Summer is so much fun when it comes to food. I love light, fresh and healthy food that doesn’t compromise on flavour and summer definitely allows that. This is a sensational summer salad is perfectly balanced with sweet, tart, creamy, and the fresh clean taste of the pesto oil. This would go well with anything, […]
My mouth is watering again just writing this post. We had this Jambalaya on Friday night and it was the best one yet! The diet and portion control rules I was trying to stick to literally went out the window. I had three helpings of this. Three!!! So Cajun/Creole is definitely my favourite of all […]
So it’s that time of year, New Year’s Resolution time, and for most of us it’s the time we make the pledge to slim down and become fitter and healthier. It’s a time when we feel fat and bloated from the Christmas festivities and therefore highly motivated, like nothing can stop us, like it’s really […]
And so it begins, another year. Christmas trees have come down, the fridge no longer tells tales of a festive feast, the carols have stopped and the hot cross buns are baking. January is always a sad time for me. It’s a swift kick back into reality, back to work, early mornings and working out. […]
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! Hope you all savour a well earned break from work, enjoy time with family and friends and of course, eat more than should be possible. Thank you all for following Eatin' Mess, hope you have tried some of my recipes and have enjoyed my amateur photography and haphazard ramblings. Laura x
I got really excited coming into the Silly Season, I had grand plans for posts of homemade food gifts and fabulous festive fare… didn’t quite get there. For some reason this December has just flown by. Between work, Christmas parties, my birthday, this horrible heat wave and probably just being a bit lazy, I haven’t […]
Despite what people like to think, LA isn’t the tacky, dirty, cultureless town full of boring plastic people. Sure, it is a bit dirty, and there is definitely a lot of people filled with a lot of plastic but LA is actually a really cool place. Described as ‘ultra-hip’ and ‘ultra-happening’, which I completely agree […]
You know how I said I was the most forgetful person in the world. Well, I wasn’t kidding! There is a bit of a family history with the Kellys that when it comes to cooking, we seem to lose our minds. Whether it’s forgetting about the nuts that are toasting, forgetting a vital ingredient and […]
I love Vietnamese food. It is so colourful, so fresh, so healthy. This little pickled salad is light and refreshing and makes a great addition to any Vietnamese meal. This recipe is taken from my new go to blog for delicious Vietnamese, The Ravenous Couple. Served with Momofuku Steak.
When I started this blog I thought, I love cooking, and I am kinda good at it, how hard can it be… well, it is actually kinda hard. The cooking, and of course eating is always a pleasure but getting semi creative shots during the cooking process is really quite tricky, remembering to do it […]
Pasta is definitely, hands down, one of my favourite things. It is the one thing that I simply cannot resist going back for seconds, even thirds. Oops. Pasta is also a great quick and easy midweek meal. (Just in time for a weekend post, I know, sorry!) This recipe in particular, is all of that, […]
This quick and easy breakfast, lunch or dinner is truly one of life’s simple pleasures. There isn’t much to this dish but boy is it satisfying. When most people think of bruschetta they think of tomatoes, basil and balsamic, but that is just one, very popular, version. Bruschetta, pronounced bru’sketta, is an Italian antipasto dish […]
