simple and delicious food for any event.
There is something about these colder months that makes lunch a bit tricky…salads just don’t cut it like they do when the sun is shining. Growing up, I was always the only sausage roll eater when everyone else in my family opted for pies…the middle child, the black sheep who prefers sausage rolls. These days […]
Life has been busy between over the last few months which is why I’m only just getting around to writing about some of the food of South America from my trip back in August! You can’t talk about food in South America without mentioning the humble empanada. Every country seems to have their own variation […]
I love chai and I love cheesecake. Put them together and you have a winner. I found this deliciously naughty recipe in the donna hay mag from a couple of months ago and now that it’s getting into chilly autumn days i think the spices in this chai spiced cheesecake make it fit right in. Perfect for an […]
A couple of weeks ago I scored a great deal on strawberries…so suddenly I had 5kg of strawberries to use quickly. What to make? After plowing through many options I finally decided on my two front-runners….strawberry & vanilla jam, followed closely by strawberry & cointreau sorbet. I’ve never made jam of any description before but it’s […]
So this is a semplice ma delizioso (simple but delicious) recipe straight out of this month’s delicious mag…the Italian issue. Guest chef Marie Zarro shares a few recipes from her time living and working in Tuscany (tough life). I always love getting my many food magazine subscriptions in the mail…if only I had time to cook […]
Now that summer is well and truly here and Sydney is currently experiencing its hottest day EVER…food needs to be light, bright and easy. That is exactly what this pretty little morsel is…light, bright, easy and super tasty. The gorgeous bright green of the baby peas and the fresh hint of mint & zesty lemon on a […]
For me there is nothing that feels more like Christmas in summer than an amazingly bright pink summer pudding. I’ve never been a huge fan of the traditional Christmas pudding except for the pennies my grandma always put in her puddings. I think for me and most of my cousins we only ever ate the […]
I’ve always been partial to a big dip into some good old home-made hummus, a staple in my nibbles repertoire. Then the other day I sampled a deliciously zingy & punchy black bean hummus that was being created for a soon to be launched Mexican fine dining restaurant in Sydney (you heard it here first), […]
I love a good cupcake, and a red velvet cupcake with its delicious cream cheese icing is always a winner for me. I never really used to get that into making sweets and desserts but now I find that they are often the most fun to make, especially when it comes to decorating and making them look pretty, […]
I find that banana bread recipes are too ‘cakey’, so after lots of tweaking i found the right balance for a ‘cafe style’ banana bread that is dense, moist & tasty, and that most importantly stays together when you slice it. It’s best sliced thick and can be toasted or just fresh (or even better…fresh and […]
