For the love of food
I thought I’d write my In My Kitchen post a little differently this month. Instead of describing everything to you I thought I’d show you. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in my house and I’m sure next month will be all about Christmas but this month has a little bit of balance. [...]
Excitement was the first emotion that struck when I got the email. An old friend from school was getting married and she wanted me, ME, to make her wedding cupcakes. What an honor. The next thought was a little bit of panic and some reassuring myself that I could do it and indeed was up [...]
I’ll admit it, I had no idea what to expect of Adelaide. Ashamedly my only research was checking the weather so arriving into the city was like arriving in a foreign country. People describe Brisbane as a big country town but I think they’re the people who haven’t been to Adelaide. Bustling it is not. [...]
It’s been a long time since I posted photos of my lush, thriving garden. The sad fact is that it’s been a long time since it’s been a lush, thriving garden. I got distracted and before I knew it, things got overgrown, died or were taken over by weeds or ants. The few survivors struggled [...]
I’m a magazine addict. If weekend breakfast is at home, my set up usually consists of a bowl of muesli with yoghurt, a pot of green tea and a stack of the latest food and home magazines. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending how you look at it, I don’t have room to keep them all so [...]
When I get obsessed with something I really get obsessed. The latest subject? Strawberries! (yes I had a photo shoot with them) Last season I was disappointed. Every punnet I bought was full of dull and flavourless berries but not this year. This year they are the sweetest most delicious little fruit or as I [...]
Look inside your pantry and if you’re anything like me you’ll find at least one product from Queen Fine Foods. I always have vanilla extract at the very least along with a few food colourings, some glucose syrup and an array of essences. I few months ago, I was invited to work with them on [...]
The Noosa Farmers Market is one of my favourite markets. I love that it’s truly local. Nearly every stallholder you speak with grew or make their produce themselves. They’re passionate and it shines in their stalls and products. It had been way too long since my last visit so I was more than eager to [...]
I was pretty specific about the food I wanted at our wedding… lots of it! I didn’t want the traditional two different meals with alternate drop. I wanted variety and options and for it to feel like a big family feast. Finding a caterer that met my requirements was tricky business but not for my [...]
Michelle Bridges’ 12 week body transformation had a lot of mushroom recipes. It’s where I got my taste for them actually. They are super low in calories and have virtually no fat so they’re a weight-loss super food. What I learned this week, is that they’re also a super food for a lot of other [...]
I probably say this at the start of every month but I can’t believe it’s June already. I guess having a wedding to plan makes the year go rather quickly. The start of the month means another In My Kitchen post. The first item in my kitchen this month is the last of the flowers [...]
I am a little bit obsessed with taking photos of food. Everywhere I go I’m constantly snapping for inspiration, so I can relive it later or to remember one particular element or of course to share it here. One thing I didn’t really think about when I started my blog was taking photos and how [...]
