It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — a small snippet of those seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order… As always I’m linking up with Celia for IMK. ------ Kitchen Shenanigans Have you heard about Australia's Biggest Morning Tea? The lovely Sally and I are hosting a Virtual Morning Tea Party and we'd love you to join us in raising funds for the Cancer Council! You can find … [Read more...]
Kumquat Upside-down Tea Cake and a Virtual Morning Tea Party
Hi, thanks for popping over! Grab a cuppa and a seat, morning tea will be ready shortly. If you're located anywhere in Australia you'll know that Australia's Biggest Morning Tea is once again in full swing. And if you've been around here before you'll probably know that I've been a big supporter of the Cancer Council's annual fundraising campaign for quite a while. It's a cause pretty close to my heart. The event, held throughout May and June each year, puts Australia's morning tea … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: May 2015
It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — a small snippet of those seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order... As always I’m linking up with Celia for IMK. ------ Kitchen Shenanigans & Food Finds A much belated display of the edible goodies that actually came home with us from Japan. Chilli and tea (because I ate the Meiji dark chocolate on the plane) should tell you all you … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: April 2015
It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month -- a small snippet of those seen over on Instagram --- in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order... However this time it's a bit more not in my kitchen than usual due to short but brilliant trip RJ and I took to Japan during the last two weeks of March. Theoretically one day I'll blog the trip but in the meantime there are a few food-related bits and pieces below and … [Read more...]
Socially Conscious Holiday Gift Guide 2014

Hopefully you'll come away from the experience feeling a bit more festive as well. 1.

Apple & Cinnamon Breakfast Cookies {GF, DF}
My husband has this thing about breakfast. He has to eat something that by his definition is breakfast-y, before diving into anything remotely lunch related. Even on days when we laze in bed until the clock shows double digits and don't make it to a cafe until well after mid-day, he always orders eggs or another Western-style breakfast food. In the same vein, breakfast for dinner was a difficult sell for many years too -- although these days French Toast and various egg creations appear more … [Read more...]
Green Herb Pesto & In My Kitchen: April 2014
If you haven't noticed I'm rather prolific over on Instagram... ahem, and therefore each time I pull together a list for In My Kitchen I simply scroll back through photos shared since the last post to work out what's been going on. There is a bit of a method to the madness, even if the resulting collections appear as slightly randomly grouped items all in one place. That said my life is slightly random when put all in one place, so it fits. Anyway, it's once again time to link up with Celia … [Read more...]
