Perfect Picnic food! We have made this recipe three times now and we love it, it's so versatile. I think you can make it vegetarian or add meat for meat eaters. I followed the recipe exactly as written the first time we made it and it was so yummy. Now we add finely slice chicken breast and it's still very yummy. We pack it in the esky and ate it up at the park. I have also made it as an after school snack, (fix it at lunch time and perfect when Little Miss (DD) returns home). It's important to leave it flat for more then 1 hour because the flavours all enhance together. I like using Crusty Cobb Bread as it's easy to manage. Thank you Missy Wombat.

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
