When a chef, one who runs a holiday property in the country none the less, emails to ask if you want to come down to Tasmania to teach a two-day food photography and styling workshop, the only possible answer is yes. When she mentions that she'll do all the cooking, talks about stringing fairy lights through the trees for dinner and sends you photos of a possible picnic location at the end of a pier you know it's meant to be. And so it was that I found myself, a mere month after that … [Read more...]
Creamy Vegan Asparagus Soup
Not only is my brain currently as fried as the eggs I've been photographing lately, but each time this little corner of the internets has caught my eye I've avoided its accusing glare, brewed a fresh cup of tea and settled in for yet another late night. We're on the precipitance of a reasonably last minute holiday -- provided I don't disintegrate into a pile of burnt toast crumbs before we board the plane to NYC -- but it's been far too long since a new recipe has graced these pages and it's … [Read more...]
Roasted Tomato & Tuna Pasta
I've realised recently (or perhaps I've been aware of it for quite a while, ahem) that I rarely share recipes for actual meals here. Cakes and cookies are well represented as are sides and sauces and things made with bourbon, but it seems -- other than an occasional sandwich which totally counts as a complete meal -- that brunch is about as close as I get to full blown, serve to guests or family members for dinner, dishes. Given, most things I eat during the day are fridge surprise bowls, … [Read more...]
Creamy Spiced Apple-Nog (aka Vegan Egg-Nog)
Huh, well it seems that between a Pumpkin Upside-Down Cake last week and a twist on Egg-Nog this week I've unintentionally set the scene for Christmas in July. How terribly festive of me (or more appropriately what a terribly appropriate response to my perpetual complaining about how cold I am...). Maybe I should have convinced RJ to let me leave the tree up for another month. So how did I come to make a concoction named Apple-Nog (or Not-Egg-Nog as I've been affectionately calling it) … [Read more...]
Lemon, Coconut & Passionfruit Popsicles
When one makes bowls and bowls of meringue and swiss meringue buttercream for a completely insane cake, one is left with a container of egg yolks. And when one is left with a container of egg yolks one has little other option than to make lemon curd (obviously). Now I could have stopped there and eaten lemon curd on all the things for days and that would have been ok with me... But there was also an enormous bag of passionfruit on the bench from a recent media … [Read more...]
Pear, Macadamia & Coconut Baked Oatmeal
It's no secret that I'm a bit of a porridge fan. I've been known to eat it for dinner as often as I do for breakfast -- because anytime is a good time for porridge if you ask me. RJ however won't touch it with a ten-foot pole, well not in the cook-on-the-stove-eat-with-a-spoon form at least... However, I've just discovered that if I bake it into a cake-like slice, all bets are off. How very sneaky convenient. I stumbled across this fragrant pan of inspiration over on Rebekah's blog, … [Read more...]
Fruit Smash Toast
This isn't a real recipe, not really. But that doesn't make it any less perfect as an instant meal solution. You see I'm a huge fan of stuff on toast. It's a quick and easy fix for pretty much any time of day -- but that certainly doesn't mean it needs to be boring. The toast in this instance is sourdough but it could be any number of other base loaves, as gluten-full or gluten-free as you wish. The key is that it's sliced, toasted and topped -- in this instance with fruit, … [Read more...]
