3 days. 3 days until we're sitting on an airplane headed to America-land. 3 days of blur. The past few weeks have flown by in a flurry of editing and technical-publishing-learning-as-I-go-blah-blah and food photography and art direction. It will continue up until the moment we leave, and quite possibly for a bit while we are away, and as a result the impending holiday is proving a bit more laced with stress than anticipation. Incidentally, any recommendations on things to do and places to … [Read more...]
Chai Spiced Snickerdoodles & a makeover, of course
I have no story to tell today. My head is full, but full of lists and need-to-dos and must-dos and should-dos. The lists squeeze the stories into a tiny room with little light and a window that seems to be painted shut. The stories bang on the door every now and then, demanding attention. I appease them with tea and cookies. I'm hoping I can appease you with the same. These cookies have been percolating in my head every since they were suggested by Jackie B over on this post as … [Read more...]
Moroccan Quinoa, Avocado & Orange Salad
I mentioned in my last post that I'd received a crate of oranges recently, and rather than just eating one each day I challenged myself to do something different with them all. I was so pleasantly surprised with some of the combos I came up with and this salad was one of my faves. Fruit in salad can freak me out a bit - perhaps too many years of bad 90's raspberry vinaigrette has scarred me for life - but oranges are a great way to add a bit of a sweet/tart bite to winter … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: August 2013 (The Quarterly Edition if you will…)
Oh dear it's been a long time since I've done one of these posts. I've been thinking about it each month then the days come and go and well, here it is, en masse if you will. March/April was the last wrap up so this is a snapshot of mid-April up until today. Off we go into a few months of stuff, organised into only slightly random categories that make sense in my head, to link up with Celia's August 'In My Kitchen'. Cookbooks Some made by me, some by others, some may appear as review posts. … [Read more...]
Rocket, Parsley & Pepita Pesto
Necessity is the mother of invention and this pesto is the result of a last ditch rescue mission in my crisper. There are a few of those happening lately. A Spaghetti Squash - more on that later - purchased from the same stand as those tomatillos, steamed up. A couple of frozen mackerel filets, pan fried. And the pesto, blended together in the blink of an eye. Fridge surprise lunch at its best. Rocket, Parsley & Pepita Pesto Rather than letting yet another couple bunches … [Read more...]

Gluten Free Quinoa Cornbread
I've been a touch quiet 'round internet-land these past few weeks but there's been lots happening in the background... A few Dining Out posts, a few events, and a whole lot of design / editing / food photography for a new extremely fast turn around project has meant that this is not only the first recipe post in two weeks but the first thing I've cooked and photographed for my own purposes since those Almond Croissant Makeover treats. Phew. Of course that meant I not only tackled one … [Read more...]
