Mt Barker Free Range Chickens are a happy bunch of chooks ‘free to do whatever they like, wherever they please’. Sounds like quite the pleasant and stress free life for a chicken. As soon as these chicks hit three weeks old they are free to roam the farm during the day – scratching in the grass, […]

On the March long weekend I got it in my head that I wanted to roast a chook for dinner. But I decided I wanted to mix it up and had a few ideas on the flavour front. So quick, quick! To the fridge and pantry it was hunting time! Ingredients I large whole chook 4 […]

When GG and I arrived back from an amazing weekend down south last Sunday I didn’t have too much enthusiasm for spending a long time in the kitchen to get our dinner ready. So I was appreciative that a special delivery from Barilla had arrived during the week. It meant that dinner would be ready in […]

This little piggy went to market, This little piggy stayed home, This little piggy had roast beef, This little piggy had none, And this little piggy cried wee wee wee all the way home   We all remember this catchy childhood rhyme and two Perth sisters have brought it to life with their business, This […]

Herb-crumbed Chicken Schnitzel on Lemon Pearl Cous […]

My wonderful bestie Mrs M recently introduced me to a incredible new dish on a visit to Lido Restaurant in Northbridge. It was so delicious. So fresh and so full of flavour! So I searched for a recipe and found one, but the one I decided to try had been sent to me by Lady […]

It was first at Easter time this year that I finally committed the time and energy to giving pulled pork a go at home. GG and I had ordered pulled pork wherever we saw it on the menu on our trip to the States last year. It is such delicious, flavoursome meat but I was […]

Not too far from home, a new café recently opened up called Cheeky Chinos. I’d seen their Facebook page and followed them on Twitter and was aware that it’s a café where dogs are welcome. Given the new addition to our household, lil’ Chablis, I kept this café in the back of my mind as […]
