Little egg garden…hop a long bunny!
I have been frantic, AND I have cut my finger, so suddenly my typing is all out of whack…Seriously…who knew such a little thing could create so many problems??
I have been meaning to do my own version of hot cross buns for ages…I mean basically there...
Spiced Orange Cranberry Sauce
I am a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas dining. I put it down to too many Christmasses in the USA, and to me there is nothing better than sliced turkey, gravy and lots of cranberry sauce. I am happy to eat it any time of year and often host a Christmas in July...
Slow cooked Chunky Beef Chilli in the Thermomix
I love a good Mexican beef chilli….add some corn chips and more grated cheese than is really necessary, and I’m totally yours. I am a cheap date of course at the best...
Banana Chocolate Muffins
I have been so busy that blogging has been taking a back seat…you may have noticed. I have so much on my plate literally and figuratively that life is never dull….can we talk??
New book underway, food shoot is imminent

Frozen Blueberry and Yoghurt Bites
In the feeble hope that the nice weather is here to stay (last weekend we turned our heater back on and had blankets strewn throughout the theatre room!!) I am willing summer here by prepping and eating summer style…so this is a salute to that. I’m not...
Kaffir Lime Panna Cotta pic by JulieO from FT
Well kids, its not often that I write something other than a recipe. Recipes are simple, pretty well a done deal once they have hit my table and/or stomach, and a no brainer…for me at least.
But in the scheme of things, there are a few constants...
Celery Fennel Salt
I know; Do I really need to write a recipe for celery fennel salt? Isn’t it pretty self explanatory? Don’t you just add celery, fennel and salt?
Well….yes, so not earth shaking and in fact I devoted a whole double spread to flavoured salts in my now easy to purchase book For...
Red Tamarillo Lemonade
I love Tamarillos…they cost more than they should…but my sister in law has a tree that is laden, and there is no better way than get a massive dose of vitamin C than by drinking these….and how appealing does this look??? Beautiful pic in my kitchen, overlooking my herb garden...
Maple Roasted Heirloom Tomato Salad
I love salads, and with imminent summer peeking in my window earlier and earlier each morning, I am really, truly, trying to eat more of them and less of the decadent stuff that seems to make its way with more frequency onto this blog…so if you likee, make sure...
Hazelnut Crio Biscotti
I love Biscotti. Love cantuccini as well…love plain ole twice baked bickies….you know me and the sweet tooth. These are the perfect foil for something creamy and rich and I developed this recipe to go with Crio Panna Cotta; D.I.V.I.N.E. Those Italians know their desserts, Dolce…swoon....
Tenina Hmmn, liking the sound of a licorice all sort jelly…great idea....
Lilli Hmmmm, have just been searching for a licorice ice cream after a girlfriend has made ...
Tenina Thanks Megan…(she blushes…feeling a bit porky and not at all like the poster child fo...
Megan Oh T, so glad i tried this stuff, its tasty (i do add a sachel of Natvia) but i notic...
Always crazy about food since she fed the neighborhood kids that first mud pie, (seasoned with a good dash of vegemite, a childhood Aussie fave!!) she now has a tribe of her own that she happily feeds whenever she can get them to sit down long enough. Her culinary experience ranges from Bangers ‘N Mash in London long ago…(and far far away) to attempts at Chinese banquets for her University ‘roomies’ in the USA to more recent culinary holidays to Singapore and Vietnam and now several years as a food consultant, recipe developer/writer and food eater and dreamer. Obsession can be a wonderful thing!
Ever resourceful and always hungry, and now the proud owner of a Thermomix, she can whip up a delicious storm in minutes, given half a chance. It is on her blogs that she shares her passion for food and the perfect cooking of it!
Professionally she works to bring to two major Australian Appliance companies, the best use of said appliances in the form of recipes. Always up for a personal demonstration, plans are afoot for a cooking tour in 2009, so look out for a Thermomix class near you! She can now live without her microplane for the first time in a cooking lifetime, she still can’t live without her Thermomix and she certainly can’t live without her blog comments…so make her day and leave a note!
