Sometimes the best things in life are the most simple and some of the best dishes are the ones with few ingredients. You don’t always need to slave over a hot stove for hours or need a shopping list as long as your arm to make something delicious. This rule of few ingredients is a […]
Last Wednesday night I was lucky enough to be invited to the Australian Premier of Cavalia: A Magical Encounter Between Human and Horse, and it was absolutely magical. Being an animal lover, to see the horses in a production like this was really special. The show celebrates the history of the bond between human and horse and […]
So, I can’t concentrate on anything this week. I am working from a different location and my level of motivation is so low it’s nearly impossible to get on with anything! I have that feeling when you only have a few days left of work before you go on holidays… but there are no holidays […]
Ok so these photos aren’t the sexiest. And I suppose a tuna sandwich is hard to make look sexy, and a quick Google Images of ‘tuna sandwich’ has confirmed it. Now, you know my signature move in the kitchen is the ‘part whaz’, blending half the sauce and leaving the other half chunky and combining […]
I am so looking forward to the weekend. We are only a matter of hours away. Doesn’t it feel glorious! Unless you work on the weekends, in which case, my condolences. The Friday blog post is usually my last order of business on a Friday afternoon. Once this is done, the pressure is off and […]
I have just returned from a lovely, although wet, long weekend at Noosa. As bush walks and kayaking in torrential rain were out of the question, the weekend soon turned to a relaxing, eating and drinking marathon and quite frankly, it was perfect! Which I suppose, if I’m being honest, would have happen anyway, rain, […]
This is another dish that reminds me of my childhood. A classic plain tomato sauce on some al dente penne, perfect. This was a regular in our house growing up and my mum makes the best pasta sauce. One day we were eating at a cafe in Manly and my sister, all of 5 years […]
If there is one food that reminds me of my childhood it would have to be BBQ pork spare ribs. When my parents arrived back from a couple of years living and travelling around North America, they settled on the northern beaches of Sydney and it was there that they started the fast-food chain, The […]
So after starting the day right, a brekky shake with every high value nutritional ingredient imaginable, a morning workout and stir fried kale and tofu for lunch, I decide to end this great day with something so full of fat and calories it’s enough to make me cry if I think about it too long. […]
Well that was a scary weekend! Living in Brisbane we don’t generally expect to feel the full force of an ex-tropical cyclone, and Sydney most certainly doesn’t. Thankfully we didn’t flood, have any major trees down or lose power, and my friends and I all made it back safe and sound from a torrentially rained […]
Ok so this is probably our families favourite dish. Like if we had to pick a last meal, this would be it. But as I am blogging this, and looking at the photos I took, I really dont think I am doing this dish justice. From these photos, I do not see the best thing […]
Well it’s that time of year… public holiday time! Don’t you just love the start of the year, we have only just come back from a glorious Christmas/New Year break and they are already giving us more time off work. Nice. So the first of the public holidays is of course, Australia Day. A day […]
