Santa came to our house a day early when I was growing up.

We'd wake up early, collecting stockings from the staircase on our way down to the tree, eat baked french toast for breakfast, pack, pile into the car and for the next 8 hours -- over the river and through the woods, obviously -- to … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Granola
J: can you please write a post about pumpkin granola for me? R: granola, it's good J: yeah, need a bit more than that R: ... J: ... R: I don't really like granola J: I'm not talking to you anymore. The pumpkin obsession continues, this time in the form of granola -- because while I'm perfectly fine with eating pie for breakfast some people may feel granola is more appropriate. I'd call those people silly but to each their own. At this point I should probably try to draw a … [Read more...]

Prep.Prop.Style.Shoot: Snapshots from Breakfast plus a Pineapple & Kiwi Green Smoothie
When a chef, one who runs a holiday property in the country none the less, emails to ask if you want to come down to Tasmania to teach a two-day food photography and styling workshop, the only possible answer is yes. When she mentions that she'll do all the cooking, talks about stringing fairy lights through the trees for dinner and sends you photos of a possible picnic location at the end of a pier you know it's meant to be. And so it was that I found myself, a mere month after that … [Read more...]

Fig & Walnut Chai Porridge
They say necessity is the mother of invention and one morning not so long ago breakfast was a necessity (as it is most mornings, obviously). But this fateful morning, before I sliced and toasted the last Hot Cross Bun, I rang RJ to say hello... R: hey, that toasted Sticky Date and Chai Hot Cross Bun you made for me this morning -- are there any more left? J: one... R: can I have it for breakfast tomorrow? J: ... R: ... J: sure.
