First of all I’d like to acknowledge that these pictures could be sharper. Not a great start for a professional food photographer. But in the interests of disclosure I had just cooked, cleaned ...
I have been fortunate enough to work with some pretty big talent here in New York…and one that I’m talking about today is my good friend and food stylist, Alison Attenborough. The very fi...
Every saturday we head off to our farmers market in Tribeca. It’s a small one, but it has pretty much everything we need. I can buy any vegetables I like, provided they are grown in the area (t...
Since blogs are a little indulgent, I’m going to share this with you. There’s nothing special about it, no major recipe, no major technique, and it’s certainly nothing fancy. But so...
According to Wikipedia, ANZAC Day is a ‘national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour the members of the Australian a...
I admit that this is not my own recipe, although I wish it was. I got it from Sweet Paul Magazine‘s Spring Issue, and the story was all about Easter cooking. (The article was beautifully styled...
What doesn’t go with bacon? I’ll tell you what DOES…grilled pears and maple syrup, that’s what. You see, every sunday I make pancakes for my daughter. It’s become someth...
Breakfast is my least inspired meal of the day, that’s for sure. I’ve been eating the same brand of cereal for the last 25 years and will do anything to avoid meeting friends for brunch&#...
Otherwise known as Puddle Cookies, but that’s a name I could do without. Sounds kind of twee. I am the worst baker. Maybe it’s my inability to be precise (a very necessary evil when it co...
So good I have to say it twice. With a little help from our friend Chris Daffy who makes an amazing chilli sauce called Green Chilli Elixer, these tacos are so easy and so delicious. We love corn tor...
The Mighty Mussel: easy, cheap, quick, low fat and delicious. Nothing more, nothing less. However, I realized after talking to a few friends that a lot of people are intimidated by the preparation...
Thanks to our friend and baby sitter Caroline, we have been introduced to the wonders of Swedish cooking. And since the weather has cooled somewhat, I thought it would be a good idea to post this re...
Let me help you pronounce it: Ba-booo-tee. Say it quickly, and you’ll have it! It’s a spicy, aromatic – not hot – dish made up of ground beef (or lamb, although I prefer just ...
Once my mom sent a package from South Africa to New York with my pal Randall. It was a shoebox and it was very very heavy. She said she was sending something sweet, something that she had made for us...
I had never experienced pizza on a grill until today…..while in Pennsylvania shooting a grilling cookbook with my pal Paul Lowe, aka Sweet Paul, he came up with this unbelievable combination o...
A few weeks ago I had to go to the Chelsea Market (which is a place you have to visit if you are ever in New York, and if you live in New York, you should visit it more often) , and outside the Fruit...
‘Expat’….I don’t like that word at all….I don’t know why but it conjures up images of red-faced, drunk, pale skinned people running around some exotic location lam...
It is one of my biggest fears, that a crazed gunman will burst into a room where my daughter might be, putting her in harms way and changing the course of her life. I thought this was an American mal...
I had made this salad the other day from whatever I had in my fridge….lettuce, a bit of broccoli, some tomatoes, olives and Greek Feta, the omnipresent avocado and roast chicken from the night ...
I have a thing for salmon, I really do! It’s probably one of my ‘desert island foods’…you know, when you get to list, say, 5 ingredients you would take with you should you be ...
A quick visit to the New Amsterdam Market at the South Street Seaport meant coming home with a feast. Painted Goat Rosemary Fig cheese, Sullivan Bakery Olive Loaf, Landaff Creamery Cheese, bright red...
Styled by Paul Lowe So labour intensive but so worth it! Fava beans (and I don’t mean the frozen variety) are their best around now – in the Northern hemisphere, that is. I think in South...
. Chris’s family is a melting pot all of its own – a Japanese Aunt, a Brazilian brother in law, a Mexican grand father – and it’s the Mexican side that has formed alot of Chri...
My mom is the most extraordinary cook, no doubt about it. I remember as a child the incredible dinner parties she would have – 10, 12 people at a time. I used to love waking up the morning afte...
I love artichokes. I always have. Growing up in South Africa, the season was always very short – and it happened around September or October. My mom would steam them and we’d sit by the p...
Styled by Sweet paul Last friday we went with our Swedish babysitter, Caroline, to the Midsummer Festival in Battery Park. It was originally a pagan festival which celebrated the summer solstice, but...
I love this photograph! It was taken about a year ago for a cupcake book I was working on with my friend Paul Lowe (also known as Sweet Paul.) Besides being a great food and prop stylist, Paul...
Everyone has their ‘go to’ cuisine – some people lean towards Asian food, some towards French, some love good old American. My husband always goes for Mexican inspired dishes (hot s...
On this father’s day, I’m thinking so much of my dad, who lives too far away, in Johannesburg. If there was one meal that he always made for us, it was breakfast. He would don an apron, u...
Every summer, my husband Chris makes his famous vongole – well, it’s his take on the dish and it’s always superb. He is as American as you get, and growing up in California and Mia...
