Some of my absolute favourite food stories as Food Editor of Australian House & Garden with a stellar creative team over the years.

I’m often asked what inspires the recipes I create each month. It always begins with a theme, and from there I’m guided by seasonal produce, colours, family traditions and the flavours I know will bring people together.

Of course, we shoot months in advance, so sourcing has become a skill in itself! But that’s part of the magic, imagining how each recipe will look, feel and hopefully inspire you to cook at home.

As we wrap our winter shoot day, I’m feeling so thankful for every recipe, every table and every moment that travels from the pages of House & Garden into your homes.

Thank you for cooking along with me.

Next up… more delicious comfort food to share, gather and connect over. Enjoy, Amanda x

SAVE this recipe! You won’t believe how delicious this 5-ingredient red lentil and cumin soup is. Packed with protein and made from simple pantry staples.

It’s the kind of recipe that will have you keeping a bag of red lentils in your pantry at all times.

My Red Lentil & Cumin Soup.

Ingredients
1 large brown onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon Celtic salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, extra to serve
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 heaped dessert spoon tomato paste
3 carrots, peeled and grated
2 cups (400 g) red lentils
2 litres water
2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
Parsley to garnish, finely chopped

Method
1.Place the onion in a large saucepan with 1 tablespoon if salt and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Sweat down on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add a dash of water if onion drys out.
2. Turn heat to low-medium. Stir through cumin, tomato paste. Add carrots, red lentils and water. Stir through.
3. Bring up to a boil on medium–high heat.
4. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally in the last 5 - 10 minutes to prevent sticking.
5. Once the lentils are soft and the soup has thickened, remove from the heat. Add salt and cracked black pepper to taste. Sprinkle finely chopped parsley and serve with a drizzle of olive oil.

Can add crumbled feta or stir through yoghurt for a more protein packed meal.
