Granny Smith Apples

Somebody commented the other day (via email) that I had been doing a fair bit of baking lately.  I assured the reader that I would be including a few savoury recipes soon.  It’s just that, with the colder weather, I’ve really been enjoying being indoors and cooking to my heart’s content.  And I suppose comfort food is the first thing that I turn to.  Rich braises, lots of red wine Read more…

They happen all the time.  I’m setting up a shot and I accidentally press the button!  I made this deep dish apple pie for the weekend (something I’ve wanted to make for a long time-recipe soon to follow).  Just wanted to share it all as I found it quite amusing!  Smile.  Laugh.  Life is good.  Hope you enjoy the weekend.

As a child, I remember having to tag along with my parents to the Queen Victoria Markets in Melbourne.  This was the usual weekend routine.  Catch the tram.  Make your way through hundreds of fruit and veg stalls.  Fill up the shopping trolley.  Get the meat.  Then the poultry…  It wasn’t something I looked forward [...]

Beautiful.  Serene.  Calm.  Exhilarating.  These are the words that come to mind when I look at these pictures.

I couldn’t resist these mandarins at the market the other day.  Real mandarins, with branches and leaves.  No glossy, plumped up “wrapped in plastic” specimens here. The man who sold them to me had a perplexed look on his face when I said I would be photographing them!   And they were a delight to [...]

Photo Friday-Darker Backgrounds and Settings

July 9, 2010 Personal

I was meant to get out a recipe this week but travel commitments along with picking up  my new computer (and some very expensive “toys”…ahem!)  have held me back.  I really need to focus more on my time management!  Also, by the time this post reaches Australia it will be

Photo Friday and a Giveaway

July 2, 2010 Personal

I’m planning a new feature here on the blog called “Photo Friday”.  There’s a lot of stuff I photograph that doesn’t make it as blog posts for one reason or another.  It won’t be just food…although most probably it will be food focused. It might be an outtake, a scene…whatever…I’ll just go with the flow! [...]

Cavolo Nero

June 30, 2010 Recipes

When I first heard the name Cavolo Nero I honestly thought somebody was talking about an Italian opera singer.  Well, I was partly right.  Cavolo Nero is of Italian origin and mostly found in the Tuscany region.  It has dark green leaves that are almost black in colour and each leaf has a tough central [...]

After the excitement of holidaying in Thailand, our group vowed to get together again and enjoy another getaway-this time somewhere a little closer to home.  After a few months of planning we settled on a weekend away on the “South Coast” of NSW.  This post is a little late in the making…I mean this happened [...]

Hazelnut and Chocolate Cake

June 19, 2010 Recipes

Hazelnuts and chocolate.  Chocolate and hazelnuts.  Whichever way you want to say it, it’s one perfect marriage.  The Italians have known this secret for a long time and refer to it as “gianduia“.  And let’s not forget Nutella.  That rich, chocolate/hazelnut spread.   I have seen people go crazy over Nutella.  Prior to living on [...]
