally, there are some chicken sesame balls - great for snacking and lunch, or add to a pile up of finger food and have a feast... The little meatballs have sesame, ginger and garlic.  They are super tasty, a genuine crowd pleaser (even with small people!). They are DF and GF.
