As a part of a Seinfeld themed cooking club, my friends and I recently tried making homemade Snickers bars. We worked off an American recipe, so it needed to be tweaked slightly so we could tackle it in Oz. Here is the Aussie’d version. Ingredients: 600g of milk chocolate for coating 50g butter 1/2 cup condensed […]

I really enjoy cooking. It can be such a relaxing way to spend an afternoon, pottering around the kitchen, trying out a new recipe. And I don’t profess to be brilliant at it, but I very much like to try. And what do they say about practise? It makes perfect or something? So when Belmont […]

One of my favourite dishes that my dad made for me when I grew up was steak tartare. Usually for a weekend lunch, he’d serve it on super fresh rye bread (sometimes with caraway) with sliced pickle (preferably Poski Olgorkie) and I just loved it. I had never tried to make it myself though. Hard to […]

I’m not sure where it was I first tried gozleme. I think it was either at the Freo Markets or the Subi Markets. I have vague memories of literally being drawn to the delicious aroma of the fragrant minced lamb sizzling away before it was sandwiched between a light pastry case and fried to a crispy perfection. Since that […]

They came, they saw, they cooked up a storm! The four eager finalists from Perth and Surrounds, Great Southern, Southern Forrests and the Gascoyne gathered at the Perth Cultural Centre on Monday, WA Day for the Buy West Eat Best’s inaugural WA’s Signature Dish competition. There was a more than decent crowd in attendance, listening […]

Recently I waxed lyrical about the sublime delight that is Pemberton Finger Limes. So if you’d seen that you can appreciate that I’m a pretty big fan of these zesty spherical wonders. So it was wonderful to recently head along to the Terrace Hotel to see them showcase this WA treasure in a series of […]

A lovely lady I know was soon having a birthday and had recently taken to raw desserts so I wanted to whip her up something raw for a dinner party we were both attending and I was on dessert. So the challenge was on so it was quick to the internet! I found a very […]

I recently came home from food shopping and listed a few meals to GG that we could have for lunch or dinner over the next few nights. I mentioned a Roast Veggie Frittata but GG didn’t seem to like the idea too much because it was a meatless option. That’s when I told him I […]

West Australian lamb is amazing. I’ve cooked up lamb chops and cutlets many a time, but recently I decided it was time for my lamb roasting debut. I’d roasted pork, beef and chook before but never gotten around to lamb – clearly an oversight! But with my family coming around for lunch recently it was […]

I love sausage rolls. They are a delicious pastry wonder. Add tomato sauce and forget about it – just perfection! But I’ve never made them at home. But I thought the time was right to give them a red hot go. A wee while back I had ordered a magic box of beef from Hampshire Grass […]
