This story begins and ends with me eating cake for breakfast so, if you get worried along the way, be safe in the knowledge that everything will be ok. On cheesecake and fat If you are going to eat cheesecake just accept that it should be full fat. You can try to mess with it, go low-fat, but honestly ... why bother? It's cheesecake. I'm not going to get into the pro/con argument over fat, there are plenty of people leading that particular charge just fine on their own, but keep in mind … [Read more...]

Gumtree Garden – The Rocks, Sydney (feeding my design addiction)
If there were more hours in the day what would you like to do? Of course there are the obvious answers -- spend more time with family, cure hunger, create world peace (I'm so Miss Universe material) -- but those aside what would hobby would you take up? What skill would you learn just for yourself? It should come as no surprise that I'm an extremely visual person and, although food is my first love, I have a secret, burning passion for design. I would love to be able to take a room and … [Read more...]
Strawberry, Cucumber & Coconut Water Slushy
A dose of refreshment on a hot day, a dose of sunshine on a rainy day -- this frosty drink is as appropriate post-yoga as it is post-beach. Another thing I've decided to do as part of my sticking with what works approach is to finally dig out recipes and pics from the past year or so that haven't made it into posts yet. This was shot -- ironically enough almost a year ago to the day -- using stunningly sweet new season berries and coconut water from a young coconut. I froze the fresh … [Read more...]
Top 10 Items to Take to a Conference – PLUS Bonus Tips
Tomorrow I fly out to Perth for Eat.Drink.Blog -- Australia's only dedicated food blogger conference. I've been known to go to a few conferences though the years so I figure I'd share a some tips I've picked up along the way. Now this isn't a post about what shoes (flats, sandals or boots dependent on weather, something for the party), or sequined tops, or linen pants, or jeans, or sundresses to pack. It's not about why you shouldn't be nervous (because everyone is nervous). Or about how … [Read more...]
Chargrilled Broad Beans
I'm kind of stuck right now. Pulled this way and that, feeling as if very few things are actually moving in a forward direction while others zoom right past. I haven't been posting much lately as I can't seem to find anything to write. The recipes come, as do the photos, but then I simply draw a blank. I thought taking a bit of time out would help, reignite the words perhaps, but it hasn't. So instead of waiting or writing rubbish just to fill in spaces I'm going to stick with what works … [Read more...]
