Flavoursome fish
Leatherjacket is a white fish with a prolific bone structure and a full bodied, meaty flavour. It is for this flavour that it is worth persevering with the bones. Sasha makes a lovely simple dish by frying leatherjacket in butter, capers and chopped parsley with a drizzle of lemon juice served with dutch carrots, new…
Sunday soufflé
I’m playing a bit of catchup here. We’ve been super busy and I try and avoid the computer as much as I can when I’m not working. It’s hard to be as interesting writing about dishes you’ve cooked after some time has passed but I’ll persevere. Gruyere and parmesan cheese soufflé with steamed greens and…
What’s up Skip?
Warning. Some cute furry Australian native animals were most definitely harmed in order to create this meal. Kangaroo. It’s lean, tasty, good for you and a more environmentally friendly option than beef. Oh… and it’s cheap. There is so much going for this great source of nutrition I highly recommend trying it if you haven’t….
Cheeky fish and chips
Well… I found myself spontaneously left to my own devices for dinner last night and the pull towards cheap takeaway Indian was great. Not nearly as much home cooked food loving went on in our home over the weekend, nor for the last 2 weeks to be honest. I had a beautiful lunch on Sunday…
Comfort food
Sometimes comfort food is stodgy winter fare involving bread, pasta and lots of crispy roast vegetables. Sometimes comfort food is chicken and vegetable noodle soup when you’re sick and can’t digest anything that doesn’t involve a large amount of liquid. This post, however, is about the kind of comfort food you need when you’ve been…
Cosy collaboration spelt
I had some fantastic spelt pasta in the cupboard dying to be used. I’ve been off bread and pasta for a while now and missing them somewhat terribly at times so I decided to give this stuff a go. It’s so good I can now honestly say I no longer have to miss pasta. Delicious….
Wednesday spring lamb with Karen
We had our dear friend over for dinner on a ‘school night’ so I went for something tried and true. Home made olive tepenade coated lamb cutlets (because it’s a great time of year to include lamb in a menu), potato, onion and gruyere cheese gratin and blanched asparagus with aged balsamic. Much of this…
Oktoberfest
Sasha decided to celebrate the kick off of Oktoberfest and made us tasty German goods. Bratwurst (pork and veal) sausages, sauerkraut, mashed potato, peas and gherkins. We get our sausages from Deli on King, King Street Newtown. They don’t put any flour in their sausages and these one are particularly creamy and spongy in texture,…
Moroccan Whatotto?
I have this fantastic recipe in this equally fantastic recipe book at home called Ethnidelicious that features a dish and an outline of various cuisines around the world. I highly recommend this lovely book. It has some great travel tips too. I digress… The recipe I worked from is for a Moroccan cousotto with fish….
