I had a great time doing the #decfoodphotos challenge this past month so I figured I'd put out another list for January. Thanks to everyone who participated, I loved seeing all the photos! You can check out all of mine over at the junk drawer. It’s easy to play along for #JanFoodPhotos: Take a food inspired photo each day of January that corresponds to the date and prompt in the list above. Feel free to interpret the prompts any way you’d like! Once your photo is taken, use the … [Read more...]
A Merry, Cherry, White Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
A white Christmas. As hard as mother nature tried this year, all she could do was rain on Sydney, not a single snow flake in sight. Not particularly surprising - but it's ok, because this time around I've taken it on myself to create my own white Christmas. Inspired by an image and a conversation seen on sesameellis's Instagram recently I was determined to get a big'ol fake white tree this year. But it was only days before Christmas once I made up my mind, and it was all just too hard, so I … [Read more...]
Rhubarb & Apple Spread. Or it is curd… or perhaps jam. No probably not jam, not really curd either…
One bunch of rhubarb well past its prime languished in my crisper. A few unsightly end of season apples picked up from the organic food store sat forlornly on the bench top. Cooking them down was the only option I could see. I haven't had much luck baking with rhubarb in the past. As a compote it works just fine but baked into anything it just never has any taste to me. Once I used it with with coconut and pear and produced a cake loaf that was so awful even toasting couldn't save … [Read more...]
Chocolate Spice Cookies for the Mayan Apocalypse
He looked up at the sky every night like generations before him had, observing, charting, measuring, but tonight was different. Tonight there was a star that appeared to be coming to earth. He had seen shooting stars before, but this time it was controlled, almost as if someone was piloting the star like a ship... Some say the great knowledge of the Mayans came from time travelers or extra terrestrials. How else could could an ancient culture know so much? How could they pinpoint the length … [Read more...]
2013 Sydney Food Trend Predictions
The world is getting smaller and smaller. News shoots around the globe at an alarming pace, international travel is a regular occurrence and the internet facilitates a continual online cultural crossover on everything from fashion to music to medicine. So why is it that food trends seem to take an enormous amount of time to reach Australia? Are we playing catchup, is everyone waiting to see how it goes elsewhere, or are we all simply too busy eating seafood on the harbour? The end of year … [Read more...]
In my kitchen: December 2012
Each month, Celia from Fig Jam and Lime Cordial hosts a feature called 'In my kitchen'.

A few new discoveries and a few fun bits and pieces - here we go...

Gluten Free Spiced Quinoa Pie Crust
I've mentioned it before, recipe ideas come to me from all sorts of places. Sometimes it's a meal, or a supermarket product or even a movie that sparks a new creation, but other times it's as simple as a 'have you tried...?' inquiry or an 'I wish I could figure out how to...' request. A month or so ago a reader named Elisa P emailed saying she loved my Chocolate Quinoa Pie Crust but was wondering if I had ever tried one without the cocoa. I had considered the same thing myself, but this was … [Read more...]
