GLUTEN FREE ALMOND CRACKERS
Almond Rosemary Crackers A boring title methinks…but I have been studying good blogging habits and to my horror found I have comitted the cardinal recipe blogging sin; not naming my post correctly…being silly, in other words! This means all you search engine recipe junkies cannot find my...

NO RECIPE!

NO RECIPE!
It’s not that I didn’t cook for a few weeks, (well it kind of is), but it was also that I had an amazing couple of days in Sydney getting to know Mark Best a little…for those of you who don’t know who that is, take a gander at this! He is all that and more, I was inspired by...

THE FULL WILLY!

THE FULL WILLY!
Yes, The Full Willy! As in Willy’s Wonky Chocolate…its a long story, but after watching the amazing Willy on SBS and being totally charmed by the romance of it all, I happened to visit my sister and found that her husband had gone ahead and ordered some of Willy’s amazing chocolate...

GOURMET GIFTS MADE EASY!
White Christmas with Candied Clementines Fresh Pesto With about 3 weeks to go till ‘you know what’, now would be a good time to start planning a few gifts for special people that come from your very own kitchen. I personally love to both give and receive homemade treats particularly if they...

IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCEED; THAI THAI AGAIN!
Thai Beef Salad Sorry, its Friday afternoon at the end of a long week, and so I am not only tired, but silly to go along with it!

CHRISTMAS IS COMING…ALONG WITH THE HEAT!

CHRISTMAS IS COMING…ALONG WITH THE HEAT!
Christmas Ice Cream Torte I know that sounds crazy to my northern readers, but as the temperature starts to head into the 30′s (Celcius that is), our thoughts down under turn to Christmas, and ways to keep the feasting cool and casual, around the pool or water somewhere, somehow…what better...

FEELING CHILLI TONIGHT?
Chorizo and Lime Fajitas If it is Mexican, Thai, Italian, involves cheese, (or as you  know can be classed as dessert), I am there! This is Mexcian flavored and involves cheese, so a big scorer…plus with lovely weather, this is great for a day by the pool. I have been looking at Christmas recipes...

IN THE RAW!

IN THE RAW!
Hazelnut Brownie Slice Well folks, I have been introduced to Raw Foodism of late, and in a quest to make something delicious that meets the raw food criteria, I came across a lovely picture of a Raw Brownie, no recipe, just a pic, and I think this recipe is almost it, but perfectly awesome in it’s...

FEEDING A MASTER CHEF JUDGE! OY-VAY!

FEEDING A MASTER CHEF JUDGE! OY-VAY!
Georgie and me Chocolate Frangipane Croissant Well its official, George is a really nice Master Chef! I had the privilege of feeding him breakfast last Friday and although I have put this recipe up here before (in the deep dark recessed archives somewhere!), I persuaded myself that it was almost a Croissant...

SOUP THE MEXICAN WAY ~ VIA AUSTRALIA!

SOUP THE MEXICAN WAY ~ VIA AUSTRALIA!
Chicken and Lime Soup On my recent travels which included a pit stop in Houston, I tasted a lot of fresh, delicious Mexican food and this soup was inspired by one made by my dear friend Patti. Unable to source Hominy in Australia (not yet anyway) I played around with just fresh corn and I must say that...
