CILANTR-O, CHORIZ-O, AVOCAD-O, LIME-O QUESADILL-O
Having returned from Singapore with more baggage than I left with (and I’m not talking about the check in kind), largely because I ate my way through as much food as possible in the two weeks…I am now contrite…time to pay up.  But then, I did tell you I was getting on a healthy kick…I...

CHIPS OFF THE OLD PRETZEL

CHIPS OFF THE OLD PRETZEL
You know I love a good bread recipe, and never short on food ideas, I am happy to say that I found a couple of fellow bloggers on the same wave length for these ones; Pink Parsley did an excellent recipe adapted from the now extinct Gourmet Magazine and added Jalepeno Mustard…terrific idea! But...

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...

BOATING FOOD…ALMOST

BOATING FOOD…ALMOST
Crostini with Pepper Cheese With summer virtually here, the boating season has truly begun, and never one for chips and bought dip, here is something easily prepared in advance.

THE BEST ROLLS EVER ~ just ask my niece!
Sweet Butter glazed rolls I had a lovely family dinner at mine on the weekend, enjoyed trying a few new things, something that I don’t often do in the family setting. I never cook the same thing twice at work, but at  home we have our tried and true faves. As you know I love making bread, there...

Georgie and me Chocolate Frangipane Croissant Well its official, George is a really nice Master Chef!

MENOPAUSE CRACKERS!

MENOPAUSE CRACKERS!
Go crackers! Now that could seem a little tasteless, if they weren’t so darn tasty! Full of linseed, a little Chia to chia you up, no soy, but plenty of phyto estrogens going on…and we all know how good they can taste! Crackers with no wheat as well, which as you all know is my new mantra,...

NO PAIN, ‘PAIN BRIOCHE’!

NO PAIN, ‘PAIN BRIOCHE’!
Golden Brioche Eat Me Eat Me The Love Affair I have with bread apparently should stop or at least slow down. According to an Ion Cleanse I had this last week anyway. Not sure I am completely convinced, but I have stopped eating all gluten for a week, and I must say, I have more energy, so that can’t...

TURKISH SMIRKISH
Turkish Bread with EVOO and Balsamic Well don’t say I never listen to you! SO many people have asked me to do a Turkish bread recipe, and here it is and I have to say, tasting aside, it looks fantastic, smells perfect and no doubt will be demolished shortly by the office crew with some great local...
