I love Christmas and I start counting down the day’s months before December. I love everything about Christmas but of course I have very fond feelings about Christmas food. I made this tart to really capture what Christmas in Australia tastes like! Cherries are in season during December in Australia and this tart uses loads […]
Pretty sure I didn’t sleep at all last night. Like one of those nights when you are sure that you didn’t even nod off, not even for a second. Well yeah, I was one of those sanity testers. Gotta love ’em. So, rather than sitting here blankly and never actually getting this post out, which I […]
December. What a glorious time of year. My birthday, Christmas, NYE and just the general loveliness of that end of the year feeling. Work slows down, the parties start up, summer is well and truly here! And, since my favourite thing is to take any day of the week and turn it into a production, the […]
A couple of weeks ago I was invited to a dinner at Pane e Vino to celebrate their nearly 20 years serving some of the best, traditional Italian in Brisbane. Now a survival of 20 years in the restaurant industry is no mean feat, and I was curious to find out just why this place had […]
So I actually really enjoy sausages. Generally I think sausages have a bit of a bad rep. Not just because they are a bit of an inappropriate looking food item, which is, I think, why subconsciously I choose to photograph these coiled up. But, I guess when someone says “We are having sausages for dinner”, it doesn’t really […]
Life. Has. Been. Hectic! Work is busy. Eatin Mess is busy. Life is busy. Oh and PS. its Christmas, like, in a minute!!! To give you an idea of the chaos I am currently living… this post is about, oh, three different things all tied into one. And just for good measure, a bit of classic […]
Dad has bought a sous vide machine. And dad is now obsessed with sous vide’ing everything. Like everything! So, since I had not posted anything for the red blooded male in a while, and since anything from an animal didn’t have a chance of hitting our plates unless it was sous vide. I made you […]
We spoke a couple of weeks ago about my cauliflower obsession. Well, it’s still going strong! And this recipe is possibly my favourite way to eat it. I don’t know if you have ever tried Bhajis at the local Indian take away, but every time I have, it ain’t been pretty! For some reason they […]
Much like all things edible, I don’t think I have ever met a drink I didn’t like. A woody Chardonnay, Guinness, Scotch on the rocks, Sake. You could literally buy me anything at a bar and I would drink it, and I would enjoy it. So, when I was invited to celebrate 100 years of […]
By now you probably know I am fairly big fan of the varied and exciting American cuisine. If you want to say obsessed, fine, go ahead. You are probably more accurate. But while the Cajun/Creole flavours do grace my plate at least once a week, the Muffuletta sandwich, for some reason, has never spent a […]
I have one of my best friends birthdays, and a very little black dress this Saturday night. So, naturally, this week was meant to be healthy breakfasts, green smoothie lunches and portioned controlled dinners. Yeah. No. Didn’t happen. As always, my one true love got the better of me. Food won. So while I do squats […]
I am sorry. This post is so simple it’s hardly worth blogging. Put cauliflower in the oven, and that is about the extent of it. But, its just so good! I am literally obsessed with cauliflower at the moment. Roasted, mashed, as ‘rice’, or a base for ‘alfredo’ pasta sauce. Even for tonight’s Indian feast, […]
