For the love of food
This time in three weeks, Will and I will be on a plane heading over to New York City! We’re more than a little excited. The planning is well and truly underway and we’ve gone so overboard as to plot every place we want to go on a map. Restaurants have their own colour so [...]
Warm molten chocolate oozes from the center as you glide your spoon through the chocolate cake-like layer. Keep that image in your mind while you read this post ok? If you had to think of your go-to dessert for a serious indulgence what would it be? For me, I can’t go past chocolate fondant or runny [...]
It’s not really all that cool here yet but the slight change in the air was enough for me to get out the slow cooker a couple of weeks ago. Actually it was pouring rain on that particular day which to me, no matter what the temperature, calls for a warming, hearty dinner. I had [...]
I’ve had this post scheduled for today for a week but by coincidence, I happen to be eating this again for lunch today as sustenance/payment for a very very important job. Today, two girlfriends and I are babysitting the gorgeous twins for the day. Their grandma is the creator of the zucchini and bacon crustless [...]
We’re leaving Morocco today and hitting the high seas. Head to the port at Tangir, in the north of Morocco, jump on the ‘fast ferry’ and 2 hours later you will find yourself in the land of senoritas and paella . There are a some similarities between Spanish and Moroccan food, the two countries being [...]
I may have fooled you into the illusion that here in the Claire K Creations household, we eat a great variety of food with some new creation landing on the table ever night. That would be my ideal but in reality, there are a few dishes that are in high rotation around here. Monday nights [...]
I can’t remember the last time the weather looked as good as this on Easter Sunday. I know it’s a bad habit but I check my phone when I wake up, perusing all my social networks and clearing my junk mail ready to tackle the day when I sit down at my desk. On Sunday, [...]
‘Is there a champagne reference?’ ‘Yep – will look forward to having a glass of bubbles with you over Easter to celebrate.’ They all laughed. The joke? Well apparently 90% of mum’s Birthday presents had some sort of reference to champagne. Her friends know her too well. Then it occurred to me that 90% of [...]
Sono would have to be one of, if not our favourite restaurant. We celebrated our 1st anniversary (of dating) there 7 years go and visit for special occasions regularly. Lately we’ve been a bit naughty. It seems ‘the end of summer,’ ’2 weeks before Christmas’ and other equally as un-special occasions have been deemed special [...]
On Saturday I shared the secret as to why I’m not the size of a house. It’s not really a secret, it’s just that I don’t eat quite as much as it looks like I do. There is one secret I can attest to though. Tasty food. That means only eating food that you really enjoy. [...]
I’m going to let you in on a secret. It’s a pretty big secret and I’m so excited that I was finally allowed in on it. To me it’s a very exciting secret. Ok I’ll stop teasing, I was finally invited to join the Secret Recipe Club. If you haven’t heard of it, you apply [...]
‘What made you think to crumb them in coconut?’ ‘I have no idea, maybe making lamingtons this week?’ I tend to get on a roll with things. I start using an ingredient, love it and use it in everything until I get sick of it and move on to the next thing. That would explain [...]
