Now this is nothing fancy. Taking into consideration the 24 hours in transit via four aeroplanes it’s a minor miracle we managed to cook anything at all. I was dreaming about roo steak on the flight home so I followed dreams and hey presto, a simple dinner of nectarine, pine nut, lettuce and halloumi salad…

Quail, stuffed tomatoes and curried loose ends
Phew. 2010 hey. My how time flies. Sadly at the end of last year prior to my overseas adventures I was unable to upload all of the great meals we cooked. Now that time has passed the exact ingredients for various things have fallen into the recesses of my memory. Some of these things looked…

Sweet corn starter with beef ribs and salad main
If you’ve got time to marinate then this is a meal well worth the effort. There’s a million recipes out the for beef rib marinades and after checking many of them out I have tended to make my own variation of others that is well received. I’m pretty loose with the ingredients so I’ll try…
Breakfast at Karen’s
My delightful friend Karen was kind enough to cook me a yummy breakfast treat. She has a gorgeous apartment overlooking Sydney Park and we ate outside on her fabulous new outdoor setting. I’m so glad she moved to our area so I get to see her more often. She’s off to South Africa to visit…
Warm weather roast
If you’re inclined to leave roast meals for the warmer months do reconsider. Roasts are fantastic because they’re packed with flavour (that’s why we love them) and they virtually cook themselves. Pop one in the oven on a Sunday afternoon and with the kitchen warming up it’s a great excuse to get outside, do some…
Olive and sundried tomato damper
I’ve been missing being able to eat my favourite butter from Gympie Farm since giving up wheat. I used to make my own flavoured dampers quite often so I thought I’d give a gluten free flour mix a go. The result was very stodgy. Damper is a heavy bread but this was quite gluggy. I…
Smoked salmon done two ways
I sourced some absolutely divine smoked salmon from Eveleigh Markets as well as some zucchini flowers and made zucchini flowers stuffed with smoked salmon and smoked salmon served on butter bean salad. This was really, really, really, REALLY good! Smoked salmon stuffed zucchini flowers Batter 1/2 cup flour (I used gluten free) 1/2 cup white…
