Yes, even I was skeptical. It’s a term I don’t often use to describe myself, but in this case it’s true. If you had told me a few months ago that you could make ice cream using frozen ba...
I know a lot of people abhor the idea of celebrating Valentine’s Day. Some see it as yet another day for retailers and restaurateurs to over charge for tacky gifts, over priced chocolates and dinners...
Whenever I heard the word “papoutsakia” in Greek cooking, I would fall into mad hysterics. To anyone who doesn’t speak Greek, “papoutsakia” literally translates as littl...
A lot of friends ask me whether I eat all the food I cook on the blog. To that I always answer a resounding “yes”! I’m not sure what they think I do with it! Another question I get often, is if...
Is there anyone who doesn’t like schnitzel? (apart from vegetarians for obvious reasons!). There is something very attractive about quickly pan fried meat, coated in a shell of crispy breadcrum...
My favourite way of getting those all important omega 3′s into my diet is by eating salmon. I find it quite a versatile fish and definitely love getting creative with it. My recent blog post on...
This summer has definitely been a “mixed bag” of surprises. A few weeks ago I actually threw a light cotton blanket on the bed…that’s a first for a Sydney summer! What I have...
Summer time. It conjures up images of ice cream. Beaches. Sand. Stone fruit. Crickets chirping. And for me…tomatoes! I have always associated tomatoes with summer. There’s something about this ...
If any Greeks are looking at these pictures they will immediately recognise this as “βανιλια” or “βανιλια υποβρυχιο”. This literally translates as vanilla and vanilla submarine. In Greece, vanilla fo...
It seems that summer has finally made its grand arrival into Sydney town. Whilst, it’s not the sweltering, mad weather of last year at least the sun is shining (for now!). Yesterday I made a mad dash...
I do hope everyone is having a fantastic start to the new year. I’m in the middle of a few projects at the moment and am hoping to get out some more recipes next week. In the meantime, for this...
I hope you all had a great start to 2012. I say “let’s get straight into it”. My second last post last year , saw me attending a pre Xmas celebration where I took along a strawberry...
It’s come to that time of year again. I just wanted to say a very big “THANK YOU”. Thank you for visiting my blog. Thank you for commenting. Thank you for everything. Enjoy the hol...
It seems like my days leading to Xmas are busier than ever. I don’t know about you but just in this last week I have been to numerous “get togethers”, social engagements and restaurants. Like ...
Xmas decorations up? Check House cleaned? Check Presents all wrapped? Check Xmas menu worked out? Um…sort of. Surprisingly, for someone who cooks a lot I always have trouble deciding what to p...
I don’t think I’ve ever told you that my favourite colour is blue. It’s practically three-quarters of my wardrobe! I was obsessed with it as a child. Baby blue, sky blue, dark blu...
Last week saw me in London for a few days. No matter how many times I visit, I always enjoy my stay in this grand city. It was nice to throw on an overcoat, scarf and hat and wander around soaking al...
I think I may have a “thing” for sauces. If you scan through the archives you can find my recipe for chimichurri salsa, roasted corn salsa and walnut skordalia. What can I say? I like a good sauce to...
As a child, I would never have gone anywhere near cabbage rolls let alone cabbage. It fell into the “icky” and “yucky” group of adjectives usually spoken by kids. Perhaps it was the sulphurous aroma ...
It’s great to be posting pics again for this “Photo Friday” feature. These shots were taken on a recent trip to Singapore. When you have views like these you kind of get obsessed ...
After enjoying a lovely BBQ on a vey warm 35 deg Sydney evening (Really. Must we be tortured with this kind of weather in mid November? We have like 5 months of horrible humidity to look forward to!...
This post is an extension of the Food Styling Masterclass I recently held at the 2nd annual Australian Food and Drink Blogger’s Conference. Thank you to all who participated and thank you for ...
Time. Where did it go? I apologise for the lack of updates. I’ve been a little “busy bee”. Some photography projects have kept me occupied along with a little travelling. It’s always an ...
G’day everyone! You might find this post a little “lacking” today and that’s because I’m over at “The Leftover Queen” doing a guest post for her. I’m...
Are you ever consumed by food cravings that just won’t go away? Do you suddenly have the urge to cook things that you usually wouldn’t? I do. And depending on the complexity of the dish...
Sometimes things work in reverse. You come up with something only after you’ve experienced it a different way…Now that probably doesn’t make much sense, so I will explain. I was c...
Today marks the first day of Spring here in Australia. Whilst it’s all fine and dandy to harp on about “rejuvenation” and “reinvigoration” my sinuses think otherwise! Yes, I’m one of tho...
Many years ago I attended a cooking class, where the emphasis was on producing favourite Italian dishes at home. I’d been wanting to learn the basics of making a good risotto. A risotto that di...
Why do I feel a little guilty about purchasing “out of season” produce? Take for example these baby Roma tomatoes. In the midst of our winter, they were on display at one of the chain supermarkets. ...
My apologies for not getting out some recipes this week. I have been incredibly busy photographing for a few projects and time just slipped by. Last time, I showed you the Andes and this time I wan...
