For the love of food
I know it’s been a little while since my last garden update. I’m ashamed to say that’s because the garden has taken a bit of a back seat to the wedding in the last few months. I do have a few plants still soldiering on. The first plant I can’t take credit for. My tomato [...]
I can’t quite believe that this is my last In My Kitchen post before I’m a married woman. That’s right, May’s In My Kitchen will be brought to you by a wife (can you tell I’m getting a little bit excited?). This month I have a lot to share. My wonderful bridesmaids threw me a [...]
Call me crazy but I really love hosting parties from a little intimate dinner to a 20-30 people baby shower. As long as I’m organised, I’m pretty good at staying stress free and pulling it off smoothly. It’s when I’m without a plan that I tend to break down in a stress heap that involves [...]
Yesterday I was out running for the first time this year when I ran across and overturned scratch-it discarded on the ground. I kept running but as I ran a little voice crept into my head ‘what if it was a winner and you just passed $100,000?’ I turned back. It wasn’t a winner but [...]
Ok so I can’t quite be silent about this photo. I saw George and Gary at the Good Food and Wine show on Friday (I’ll write about it soon) and then last night I was having dinner with mum and Will at Tartufo when who should walk in but Gary. About an hour later George [...]
It’s no secret that I love my slow cooker. What’s not to love? You throw all the ingredients in it, flick a switch and hours later you return to a hot, cooked dinner without hours slaving over the stove. The only thing that I didn’t like about my slow cooker, was having to seal meats [...]
Butter chicken would have to be my favourite Indian curry. The best butter chicken that I’ve ever eaten is at our local Indian restaurant Sitar. I’m sure the secret is lashing of butter and ghee. I’m ok with eating it sometimes but not if I can actually see it going into the food. I’ve had [...]
It seems like only yesterday that I wrote last month’s ‘In my kitchen’ post but another month has passed and it is again time to give you a peek into my kitchen. Celia over at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial started this tradition. I love reading about what’s going on in her kitchen every month. [...]
Notice anything different? After nearly one year of Claire K Creations, I’ve discovered how much I love blogging and that I want to continue for as long as I can. I thought if I was continuing and serious about Claire K Creations and going to be looking at it every day for quite some time [...]
Yesterday we received our first wedding present. Yes it’s a little early when we’re not getting married until next April but our old barbeque died an untimely death last week. I thought I’d give it a good old Spring clean to get it ready for the warmer weather. While cleaning out the inside, I scraped [...]
I hope all the dads had a wonderful Father’s Day yesterday and were spoilt rotten by their children. I had the family to lunch to celebrate and served up one of dad’s favourite foods – Alaskan crab legs. He definitely deserved it. Not that he doesn’t deserve it every year but this year he’s been [...]
With all the wedding excitement of August, I somehow missed my ‘in my kitchen’ post. There was definitely a lot going on, it was just happening way too fast to capture. Not this month though, I’m getting in early. I have quite a few exciting things in my kitchen at the moment. In my kitchen [...]
