Its no secret that I loooove cheese. I could spend an hour in front of the epic wall of cheese at Harris Farm. You may have noticed that I dont often do savoury recipes here, but be sure that when I ...
I have such a love/hate relationship with restaurants that dont take bookings. When we were in Melbourne earlier this year, Chin Chin was high on the to eat list. I knew wed have to arrive early but ...
Im smiling as I write this post, thinking about what a great time I had in Perth over the Easter long weekend. The weather was just stunning, the mood was relaxed (yay holidays!) and I got to h...
If I were to pick my favourite ingredients to bake with, it would be a tough choice for sure, but tea (and booze!) would be right up there near the top. Every time I make something with Chai, Matcha ...
Fish are friends and food, the menus proclaim at Merivale’s newest venue The Fish Shop, situated where Lotus used to be in Potts Point. Inspired by those idyllic seaside towns of yesteryear with a no...
It’s a fairly big claim to release a book entitled ‘Best-ever Baking Recipes’ but I think a collection of simple, reliable and delicious baked treats is essential for every home cook. London-based fo...
When I got home from Perth, there was a gorgeous and unexpected surprise waiting for me at home - a beautiful basket of passionfruit, sent by the lovely folks at Impact Communication. While I love pa...
I was pretty excited when Melissa from Best Friends for Frosting asked me if Id like to contribute a guest post to her fabulous site, so I immediately said yes! The hardest part was actually choosing...
My boyfriend has called me a Nanna on my occasions. Sure, I like to potter around the kitchen much more than I like to be doing, well, almost anything else. I have quite an epic collection of vintage...
I love the idea of transforming classic sweets into a completely different form, and these days my choice of form seems to be doughnuts. After my Lamington Doughnuts were such a success for Australia...
It’s my sister Beth’s 19th birthday today, which of course makes me feel very old. I’ve mentioned before what an amazing, smart, beautiful girl she is, but she’s going to have to listen to me say it ...
I am not quite myself without a cup of strong, sweet black coffee in the morning. Although I have quite the addiction to T2 tea as well, coffee will always be my first love. My affection for coffee d...
I’ve had a long-standing fascination with Key Lime Pie, since the very first time I saw it in a recipe magazine when I was young. But I had never tried it, let alone baked it until now! I always thou...
As I mentioned in my previous post, the work/life balance has been eluding me a little of late – too much work, not enough life! What do you do when you’re feeling a little mentally fried? I try to s...
Friends, it’s been a lonnnng week. Work has been rather hectic, I can feel the beginnings of a cold starting to sap my energy, and let’s not even start on the weather Sydney’s been having! But you kn...
I have a new favourite restaurant.Unfortunately for me, it’s in Melbourne, because the Newmarket Hotel in St Kilda would be one place I’d love to have in my neighbourhood. On a quick weekend trip wit...
I would be in a world of trouble if someone asked me to name my favourite fruit. Could I do a top 10 perhaps? Dont tell the peaches and the strawberries but figs are right up there. I look forward to...
“We have to go there!” my cousin Ros exclaimed upon reading a review of Barrio Chino. I had been meaning to check out the new Mexican place that had opened up around the corner from my office so imme...
Just consider this blog an ode to how much I love summer fruit. I’ve resolved to make as many delicious things as I possible can with my favourites before the season is over, and so far that has incl...
I’ve always thought of plums as more of an autumn fruit than a summer one, but with this uncharacteristically cool and wet summer that we’ve been having, this sort of dessert has never seemed more ap...
I’m not sure why it has taken so long for me to write this post, considering this was actually my birthday dinner with two of my favourite people, Steve and Denéa. Yes, this was June last year! Since...
It’s been a long, long time since I last made cupcakes, but I’ve had them on the brain lately and it seemed like the perfect time to make some. They had to be chocolate, of course, but the choice of ...
It’s just not summer without delicious, juicy stone fruit. Peaches are one of my ultimate favourites, and they have been especially beautiful this year. There are so many interesting things you can d...
Given that today is Australia Day, I wanted to make something suitably patriotic to celebrate. I wanted to have a bit of fun, with a twist on a classic Australian icon, and given my predilection towa...
Wahhooooo! It’s a momentous day, because Perth finally has a good Mexican restaurant! After visiting a couple of disappointing places over the last few years serving inauthentic grease-laden slop, La...
Isnt it funny how your tastes change over the years? As a child I wouldnt go near mushrooms, eggplant, pumpkin, seafood, and many more things I now find delicious. Lychees were definitely in the no w...
I was going to wait until next week to post these, but I just couldn’t. I’m pretty excited about these little babies! I had the idea to turn the beloved summer dessert Strawberry Shortcake into a mac...
I’ve been thinking a lot about resolutions lately, I guess it comes with the territory in the first few weeks of January. I get the feeling that 2012 will be a year filled with big changes, big adven...
If I were forced to choose only one kind of sweet to make for the rest of my life, it would have to be gorgeous, rustic, Southern-style fruit desserts. From pies to crisps, buckles to slumps, I am in...
I can’t believe we’re already at the end of another year. I know I must sound like a broken record going on about how time flies, but 2011 went by especially fast! In many ways it was a challenging y...
