Sydney is still not convinced that summer needs to hurry up and get here. She teases us with a day or two of glorious sunny heat, instigating the removal of blankets from the bed and the pulling out of sandals from the back of the closet, only to bring down another week of grey, cold drizzle that once again call for tights, boots and a jumper - no wonder the meteorologists are striking. But the mangoes tell a different story, they whisper promises of days at the beach and x-mas holidays and … [Read more...]
Quinoa Tortillas
You know when you try something out expecting one result and what you get is so much better? Yeah, these are that. I noticed recently that Bob's Red Mill has started ranging in Australia - I was excited to say the least. FYI - they have nothing to do with this post, I just really like their stuff ... that said, if they sent me a hamper, I wouldn't say no, what I would do is giggle like a kid at Christmas. I get excited about baking supplies, it doesn't take much. Anyway, while I already have my … [Read more...]
Blood Orange and Almond Upside-down Cake
I've made this cake a few times recently - all in the name of testing of course - tweeking ingredients, adjusting flavours, getting it just right. So when organic blood oranges made an appearance in the shops a couple of weeks back I couldn't pass up the opportunity to use them. Around the same time, the October Unprocessed initiative was launched for 2011. As we have essentially been eating unprocessed [and a bit further] since last year, I signed the pledge and then I put up my hand to … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Pie Pancakes
It is officially autumn in America-land. The seasons are changing, Halloween is full steam ahead there are pumpkin recipes everywhere. Sydney on the other hand has not yet woken up to the fact that it should be getting warmer here, and although it is now light until after 7pm [thank you daylight savings] it still feels more like winter than spring. All of these things combined, along with the promise I made to continue the 'brunch we never had' and the fact that shortly the trip recap will … [Read more...]
Perfect Banana Cake with White Choc Passion-Fruit Icing
I think I owe you a cake post. Here I am talking about hotels, and travels, and footy but there has been a distinct lack of cake. Now anyone popping over from October Unprocessed ~ waves ~ hi! ~ is looking at this cake and probably saying 'how is she listed on the #unprocessed posting roll-call and baking stuff like this?'. Easy, it's not for me ... I have been making the cakes for work birthdays lately and, well, there is not quite the desire that I have to eschew sugar and butter and white … [Read more...]
Chili Garlic Monkfish Pasta
Watching cooking shows when hungry is kind of like going grocery shopping on an empty stomach. Probably not the best idea. We were watching the final episode of The Wild Gourmets in Spain on the ABC the other night ... by the end of it I was dying for clams with white beans and tomatoes, and white fish marinated in salsa verde with yellow potatoes and a salad of some kind with jamon and pine nuts and strong blue cheese - I don't even eat meat, it was at the point of ridiculous. Alas it was … [Read more...]
Cornbread Waffles with Cinnamon Apple Compote
Now I figure that all this trip recapping will go on for quite a while, and in the meantime the least I can do is make you brunch. That said, it is only fair to let you know that the sub-title of this post is 'the brunch we didn't have until now'... Someone Tweeted a pic the first day of Blogher from Cafe 222 in San Diego. I looked it up on The Google Machine and decided that as it was just on the edge of Gas Lamp, and only blocks from our hotel, we needed to go there immediately if not … [Read more...]
