Who knew adding veggies to your breakfast bowl could be such a shocking (SHOCKING!) idea? Apparently the concept is confronting and unusual and unexpected, yet -- as someone who adds veggies to porridge more days than not -- I find the reaction to the idea as shocking and unexpected as the idea itself. It is however all a matter of packaging (isn't everything?). I recently shot some photos and videos for the #mybrekkiebowl campaign, and as part of the press release I was quoted … [Read more...]
Fruit Omelette & Blueberry Muffin Croutons
No long tomes today, just bright pretty pictures. Because if I get started (really America-land? Trumpf? What the fuck are you thinking?) I may never stop, and it won't be pretty or bright. And right now there are enough dark angry things out there, so I'll refrain for the time-being from feeding the machine. If you need me I'll be hoping the words of this inspirational woman get through to the hecklers and burying my fears for the future in mounds of rainbow coloured fruit. And if … [Read more...]
Beetroot & Berry Smoothie Bowl
You can hear the detractors arc up as soon as a pretty photo crosses the screens of their phones, "smoothie bowls are so over-done, so trendy, only good for pretty Instagram pictures!". They it yell loudly and repeatedly (because they quite obviously have nothing better to do, or perhaps have been pushed over the edge by one too many failed avocado rose attempts), and fixate on to the next so-called trend. However I, brandishing a spoon like a sword, am here to stand up and say, "who cares, … [Read more...]
3-Ingredient Emergency Cookies
Sometimes you just need a cookie. It's a sentiment which seems to be a common theme around here these days -- although it's not quite as opinionated or parenthesised this time, ahem. These little morsles have made many an appearance on Instagram over the years, generally in a fit of irritation over something or other, occasionally for dinner, and very unfairly with nary a recipe to be seen. Of course this is almost to be expected for something with the word "emergency" in its name. As … [Read more...]
Spelt Crepes, Mulled Wine Poached Pears & The Decadent Pantry
I've always been a bit of a perfectionist. Not in a 'the lines have to be straight' kind of way but more 'just fix that little bit, and that little bit, and that other little bit because they're driving me mad'. Details and I were best friends for years, or so I thought. The predisposition to perfection -- call it low-level OCD if you must -- is terribly handy for activities such as folding fitted sheets (I have the most organised linen cupboard ever, to RJ's chagrin I never quite make it to … [Read more...]
Fridge Surprise Skillet Hash & 3-Steps to Becoming a Leftovers Renovation Superstar
Sit up straight, take a deep breath and repeat after me... "Leftovers" is not a dirty word,"leftovers" is not a dirty word,"LEFTOVERS" IS NOT A DIRTY WORD! Don't believe me? I'm such a fan of the sentiment that I even made a little video to prove my case. Now I do get it, leftovers are -- without a doubt -- polarising. People either love them or hate them -- and the hateful feelings are generally driven by shudder-inducing (or gag-inducing) memories of dried out, fragrant in the … [Read more...]
Amaretto Peaches
Dear Sydney summer, you suck. You've been blisteringly hot or rainy and cold all season, with barely enough decent beach days to count on two hands since you began. And lately? Well it seems you think we all enjoy the frizzy hair and sweaty faces that accompany 80%+ humidity. Well guess what, we don't. Yes, yes, I sound all first world problems and all but seriously, what's the point of living here -- with the over-priced fomo food fads and heart breakingly expensive real-estate … [Read more...]
