For the love of food
I’d seen it before but being quite a landmark, I thought Will would want to see it for himself and convinced him that it was worth the side trip. We navigated ourselves from our hotel through the cobblestone streets to the hire car office where we were given the keys to a little black Fiat. [...]
‘There’s a mob of weaners (calves just off their mums) running amok in the house yard – firstly to let them eat the grass instead of firing up the lawn mower, and secondly to get them used to us so they remain stress-free and easy to manage well into their adulthood (all their lives actually). [...]
Sunday mornings used to mean a trip to the markets, just a walk away with my grandma trolley in tow. When the markets first started I really enjoyed them. There was so much to choose from and everything seemed pretty good. I’m not sure whether it was my excitement of having a farmers market just [...]
When I was much younger I had a Marie Claire health and beauty book. I can still picture some of the images of young girls with toned bodies and glowing skin doing cartwheels on the beach. I don’t really remember much of that book but I do remember that it had a whole page on [...]
Do you know where your meat comes from? Was that piece of juicy pork you just served up once a happy pig rolling in the mud or was it locked up in a shed never to see the light of day? That deliciously tender and moist roast chicken, did it once live in a cage? [...]
Before I get into my delicious haul I have a little favour to ask. My macadamia muesli recipe has won me a place on the macadamia 2013 calendar and I’m in the running for front cover. To win pride of place, I need lots of votes. I’d be ever so grateful if you’d ‘like’ my [...]
You would think after Eat Drink Blog, that I would have had enough of taste testing/eating for a few weeks but that is not so. On Friday I had a stern word with my stomach and we headed off to indulge at the Brisbane Good Food and Wine Show. Last year I had a bit [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
