Photo Friday-A little bit of Sydney

This summer has definitely been a “mixed bag” of surprises.  A few weeks ago I actually threw a light cotton blanket on the bed…that’s a first for a Sydney summer! What I have been enjoying are the cloud formations that form in  the evenings.  They have provided a spectacular backdrop for our famous harbour and Opera House.  Great for a spot of photography! Enjoy the weekend everyone.  Take care and [...]

I do hope everyone is having a fantastic start to the new year. I’m in the middle of a few projects at the moment and am hoping to get out some more recipes next week. In the meantime, for this “Photo Friday” I’m going to leave you with two images of two very different sandwiches. A ham sandwich and a steak sandwich. One simple and the other substantial. And both very [...]

It seems like my days leading to Xmas are busier than ever. I don’t know about you but just in this last week I have been to numerous “get togethers”, social engagements and restaurants.  Like I said in my mini pavlovas post, I plan on having a “low-key” Xmas. However, that doesn’t mean the days leading up to it haven’t been jam packed. Just the other day I was invited [...]

Photo Friday-Feeling a little “blue”

I don’t think I’ve ever told you that my favourite colour is blue.  It’s practically three-quarters of my wardrobe! I was obsessed with it as a child.  Baby blue, sky blue, dark blue…everything was blue! So when I saw this deep blue, ornate, plate recently, I couldn’t resist.  Remember my post on food and prop styling for food bloggers?  I explained in that post that it was important to determine [...]

Orecchiette with Broccolini and being a ” Featured Foodie”

I spoke to some friends yesterday who said they were doing a “no carb” diet. I am always amazed when I hear that people remove certain foods from their diets purposefully. I’m not saying you need to eat “everything” but I think balance is good.  And when it comes to carbs and me, we have a great relationship. Especially pasta. I like to make at least one pasta dish a [...]

I posted a photo of this spaghetti dish on Flickr yesterday.  It’s your basic “spag bol” (however let’s call it a lamb ragu) made with lamb mince instead of beef or a combination of pork and veal.  I didn’t want to bore everyone with another basic spaghetti dish on the blog.  However, I did want to share how I photographed this shot.  This post was especially written for Anh and [...]

There it stands. Strong. Resilient. A true champion of the kitchen. I’m talking about my recent purchase-the mortar and pestle. How did I survive without one so long? I thought it only fitting to photograph this beast. Thanks again for dropping by

Hi everyone…I’m going to keep this short and sweet. First off, I need to apologise for not blogging in the past few weeks. Late in March I received some terrible news that required me to attend and deal with a personal emergency. It’s taken me a little while to readjust but everything

I’m really enjoying limes at the moment.  They are everywhere and quite reasonably priced too.  I’ve been using them in a few recipes (they’re not only for cocktails!) that I’ll be featuring soon and as usual I just adore photographing them.  I wanted to create two different moods here.  One
