Its been three months since my beautiful friend, Peta, moved to France. Peta is a true gem, shes kind, ever generous, energetic and fun, as well as being incredibly adept at offering good advice. And...
Mothers Day lunch in Red Hill. Blessed with a little sunshine on this chilly day we retreated outside, warmed by woollen caps and snuggly socks, and gathered around the burner. Dad cooked us lunch, I...
You know those combinations are just a little too fantastic, too opposing or too absurd?...That surely they could not possibly work? Like, for example, peanut butter and chocolate? And salt...
When I was a young girl, my Mum taught me to make a chocolate cake. It was a classic chocolate cake, with a basic cocoa/icing sugar frosting. It was simple, yes, but it was also relentlessly sat...
Small, curved beauties punctured with soulful, soft, plump fruit. Happily dense and joyfully rustic. With a sweet little coating to finish. These buns truly are beautiful. Theyre not like regul...
My mum is not really a breakfast gal. Shell have a small amount of muesli and yoghurt maybe. Or a slice of toast with vegemite. She wont say no to a good brunch on the weekend, with eggs and a little...
Ive got a thing for nut butter and jam. Its pretty serious. I say "nut butter" (rather than good old "peanut butter") as I dont discriminate - Im all about almond butter love too. And...
Saturday and Sunday. Two simple days that encourage so much happiness and dreaming and promise...promise of future deliciousness. Inspiration comes keenly on the weekend. Currently Im fuelled by thou...
Ive found myself feeling terribly affectionate towards Autumn this year. The air is completely crisp all day long, with just a touch of faint sunshine warming the underlying chill. Assuming youre wea...
You made apple and quince pancakes with quinoa flour for breakfast. That recipe needs tweaking but it was fancy enough to satisfy your need for weekend food pizzaz. You just did your weekly grocery s...
Im feeling a touch nostalgic today, just letting you know up front... So maybe settle in with a cup of tea and indulge me a while. There are crêpes at the end of it all, I promise. Recently I stumble...
Well isnt this a slice of loveliness, having a day off mid-week? How will you be spending Anzac Day? Regardless of your views on our involvement in wars (past and present), I feel its important to ho...
A little lunch for two one Sunday afternoon.... Not a nutritionally sound meal, no. But after eggs, avocado and sourdough for breakfast it kind of felt right, like it somewhat balanced out. So o...
A celebration of togetherness calls for gastronomic decoration. Thats how it goes in our household. It always has. More so, recently. When you lose a loved one, youre drawn to that which brings you c...
Ben and I are in that blissful, post-wedding, "Im so happy I cant stand it" phase, where our future seems limitless and everything is just amazing (everything...even mundane things). All our ...
If I were a more organised food blogger I would have made these weeks ago and informed you of my reverence for them, so that you too could delight in these fresh homemade, home kneaded, home moulded,...
A walk in the park to awaken my slumbering muscles... ..... Breakfast with friends at Proud Mary. A double date. My Latte. Bens Affogato. Nicks Spearmint Milkshake. Old school. My fresh Vegetable Jui...
Lets back track a month or so, shall we? The week before my Wedding we had a little Kitchen Tea in Red Hill. It wasnt a traditional Kitchen Tea in the sense that I was not showered with gifts for my ...
I live with a cabbage lover. Its true. Not often does one come across a cabbage lover. Theyre a mysterious breed. Ever since first visiting Baan Dada and experiencing the beauty that is the mothers w...
We kicked off last Friday night in style...homely, comforting, unembellished style. It was nothing fancy. There was wine and olive bread, sausages and sauerkraut. And family. Not having to be switche...
Yes, you read that correctly. Dark Chocolate Porridge with Raspberries. One lazy Sunday afternoon, propped up by a generous array of pillows, I spent a lovely lazy hour lying on my bed. The soft tune...
Thank you, dearly, for all your lovely comments on my Wedding post. I feel so loved up right now, its all a bit much. I am incredibly touched, there were so many sweet compliments about our day. I am...
On Saturday 25th February 2012 I married my man. It was the most beautiful day of my life. I felt like I was floating on soft love clouds, happily coddled by endless smiles, warm affection and well-w...
During the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, weve been lucky enough to have the Greenhouse by Joost structure sitting pretty on Southbank. This all-encompassing green, sustainable space is really spe...
Hello there, lovelies. I know youre keen for me to show you pictures of my Wedding day last month, and I just absolutely adore your enthusiasm, it really warms my heart and makes me want to jump with...
No Wedding pictures yet, I’m afraid. I dont mean to be such a tease, I swear. Its just that I’m still finalising my selection - a difficult task, as I love them all. And as keen as I am to share our ...
Firstly, thank you so much for all your gorgeous, happy comments on my last post. Our wedding was perfect. I did indeed dance and feast and laugh and cry. I had the best day. I am now a wife. And I h...
Today Im marrying my high school sweetheart.Well celebrate our rosy rapture with family and friends, and well drink and feast together into the night. And there, in my pretty dress and my nanas earri...
What is cuter than a homemade popsicle, I ask you this? There are endless ingredient possibilities: berries, mango, banana, yoghurt, my mind swirls with glee at the very thought. Ive been crushing on...
Weekends are all about delectable eats. Well, thats how I roll, at least. Breakfasts are no longer a solo affair, lunches are lazy and extended, and there are endless opportunities for dinner date de...
