"You may miss the oil, you may miss the cheese, but this recipe is not only very simple to make but is very healthy and flavoursome, and costs only $A2.65 per serve. It has been adapted from a recipe in the January 2009 issue of the 'Australian Healthy Food' magazine. If you find this recipe just too frustratingly fat-free, add some parmesan..."

"I decided to try a chayote after seeing them on sale at my grocery store for only $0.50 each. I had no idea what to do with it and decided to cook it with another ingredient I never know what to do with, cauliflower. For a recipe I just made up, everything turned out really great!
