Saturday is generally beef night, it is usually a roast or a steak but last night was a beautiful piece of organic New Zealand eye fillet that would have been criminal to cook just any old way. So quick and easy, yet so decadent and impressive. What a great way to show off a beautiful […]
I know, I have a problem. I like American food far too much. The good, the bad and the ugly, I love it all! Popcorn shrimp is definitely a favourite, I love seafood, and who doesn’t love anything fried, and any excuse to eat aioli… This is perfect party food, a great snack or served […]
Mac n Cheese would have to be my favourite comfort food meal. If you are feeling down, this will definitely hit the spot like a comforting hug from mum. Sometimes that can be quickly followed by overwhelming feelings of guilt if you overindulge, which I often do. However if you have some level of self […]
Bircher muesli is one of my favourite ways to start the day, however, I never order it when eating out for breakfast. I am more of a savoury girl and the thought of missing some deliciously different and experimental savoury brekkie number is too much to bear. So it seems the perfect time to enjoy […]
Aioli is something that I make more often than not. It is so easy, so tasty and so worth the little bit of effort. It will also keep for about a week if stored it an airtight container. Aiolis are good for just about everything and can be tailored to whatever dish you are having. […]
A perfect salad for any Southern meal. The candied pecans are a little bit naught but so yummy. And the oranges give a burst of freshness to any meal.
I love Southern food. So tasty, so simple, so America. Ground corn is a staple in the American diet and has been since long before the European explorers arrived. Corn and corn products were used for everything from food to liquor and household items. Hush Puppies are classic corn menu item and are a sort of savoury, […]
All summer I look forward to winter. After what feels like an eternity of a Queensland summer I am over it, ready for some normal temps, sick of breaking out in a sweat just sitting still. I want to be back in blazers, boots and scarves. So just when you think I would be thrilled […]
I have been sick this week and so all I have really felt like is soup. There is something about the hot broth that feels a bit like a comforting home remedy to make me better. Now while I did not miraculously heal overnight, I did thoroughly enjoy this West African Soup/Curry number. It was originally a […]
I can’t understand people who don’t like sweet things. It’s just a bizarre concept, sure, I know I am strange needing to end on savoury post dessert but not liking sweets at all, well that’s just plain crazy! So for all those that are not sweet tooths… you will HATE this. However for those who […]
It seems every time I make a curry paste, no matter where the recipe is from, it’s just not intense enough. I always end up having to make another batch of paste half way through as the curry is too bland. But not this time! This delicious curry from my favourite recipe source Gourmet Traveller […]
