25.01.2022 {QUICK TIP} Want more bang for your buck? Bulk up your meals with legumes and veggies. Not only will you get more serves per dish, you'll also be contributing your daily intake of these nutrient-packed goodies! Try adding kidney beans to mince dishes or mixed frozen veggies to curries. How do you make your meals go further?

25.01.2022 Thanks to everyone who came to see our stall at O Week. We hope you had as much fun as we did!

25.01.2022 We are almost finished updating the USC cookbook, and are now in the process of deciding upon a new name for the cookbook so if you have an idea of a great title for the new cookbook let us know!

23.01.2022 What do you think of the cover for the updated USC cookbook?

23.01.2022 Good news - it's Friday!!! Sounds like the perfect excuse to whip up this delicious Pale-Ale Pizza that so many of you devoured at our stall during O Week. Here's the recipe in case you missed it: Pale Ale Pizza Dough Makes 3-4 medium pizza bases... Prep time: 30mins + 1-2hrs proving time Cook time: 15 mins Ingredients: - 300mL Pale Ale - 7g dry yeast - 2cups plain flour - A good pinch of sea salt and pepper - 3 tbs olive oil - Toppings - we love lots of veggies (think capsicum, mushrooms, pumpkin, tomato, eggplant, zucchini or whatever else you've got in the fridge) with a bit of chicken or pepperoni, olives and cheese. 1. Place bottle of Pale Ale in a jug of hot water for a few minutes until the beer becomes warm but not hot. 2. In a mixing bowl add the yeast and beer and mix until well combined. 3. In a separate bowl mix together the flour, salt and pepper. Gradually add the beer mixture to the flour, then the olive oil. 4. Once combined knead the mixture on a floured bench until the dough is smooth and elastic. 5. Form the dough into a ball and put in a bowl, cover with cling wrap and place in a warm dark place for 1-2 hours or until the dough has doubled in size. 6. When the dough has doubled in size, use your fist to knock back the dough, and then divide into 3-4 portions (approximately 200g each). 7. Preheat oven to 200C. 8. Roll each portion on a floured surface to desired thickness and diameter. Place pizza bases on lightly oiled pizza trays. 9. Spread pizza with tomato paste, pesto or any other favourite spread 10. Top bases with your choice of toppings. 11. Cook in hot oven for 15-20minutes until crisp and golden. 12. Top pizzas with rocket and drizzle with olive if desired. Serve immediately. We recommend enjoying a slice of pizza and sipping on some left over pale-ale for the perfect way to kick off the weekend ;)

20.01.2022 What do you think about the health star rating website being pulled down by the government in less than a day? http://www.abc.net.au//star-rating-website-disappe/5246990

20.01.2022 This week in the office we're loving simple salads! Throw together a few of your favourite veggies, toss in some legumes (chickpeas are great!), a drizzle of olive oil, your favourite herbs and voila! An easy, delicious and clean lunch full of slow-release carbohydrates to curb that 3.30-itis.

19.01.2022 Hi Everyone! Have you heard about USC Diversity Week? Get involved and host an activity that celebrates the Diversity of Us. Diversity Week Grants are available www.usc.edu.au/diversity

18.01.2022 Fun at the USC cookbook tent today! Visit us again tomorrow for more food, fun and cooking demos.

17.01.2022 Check out this chickpea curry adapted from the USC cookbook! We'll be running a cooking demonstration for this dish (along with a few others) complete with free tastings and recipe cards during orientation week at USC. On a side not, the leftovers from this curry are just as good (if not, better) the next day for lunch as the flavours really get a chance to infuse through the dish. Plus, you'll save money not having to buy lunch elsewhere. Winning!

10.01.2022 {BUDGET-TIP} Have you planned your meals for the week ahead? Spending a few minutes at the beginning of the week to plan out your main meals for the week is a good way to save money in the long-run. Here's how: - Write up a shopping list of all the ingredients you will need to get you through the week so you can get the grocery shopping done in one hit. - Buy in bulk where possible (for example, rice, beans, meat)... - Avoid shopping on an empty stomach to prevent unnecessary impulse purchases (3 frozen pizzas, a block of chocolate and a packet of chips seemed like a good idea at the time...?) How do you tackle the food shopping? See more

04.01.2022 {DID YOU KNOW?} - more than 5% of the Australian population are food insecure - food insecurity occurs when people don’t have sufficient food, experience hunger as a result of running out of food and being unable to afford more, rely on food relief, are anxious about acquiring food, or eat a poor quality diet as a result of limited food options - university students are an at-risk group due to: -> low income ... -> living out of home -> limited cooking skills/knowledge (2minute noodles AGAIN?) -> time constraints (between studying and "enjoying the university experience" there's little time left to shop, cook and eat) The USC Cookbook aims to address these issues by providing healthy recipes that are quick, cheap and easy to make. Stay tuned! Hands up if 2-minute noodles or Mi Goreng has been a staple for you at some point or another...
