I had a brilliant Australia Day this year – it was essentially a big eat fest, starting with an amazing cooked breakfast with my family in the morning. I think bacon tastes so much better done on the BBQ and the mushrooms were fairly delicious too, with a little fetta crumbled on top. These may […]

My mum’s speciality come Christmas time is an ice cream plum pudding. A delicious combination of dried fruit – sultanas, currents, raisins, cherries, apricots and slivered almonds, soaked in the spicy goodness of Norfolk Punch then stirred through vanilla ice cream – usually Peters, because well it’s a tremendously creamy and fabulous ice cream brand. […]

I found a really tasty recipe on line when I googled chewy chocolate chips and they didn’t turn out half bad and I figured they would be a tasty snack for the tourist that was on the way to stay with me. How good are chocolate bits! They were pretty tasty – and chewy – […]

Saturday was a total clur – so many little jobs to do and already the added challenge of having to wake up early and go and pick up my car from work after a glass and a half more of vino than I should have on Friday. So I managed to set off at about […]

Was great to have some cousins around and try my hand at a Christmas in July dinner. Leonards chicken lent a hand and I picked up two of their chicken mini roasts, with herb and garlic stuffing. Super easy to cook is a massive bonus. I finally got to use some of the Christmas plates […]

One of GG and my favourite purchases is the Margaret Fulton food encyclopedia, its very extensive, with hundreds and thousands of recipe ideas.

For a while now and given the recent obsession with Masterchef, GG and I have been umming and ahhing about purchasing a pasta maker. He made the decision for us last Saturday and after a trip to the Re Store he got us one. An Italian one after some help from one of the little […]

Weapons up – I was ready to cook. I’ve done garlic prawns before but I thought it might be nice if with the crusty bread on the side I also did a bruscetta salad – spanish onion, basil, tomato and olive oil with salt and pepper. My way of preparing garlic prawns I have taken […]

This is just to say thanks to Old El Paso for having tasty and easy to make Mexican meals. By just adding a few ingredients you can make a yummy dinner. Here are there chicken enchiladas, which I added a little bit too much cheese too, but they are super easy and I like them. 500grams […]

Here are some tasty treats that my mum makes, delicious mini cheesecakes, she’s a star. They use sort of like an anzac biscuit, I believe Arnott’s Butternut Snaps are my mum’s preferred choice and you put them into a tray into a hot oven for a few minutes so they get soft, then you get them out and push […]
