Look I have to say I’m usually not keen when food bloggers start waffling on about unrelated stuff because it often seems A. self important B. boring C. wtf? But I’m just quickly throwing these up as I went for a walk today and started noticing how pretty all the weeds are…maybe I shouldn’t be […]
I love my job – especially on days when I get to photograph (and eat) things like this! This is a recipe I developed for Fairfax and it is exactly the kind of thing I love to cook at home – the combination of earthy lentils, sweet onions, figs and beetroot with salty feta, cumin-spiced […]
OK so I have been going to hot yoga lately, and really enjoying it – sweating like a pig and generally feeling full of peace, tranquility and the milk of human kindness. (It’s been almost 4 years since I sold my personal training business, and let me tell you cooking and photographing food all day […]
I don’t know what to say other than a huge thank you for visiting – the blog has just hit one million views and I can’t quite believe it! It gives me so much pleasure writing recipes, styling and photographing – but even more to know that you are stopping by to have a look… […]
Hello Valentines! Well this time last year I was writing up my recipe for Espresso Your Love Chocolate Mousse and bemoaning the fact that Nick would be in Chicago for Valentines Day – this year he’ll be in China! Ah well – at least we got to share some of this cheesecake before he left! […]
OK, so my last two posts were a soup (albeit a very fresh and bright soup) and lasagne to warm up my northern hemisphere friends. Today we’re back in the southern hemisphere with a super summer salad that I made for Fairfax to share. This is pretty much summer on a plate, perfect for the […]
This is a recipe that I originally posted eons ago and thought it was time for an up-date. Banana bread has got to be one of the most comforting things to eat, and this one has the added bonus of a good helping of oaty fibre, and a liberal sprinkling of cinnamon sugar on […]
Last Saturday Nick and I made dinner together (a rare occurrence indeed, but on the the ‘to-do more regularly’ list) delicious braised lentils with fish and salsa verde. It was so good I immediately became re-addicted to lentils, so much so that I made up this recipe as a way of being able to enjoy […]
You may be looking at this salad thinking well that’s a bit boring, but I urge you to look again…see that crumbled feta, the baby herb leaves, the crumbled walnuts, the drizzle of simple dressing, the thin slices of radish – now imagine a mouthful with everything – the salty soft feta, the bitter leaves, […]
Well by crikey, as we count down to New Year’s eve I’ve been thinking about what a big year it’s been! I have had the most enormous amount of pleasure dreaming up recipes, cooking and photographing, and sharing them with you. I love the whole evolutionary process as I experiment with styles and techniques – […]
Thank you to all of you who pop in and take a look at the recipes here – and especially to those of you who leave comments here or on Facebook, I really appreciate it 🙂 800,000 views I can hardly believe it! I really hope you enjoy the recipes, and plan on bringing you […]
Hi there! Well it’s a weird feeling being back from my travels, with loads of work to get on with, and the annoying wait for my mole biopsy results to come through. To divert myself, I refuse to work today (goddam it- it’s Saturday!) and instead I am going to photograph a recipe that I […]
Hiya – I just thought I’d give you a l’il update on my adventures. Remember that Savouring Australia trip I had with Tourism Australia a while back? Well it turns out I am heading back across the ditch, and this time, oh, my, God – the gala Invite the World to Dinner event I am […]
Well that’s it, I’m breaking out the party hats – the blog has just hit 700,000 views. Not much for some I’m sure, but for me (and From the Kitchen) – it’s EPIC! Thank you so much to all of you for visiting, and for so often leaving lovely comments about the recipes – I […]
