I have no story to tell today. My head is full, but full of lists and need-to-dos and must-dos and should-dos. The lists squeeze the stories into a tiny room with little light and a window that seems to be painted shut. The stories bang on the door every now and then, demanding attention. I appease them with tea and cookies. I'm hoping I can appease you with the same. These cookies have been percolating in my head every since they were suggested by Jackie B over on this post as … [Read more...]
Rocket, Parsley & Pepita Pesto
Necessity is the mother of invention and this pesto is the result of a last ditch rescue mission in my crisper. There are a few of those happening lately. A Spaghetti Squash - more on that later - purchased from the same stand as those tomatillos, steamed up. A couple of frozen mackerel filets, pan fried. And the pesto, blended together in the blink of an eye. Fridge surprise lunch at its best. Rocket, Parsley & Pepita Pesto Rather than letting yet another couple bunches … [Read more...]
Gluten Free Quinoa Cornbread
I've been a touch quiet 'round internet-land these past few weeks but there's been lots happening in the background... A few Dining Out posts, a few events, and a whole lot of design / editing / food photography for a new extremely fast turn around project has meant that this is not only the first recipe post in two weeks but the first thing I've cooked and photographed for my own purposes since those Almond Croissant Makeover treats. Phew. Of course that meant I not only tackled one … [Read more...]
Almond Croissants – the makeover edition
I once read in a book that there is no such thing as a coincidence. The story went that when something or someone repeatedly crossed your path there was a cosmic reason behind it. The author continued on to explain that you should not just dismiss these occurrences as coincidence, but actively pursue them to determine how it could change the path of your life. Of course the people in this book, if I remember correctly, could also see energy and eventually crossed into another astral … [Read more...]
Quinoa Fried Rice
A twist on a classic, a fridge surprise, leftover magic... Call it what you will this creation is one of my favourite ways to use quinoa. Truth be told it's one of my favourite ways to use pretty much anything. Clearing out the crisper has been quite a trend round these parts lately and it's bound to continue. The good thing about re-inventing leftovers is that they cease to be tired and simply become an entirely new meal. How terribly convenient. Tell me, what is your top tip to … [Read more...]
White Winter Soup
The good news is I don't have pleurisy. While the thought lives just fine on it's own as a daily positive affirmation statement it may be best if explain a bit further... First some background, I am not a fan of doctors [sorry doctors], hospitals freak me out and I am not one prone to hypochondria. The last time I was in a hospital was 11-ish years ago and in general I am one of those people who will soak gushing kitchen injuries in salt water and bandage with a tight band-aid before ever … [Read more...]
Passionfruit & Orange Sorbet
We added another doona onto the bed the other night. The heater in the lounge room is getting a workout - as is the power bill I'm sure. I pretty much live in an ancient cashmere jumper and occasionally layer it with a puffy down vest. I haven't taken off my Ugg boots in days. Can you tell I don't do winter very well? So why on earth am I making sorbet? Well it uses the best of local NSW winter citrus, and not quite as local Queensland winter passionfruit to create an instant tropical … [Read more...]
