Lately the weather in Perth has been a little wild and wet causing me to rug up and wish for summer. Given that the warmer months are still a little way off I thought I’d inject our lives with a little “sunshine” by making something that I love to eat […]
When some of my friends first found out that I had purchased a Thermomix, they couldn’t quite believe it. They felt that I was such a “cook” that I would love the process of cooking and not want to “cheat”. I must say, I don’t feel that using the Thermomix […]
Some time ago I made a strawberry and lemon tart in my food processor. Crisp and buttery pastry, tangy smooth filling, it was the kind of dessert that both G & I love. Unfortunately it didn’t score too highly on the G scale (nor with me really) and the remainder […]
It was my Birthday a few months ago. As I get older the actual celebration of a Birthday on “the day” means a little less. However, because I have lived away from my immediate family for so long I still get very excited by receiving cards in the mail to mark the special occasion. […]
Like many other households, winter tends to be the time of year when comfort food hits our table. Dishes like curry, pasta, casserole and all those heart warming things that make you feel snug when it is cold outside. And while I love all that winter brings at times I […]
Valentine’s Day has never been something that I have celebrated. I prefer to show my special man that I love him whenever I feel like it throughout the year rather than on one particular day. I’m also very fortunate that G feels exactly the same. We both buy each […]

Desserts have always been one of my favourite things to cook and it is only in the more recent years that I have really enjoyed cooking other dishes. I also like being able to create slightly different desserts. Whether it be the shape of certain components or simply the interesting […]
Being a self confessed food and cooking addict means that I have several vices such as most pieces of obscure kitchen equipment known to man; too many cookbooks to fit on any bookshelves in existence and a substantial collection of food pornography in the form of several magazine collections. It is […]
Breakfast is one of my favourite meals and I love trying to cook different things at home as well as we when eat out. We don’t tend to eat out too often (because we think we eat well at home :)) but when we do it is often for breakfast. […]
I have always loved having friends over for dinner parties more than going out to a restaurant. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind paying someone to create delicious food and to do the washing up for me. I just like to try and create things that I think my […]
