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 […]
Hiya – this recipe has been in the back of my mind for ages now and I am so glad I have finally managed to make it! When you scroll down you might be a little bit freaked out at the list of ingredients, but I want to reassure you that it’s just lots of […]
