There is nothing quite like a really good sausage roll and seeing as I have access to amazing sausages at my local award winning butcher, I figure I can give making good ones, a decent go. Attempt number one was pretty successful. They weren’t quite as fabulous as the ones we get from Alexander’s Patisserie…

Scientifically special Korean fried chicken wings
I was going to call this post ‘Scientifically perfect Korean fried chicken wings’ but perfection when it comes to food is often subjective. I was, however, suitably impressed by how much time and effort the fellow who came up with this specific recipe put into the trial and error of determining the best combination of…
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…
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….
Healthy mexican salad with crispy skinned ocean trout and unhealthy whole egg mayonnaise
Well nobody is perfect right? This meal is pretty easy to whip up on a weeknight. I keep batches of boiled black beans in tubs in the freezer just for these occasions. All I need to do is remove them from the freezer and boil on the stove in water for a few minutes, let…
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…
Turkey, craisin, mushroom, almond and wild rice pilaf
I’ve been having a hankering for wild rice. I absolutely love the texture of it and it’s so good for you. I also love the flavour of nuts and raisins in food which are common in various Moroccan dishes. The sweet and savoury flavours are accentuated by the soft and crunchy textures. In trying to…
Quick Kangaroo for one
So I’m flying solo while the taller half is in China visiting family. I also had a chilly 4am start this morning due to Federal Budget requirements so I needed something quick and nutritious to ward off the cold. I went for baked sweet potato and spanish onion with loads of thyme served with grilled…
Capsicum stuffed with marinara and quinoa
We went for a short weekend trip up to visit my in-laws at their property and it was magnificent. They have a beautiful garden full of veges, berries, fruit and nut trees so we snaffled a small amount of produce, amongst which were some green capsicum at a perfect size to stuff and bake. I…
