Date, orange and olive oil cake
This almond meal olive-oil cake is wonderfully moist thanks to the orange, date and lemon syrup drizzled over. A beautiful blend of Mediterranean flavours.

Spaghetti aglio e olio
This dish is a great example of Italian cooking philosophy. Just a few simple, good-quality ingredients (including the sneaky olive oil) can create something truly unforgettable.

Garden cake
A beautiful lemon and olive-oil cake that's moist, full of flavour and topped with delightful flowers and rosemary.

Olive oil mashed potatoes
Silvia Colloca loves the grassy notes that olive oil adds to mashed potatoes, and often uses a pungent Tuscan-style extra-virgin olive oil for added flavour. If you swap dairy milk for nut milk, this lovely side dish becomes vegan-friendly, too.

Quick stovetop granola
This easy granola is ready in about 20 minutes, and you can change the nuts, fruit and spices to suit whatever you have on hand.

Pizza rustica with olive pastry
Pizza rustica is like a hybrid between a pastry and a calzone, with an unleavened olive oil pastry-like dough encasing anything your heart desires. In this case, a classic spinach and ricotta filling.

No-churn olive oil ice-cream cake
NOMAD executive chef Jacqui Challinor loves this recipe because it’s a great way to showcase olive oil as an ingredient with a flavour profile in its own right rather than just a condiment for cooking.

Roast capsicum and olive oil pasta
Freshly roasted capsicums blended into a sauce with toasted pine nuts, olive oil and garlic for a really fresh pasta dish.

Focaccia while you sleep
SBS Food editor Camellia Ling Aebischer plays around with focaccia.
