My 3rd blogiversary (in early November) passed before I realised it had arrived. I let Thanksgiving slide by without a mention or a single pumpkin recipe. I managed to outdo myself in December -- with no less than three truffle recipes, two cookies, a pie, an ice cream bombe and some spiced syrup -- but the other day another milestone crept quietly past. I only remembered the day after, while sitting at lunch with a client no less, that I had arrived in Australia 12 years ago intending to … [Read more...]

In My Kitchen: September/October 2013
As good as it was to be off on another adventure it is so very good to be back in my own kitchen and eating veggies on a regular basis. I contemplated doing a collage of the food we ate while we were away but there is just too much of it... I'm not even kidding. Most of the fun things from our holiday ended up on Instagram so if you are looking to waste time, plan an eating holiday, or just make yourself hungry go for it. In the meantime here are a few things from before we left, things … [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...]
Gluten Free Cheezy Rosemary & Black Pepper Crackers
I just thought it would be best to warn you up front, these are spectacular. Crunchy, salty, cheesy, savoury, addictive. I'm one of those people who is usually quite satisfied with a small handful of chips or a single spoonful of ice cream or one slice of cake but with these crackers all bets are off. I'm not even kidding. It's the last Monday of the month and therefore time once again for a Secret Recipe Club post. This month I was assigned the lovely blog Fearless Homemaker, and talk about … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen – March/April 2013
I'm not sure what happened to March but all of a sudden it was April so I figured I'd just do a big'ol combined post to link up with Celia’s April ‘In My Kitchen’… In my kitchen this March and April: Remember my ginger growing attempts from February? Well both the one under the soil and on top were failures, but what would you know another piece sprouted on its own... I buried most of it leaving only the very top of the bud to peek out of the soil out and before I knew it roots were growing … [Read more...]
Beef & Chicken Lasagne. Or Lasagna. Tomayto, tomahto.
Working in hospitality when I first moved to Sydney I learned quickly that "Would you like tomahto on your sandwich" caused many less confused looks than an America-land 'tomayto' when asked across the counter of a cafe... Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. Now we all know I don't eat meat, so what am I doing making a Meaty Lasagne? And for that matter what am I doing spelling Lasagne with an 'e' instead of Lasagna with an 'a'? Well on the first one, I told RJ that for his birthday … [Read more...]
Biota Dining – Bowral
A few weeks back RJ and I decided we needed a break. A break from household chores and regular haunts and general weekend inertia. For Christmas he had gotten me a weekend away in Bowral and late February was a perfect opportunity to cash it in before the Southern Highlands moved firmly into colder weather. Before we went I of course asked Twitter about recommendations for food - brunch to be exact - Laura recommended Biota Dining. In looking at the website I couldn't see a brunch listing … [Read more...]
