The end of the local blueberry season is almost over. At this time of the year one of the local farms invites the community in to pick their own blueberries for one day only. It’s a brilliant way to avoid ridiculous wastage of beautiful fruit, as the bushes would otherwise be trimmed back anyway, and an even better way to support a local fa...

Our veggie patch is currently out of control. Everything just happens to be ready at the same time and there is PLENTY of absolutely everything. Silverbeet, spinach, broccolini, parsley, basil, coriander, thyme, three types of lettuce, kale, beans and snowpeas.
A little bit of the lush greens growing in the veggie patch out the back of my da...

Isn’t it just fabulous when you can create the most beautifully delicious dish from something simple? It’s these sort of things that I really do love most. The meals where the produce or simplicity of minimal flavours speak for themselves.
Poached pears are one of those things. Turn something simple, and somewhat relatively boring,...

Rainy, cold winters days call out for heart and belly warming food. With the rainy weather set in, it was finally the perfect time to whip up a batch of something baked and cheesy... some real soul food.
While lost in my dinner thoughts, I came across a bit of a foodie first world conundrum... I felt like two different baked cheesy meals and...

I am currently the self appointed queen of One Tray Bakes. They’re proving to be my new ‘best friend’ since having a little bub and fitting my love of creating beautiful food into a day, no matter what little ‘hiccups’ may occur. More importantly though, they’re budget friendly and simply just damn delicious!
Beyond the...

Fish and dill are easily two of the most well known “best friends” of the foodie world. This works well for me, because at the moment I have a real thing for dill in particular. I am also a long time lover of capers. They are yet another “best friend” of both fish and dill, which makes this meal one of my favourites. Let’s be honest, you ca...

If there’s one thing that my family finds hard to resist when it pops up on a menu, it’s duck. It must be genetic.
It’s not something I cook often, but when I do it’s always delicious. So last week when frozen whole ducks were half price, I jumped at the opportunity to grab one. Once I got it home though, I wondered what the hell I was going...

I love brunch as much as the next guy, but the old bacon and eggs just doesn’t cut it for me. I need a kick of flavour to get the day going and can never say no to a bubbling skillet of Shakshuka when it’s on a menu. A Turkish version called Menemen is also one of my favourites. Baked eggs all the way!
If you’ve followed me on Instagram for...

For over 10 years these beautiful Balsamic Cherries have been a Christmas family tradition for us. They’re so delicious that once making them that very first year together with our aunty and our mum, we’ve never been able to celebrate without them.
They’re seriously THAT good!
So good, they’ve replaced cranberry sauce on almost all of our fes...

When I dream of getting away to an island, swimming and relaxing by the pool, some of the first things that come to mind are delicious cocktails and fresh tropical fruit. Pineapple, mango, passionfruit, dragonfruit, papaya and watermelon make part of my staple diet when I’m on holidays away from it all. They really are the icons of summer a...
