I can’t recommend making it highly enough! We’ve been delving into the art for a couple of years now and we will never go back to store bought bacon. It just doesn’t even come close to the flavoursome meat product that you can produce yourself with minimal time and effort. This post is less about…

One pan breakfast genius (bacon and egg cakes)
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter break. While we’re still just skimming past the eggy time of year here’s another recipe with eggs. This delightful, no-fuss stroke of genius I picked up from my friend Luke’s lovely wife who lives in Korea. When I saw a picture he posted of it on facebook, I…
Happy Easter and here are some eggs
I’m about to pack my swag and trundle off for the week. My taller half and I are gathering everything we’ll need for a week, piling into Bertha the silver superbus, and heading north for the last rays of summer before daylight savings ends. Keep you fingers and toes crossed the weather man is kind…
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…
Fresh eggs
Other chicken owners may disagree but as far as I’m concerned Daphne lays the tastiest chicken eggs I’ve ever had. Of course I’m biased but hey… why not? Keeping it simple here with a spelt bread, bacon, fresh eggs and BBQ sauce sandwich. No listed ingredients. No fuss. Just make, eat and enjoy because some…
Pea soup with home made bacon croutons
I sent this recipe to my taller half when he was out ideas for soup last week. It’s a really quick recipe that’s easily doable on a weeknight. We altered the recipe a little bit by substituting the chervil with flat leaf parsley and adding in some crispy fried croutons at the end made from…
The humble brussel sprout
Hated vegetable of the masses how we have embraced thee. I know a very large number of people have terrible memories of being force fed watery bitter brussel sprouts as children. I’m here to tell you that the memories will fade after trying this delicious recipe. I know my mum used to try and disguise…
Breakfast with Karen
With my taller half being away in China it was a nice time to have some breakfast company with my friend Karen. I grilled some medium sized mushrooms with a lovely marinated goats feta, roasted capsicum and shredded zucchini strips with some olive oil and fresh thyme, grilled a couple of lovely middle rashers of…
Celebrating autumn
This one was a pretty easy, leave-to-cook option for a weeknight. Chicken, sage and bacon baked with thin potato rounds and served with grilled zucchini topped with parmesan cheese. 1 chicken breast (halved lengthways) 1 dozen fresh sage leaves 2 rashers of bacon 2 medium sliced potatoes 2 zucchini Simply layer the sage on top…
Fresh figs stuffed with goats cheese and wrapped in bacon
This is possibly one of the most divine things you could ever put in your mouth, chew, then swallow. Seriously good. Simply make four cuts into the top of the fig, pop in a nice amount of good quality goats cheese, wrap in bacon, drizzle with honey then bake in the oven until bacon is…
