So this is what I was up to during my study breaks. Making salads. Lots of them. It didn’t quite stave off the couch potatoey-ness of having to sit for an entire four months but I’d imagine things could have been a lot worse had I not been in pursuit of the divine salad. I…

Catching up
So I’ve been scanning through some photos I took of our food and produce over the last few months while I was studying and thought some of them are just too awesome to not share. Such as our first crop of peas, now that was a satisfying time taking a break from study and shelling…
Simple breakfast with added decandence
As a result of our gourmet feast we have a few pretty speccy ingredients in the fridge which I’ll be using to ramp up a few staples over time. For this simple breakfast I decided to use the salmon roe but the truffle paste is staring at me and begging to be combined with eggs…
9 course degustation for four
It has been a long while since have been able to give my blog any love. I have been busy studying for the last four+ months, so only now that the dust has settled am I able to drop in. The last four months haven’t been totally devoid of fabulous food so I have a…
Moroccan lamb tagine with toasted almonds, dates, parsley, yoghurt and preserved lemon
I don’t have much to say about this one except it was fabulous, tasty and the lamb just melted in your mouth. The secret is to make sure the meat is covered by liquid and cook it for a good three hours. Once the prep is done it basically cooks itself. 1kg diced lamb 2…
Pappardelle with rabbit ragout
So I’ve never cooked rabbit myself before but after having the most delicious version of this meal at the Lord Nelson Hotel at the Rocks, which incidentally my great grandfather was the publican of, I decided to give it a go and it was possibly the most delicious smelling meal I think I’ve ever cooked….
Chili lime crab spaghettini
Crab meat would have to be one of my favourite things to eat on the whole planet. Particularly mud crab. A well made chili crab spaghettini is a wonderful meal in the summer and the winter. Enough crab meat removed from the shell for two people (you could use a good quality tinned as some…
Mustard roast lamb rack with young leeks and winter veges
It’s been an eon since I last posted. I am ridiculously busy in the depths of study at the moment. I’ve been finding time to indulge in my love of cooking once a week but haven’t had time to blog unfortunately so I’ll do my best to trawl these winter recipes out of my memory…
Super special birthday dinner
It’s been a while since I’ve updated and a few things have happened since my last post including having a birthday and traveling to Las Vegas and New York City for a holiday. All of which was fabulously awesome. Apart from all the delicious food we scoffed down in NYC I still have the wonderful…
Epic weekend of awesome produce
Last weekend we went on a few missions around town sourcing some of the best produce Sydney has to offer. First stop was Dank Street for a visit to Fratelli Fresh where we picked up some tomatoes, bocconcini, baby carrots and had brunch at Cafe Sopra. We ducked into Sonoma for a kalamata olive sourdough…
