The coconut caramel wasn't burnt, per say, but it was well past the colour it needed to be to make light tan kaya jam, and it had to be light tan. So into a jar it went and into the refrigerator to be worried about another day. A new batch of caramel was made for the kaya, which in turn was made into bread pudding for photos, and all was well with the world. But that jar of caramel kept staring at me each time I opened the fridge. It knew darn well that it was only moments away from the bin, … [Read more...]
Zucchini Zoodles with Poached Trout
"Darling, can you please get the basil?" Scotty quips with a twinkle in his eye. Luke pretends he doesn't hear the request, continuing to banter with the captive audience and add to his growing army of cacao and coconut haystacks. When pressed again Luke claims that he has no idea where the missing basil -- or the refrigerator it may be hidden in -- is instead handing Scott a spoonful of the chocolate mixture and changing the subject. Scott and Luke are as lovely as they are lovely … [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.

So instead of waiting or writing rubbish just to fill in spaces I'm going to stick with what works … [Read more...]
A peek at something I’ve been working on…
It's no secret things have been a bit quiet around here lately and if you follow 84th on various social media you would have seen little snippets of an enormous project I was working on from the end of July until just a few days ago. I mentioned that I'd edited, photographed and published a mini-cookbook for Jackie M back in June and July, but in the midst of wrapping that project we were already knee deep in the next one -- a digital magazine! What started as project management … [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...]
Tea Time Tuesday #4: Green Ginger & my recipe in a cookbook alongside Maggie Beer
Yep, you read right my recipe alongside Maggie Beer, imagine that. If you've been around these parts for a while you'll remember back when my Pear, Goat Cheese & Caramelised Onion Jam Sandwich won the 'What can you pair with a pear' recipe competition. Well that very recipe is now rubbing shoulders with creations from Australian chefs such as Vincent Gadan, Justin North, David Bitton and the aforementioned Maggie Beer, in a new cookbook from Australian Pears. Rediscover … [Read more...]
