If you haven't yet been inundated by cloud eggs you may be living in a cave (or perhaps simply don't live on Instagram and Facebook, ahem...). But either way, even if you are familiar with them I can guarantee you've never seen a rainbow/mermaid/unicorn version until now. Unicorn smoothies and mermaid toast are all the brilliantly time-wasting, superfood powdered rage these days, so it was only logical (completely illogical) for me to take the flash in a pan cloud egg craze a ridiculous … [Read more...]
Fruit Omelette & Blueberry Muffin Croutons
No long tomes today, just bright pretty pictures. Because if I get started (really America-land? Trumpf? What the fuck are you thinking?) I may never stop, and it won't be pretty or bright. And right now there are enough dark angry things out there, so I'll refrain for the time-being from feeding the machine. If you need me I'll be hoping the words of this inspirational woman get through to the hecklers and burying my fears for the future in mounds of rainbow coloured fruit. And if … [Read more...]
Fridge Surprise Skillet Hash & 3-Steps to Becoming a Leftovers Renovation Superstar
Sit up straight, take a deep breath and repeat after me... "Leftovers" is not a dirty word,"leftovers" is not a dirty word,"LEFTOVERS" IS NOT A DIRTY WORD! Don't believe me? I'm such a fan of the sentiment that I even made a little video to prove my case. Now I do get it, leftovers are -- without a doubt -- polarising. People either love them or hate them -- and the hateful feelings are generally driven by shudder-inducing (or gag-inducing) memories of dried out, fragrant in the … [Read more...]
Spelt Angel Food Cake
Angel food cake is one of those desserts that instantly brings back memories of my childhood. Soft and fluffy, topped with berries, baked for no good reason at all (like one needs a reason to bake a cake, but you know what I mean), and cooled upside down for what seemed to be the longest.time.ever in little kid minutes. Multi-layered chocolate was the go-to that appeared at birthdays, but angel food was a cake my mother started baking when I was a baby to use up all the egg whites that … [Read more...]
Prawn Salad Sandwiches
Boxing Day 2015, 10 am J: remember those leftover prawn rolls I made on Boxing Day last year? R: YES J: well we have cucumber and eggs and creme fraiche and bread but there were no prawns at Christmas lunch yesterday… 3 pm R: how 'bout you run into the fish market to get prawns and I stay in the car. J: and this is different to any other time because...? 5 pm J: give me a minute, I want to take a few photos R: can we eat now? J: hold on R: can we eat now? J: hold on R: can … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: August 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… ------ Kitchen Shenanigans I decided one night a few weeks back that I needed to bake bread. I didn't measure, kneaded and rested randomly, and ended up with the best loaf I've made in years (wholewheat, whole spelt blend). Lunch the next day (where I took time out from … [Read more...]
Decadent Dark Chocolate Mousse
Let it be known that roughly once a week since January my husband has asked for chocolate mousse. Let it also be known that roughly once since January I week I rolled my eyes and ignored his pleas. But the man is nothing if not quick on his feet and a few weeks ago a fly on the wall overheard a conversation that went something like this... J - what kind of cake do you want for your birthday? R - can I pick anything? J - sure R - I want that chocolate mousse that my mate Manu made for … [Read more...]
