So here’s where it all began. I was walking through the supermarket and spotted some cauliflower and thought I’d whip up a tasty treat for myself while the other half was mingling with the celebs in LA for the Gday USA launch. Nice for some. After grabbing the cauliflower I came across a tray of quail [...]

So we’ve gone from Indian to Middle Eastern for my “dinner for one” and now it’s back to India with this simple dish I reckon most people would like. If I can make assumptions, that is. Every time I duck over to the Fiji Market to top up the spices in my pantry I spot [...]

When my partner recently ducked over to LA for a few days for work I thought, you beauty, I can buy a cauliflower and whip it up for dinner. Yes it’s the small things that get me excited, people.

For the very brief time we had in London I was glad we had a chance to catch up with our old flatmate from Pyrmont days. Vivacious Miss T lived with us for a while when she came to Oz and now that she’s back living in London it was good to catch up on [...]

As I sat on the train coming home from work I had a sudden pang for a bit of spice. It’s been a while since I knocked up an Indian curry at home and with all of these ingredients on hand, even that trusty bag of frozen soya beans & a curry tree out the back, it [...]

Hands up who collects recipes by tearing them from magazines or prints them from the internet and just files them away, never to be seen again? Being the semi-organised person I am, such “I like the sound of that” recipes are filed away in categorised folders where I can at least keep track of things I’ve made [...]
