In true Queensland style, yesterday was literally like someone flicked the ‘season switch’ and it was bright and sunny and warm. Good bye winter, hello Spring! While half of me is excited, open toed shoes, long weekends up the coast and cold seafood. The other half is not. Bikini body nowhere near ready, dreading the […]
Well apparently things are not only bigger, but also better in Texas! And this potato salad is the best! Quick, easy and super tasty, this salad is perfect as a week night side, or when you need to take something to a BBQ this summer.
The variations are endless, but, does it get any better than fried chicken… ? I think not! In fact, I think fried is actually the only way I really enjoy chicken. I never order chicken at a restaurant, I do not enjoy a dry, bland old breast (ick, gives me nightmares about the ‘clean eating’ […]
Some things are best left to the professionals. I have no problem admitting that some things I have tried my hand at, have absolutely not worked out. Sometimes letting someone with the skills and proper equipment produce what I need, is okay. I used to think bread was one of these things… not anymore. This […]
Ah blogging. Such an art. An art that I am still acquiring the skills for! When I thought, ‘yeah, I could do a blog’. ‘I mean, I cook every day, the food is pretty delicious and ‘home cook’ friendly, all I have to do is snap a few action shots during the cooking/plating process, how […]
What are my two favourite things… creativity and stealing. (which, is almost an oxymoron, but, whatever!) I am such a thief! The sambal in this recipe has been stolen and recreated by me, from Ms G’s in Sydney. I have already raved about how absolutely mind blowing that Barramundi dish was and so, since then, as I […]
Well its been a little while since I have blogged a Gourmet Traveller never fail. And if there was one never fail, to end all never fails… it’s this Indian curry! We have this at least one Friday night a month and it is perfect. Every. Single. Time. While it can be a bit of […]
With my sister being a vegetarian, well actually, pescatarian, she does eat fish and seafood, thank goodness, we do eat a lot of vegetarian meals. A few times a week the rest of the family join Liz in her quest for animal welfare and an end to factory farming and the inhumane processes of getting […]
In the wise words of Jerry Seinfeld “Cinnamon takes a back seat to no babka!” and I think Jerry would be mighty happy with this Cinnamon and Chocolate Babka. Best of both worlds. A bit like a brioche cake with a delicious chocolate swirl and sweet crumble on top, Babka is the perfect thing for […]
So I think I have just found the best way to cook… just about anything! At our local Sunday markets I discovered these amazing pizza ovens. These ovens grabbed my eye immediately as they were big, bold and looked well made. Almost a work of art! However, after talking to the stall owner, and learning […]
An olive oil based pasta is my favourite kind. So simple, so easy and so tasty! Perfect for a week night dinner or a lunch in the sun with a glass of Chardonnay. You should definitely have this before summer signs off.
You know when you go over to Nannas and there is a shortlist of things that you want her to cook during your visit… well Prickla is always at the top of my list. Nannas macaroni for dinner and prickla for dessert. That’s a damn good day in my book. Prickla is a Croatian ‘donut […]
