Welcome To My Kitchen

Since I love photographing food, and I love to cook and I love to eat, I thought I'd share a recipe and photos with you each fortnight, so keep checking back to get the latest recipes. I'd also love it if you'd send in your own photos once you've made the recipes. Send them to hello@icreative.au. If I feature your photo, you'll be entitled to a discount on professional photos.

The weather is overcast and threatening to rain today so it puts me in the mood to do a simple soup. A comfort food that is still delicious but so easy to make in the slow cooker seems the way, today. Slow cookers are the best when you have a lot going on - just put the ingredients in and basically leave it alone.

I don't tend to measure anything when it comes to cooking so I'll just let you know what I do but if you want measurements, I'm sure they are on the lentil packs. 

I firstly rinse the lentils and then add them to the slow cooker and add water to cover. I put the cooker on the high setting.

Then I finely chop the ginger and chilli and pop it in. I don't add any salt at this stage as I prefer to add it when serving. If needed, I will add water as it is cooking, give it a stir (and go back to my photography work) while it finishes off. Less water, the thicker it is, just how I like it.

Served with toasted sourdough bread and topped with pumpkin seeds and it is done! Don't forget to send me in your photos when you have created this recipe, to hello@icreative.au
