Cooked Honey Mayo (front) and Fresh Ranch Dressing (rear)
With all this hot weather, I confess I can really only cope with throwing a salad together, grilling or BBQ-ing some chook or beef and with occasional bread of some description thrown in (because bread IS the staff of life after all!) and is...
Mushroom Pizza!
I went to the markets recently and couldn’t help myself…they had the most amazingly huge field mushrooms ever seen. I personally love mushrooms, but the family could take them or leave them. What they DO love is pizza, so that is where this idea originated. Quicker than a...
P8...Eight Flavours Pesto Pasta Salad
Now it is the pasta itself that has eight flavours…and if Adriano can call his amazing one flavoured Vanilla Thriller a V8, then I figure I can call this the P8 as I’m guessing the salad has a whole lot more flavours than eight, (given the pasta has its...
Brie, Pesto and Potato Galette
Quick midweek dinner, great brunch option or just nice lunch with a fresh salad and crusty bread. As usual, I bake, I photograph, I blog! From my home to yours, feel free to adapt this with any toppings of choice, throw in a different pesto, use walnuts, almonds, or seeds...
Macadamia Parmesan Pastry base
Oven Ready Chorizo Pesto Flan
Two tart posts in a row (almost)?? And chorizo…sorry guys, but I ate something similar at a cafe recently and as usual, figured I could improve it!
Just a word, well a rant actually. I know I appear to happily write away to myself, churning...
Now I know a lot of people think I talk drizzle, but on this occasion, I’m not referring to a weather pattern, a grumpy child or something you should really see a doctor about, but those amazing little additions to certain dishes that just seem to add pizazz and a little flair. Have you ever...
Absolutely nothing is better for morning tea on a coolish morning (after so much heat) than some nice savoury scones with a pizza filling. (All you Americans read ‘biscuits’ for scones!) My cream cheese scone dough is of course, supreme and so there you have the perfect pairing…so what...
This recipe is so beautiful to look at that I always recommend it as a part of a dinner party menu. Make sure you use a good variety of colors in your veggie choice and you can’t go wrong…and as for flavour! Well, it goes without saying, this is DIVINE! You can serve individually or use a...
Hey Pesto!
Pesto is so great for so many things. It has a bright fresh Italian flavour and is excellent with all types of pasta, even on it’s own! Fresh is always best and so the recipe here! Toss through freshly cooked pasta, use as a pizza topping, in my recipe Pizza Scrolls, as a stuffing...
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!
