Oooh, I did this yesterday! Bought lovely figs from the market and was going to make spiced ricotta tart from Gourmet Traveller then realised that It wouldn’t transport well for work etc (I’d have to eat it all in that case!) so adapted my banana bread recipe and turned it into a fig loaf, and truly one of my tastiest creations yet!

Peter G – It’s true! Sometimes you just feel uninspired.
Peter – Glad to hear it!
Shari – I hope you give it a go, it’s so fun!
Lorraine – I love pouring through my cookbooks too. One small problem – there’s too many! :)
Jesse – My sister in law is vegan. I love the challenge.

Those are great ideas! I had a vegan roommate a long time ago and it made me very creative. I also like to just go look in my garden and try to compile a meal with what’s ripe… then it’s also practically free!

There are some great, well thought out ideas. I usually find flicking through old recipe books that I think that I’ve exhausted are good (there’s always something that I’ve missed).

I love all your ideas! Especially the one about turning a sweet treat into a savoury one.
