For the love of food
Whenever I think of party food my brain always goes straight to sausage rolls. It’s really not a party here in Australia unless you have them. Years ago, party sausage rolls used to mean the frozen variety that come in a box and have little indents down the log so you can snap off however [...]
I was (an secretly still am) a serious Spice Girls fan. Seriously, what’s not to love? When they announced their comeback tour a few years ago I was almost dancing around the house to ‘Spice up your life’ in joy. Sadly, they couldn’t stay together long enough to make it to Australia.

I’m always coming up with strange things that I think should exist but London Foodie In New York has come up with something I would pay good money for. She and her man are constantly debating the number of items she needs in the kitchen and appliances on the kitchen bench. I too have a [...]
When I was in primary school my sister and I were allowed tuckshop for lunch on Fridays. I used to love writing out my order on a brown paper bag and adding the money to it. It was also a serious privilege to be on ‘tuckshop duty’ where you got to take your class’s box [...]

My mum and aunt, my aunt especially, are always asking me to find new recipes that they can prepare ahead of time and freeze. The latest request was for an easy, tasty recipe that could be served before a dinner or lunch party. I flicked through a few of my many recipe books but didn’t [...]
There aren’t many people who don’t like a good party pie. You could call them the Aussie party essential. You can imagine then that these were the first request for Will’s recent Birthday party. I’ve never actually made pies before but these were pretty easy and went down very well. I forgot to take photos [...]
