September 2, 2010 Greek Food

Mention the word “Bessemer” to any Greek (or Italian!) and you will immediately see their faces light up!  It’s true…I’m not kidding. “My mum still has a lot of their stuff…”  ”The cookware has been in my

Lemon and Date Scones

August 26, 2010 Recipes

For this “Photo Friday” I wanted to cover the magic of Polaroid cameras and include a recipe that I shot on one.  I’m a lover of instant film and the effects it creates.  It almost feels like you are stepping back in time when you are using this beast.  Although film can be a little [...]

Cauliflower Soup

August 22, 2010 Recipes

I just realised that in my three and half years of blogging, I have never featured a recipe for cauliflower on Souvlaki For The Soul!  Shock!  Horror!  It’s a vegetable I have not really experimented with much over the years.  It’s not that I

Guest Post by Mowielicious: Blackberry and Ginger Granita

August 2, 2010 Recipes

I was at blogger’s dinner a few months ago when someone mentioned Mowie. Everyone’s eyes lit up and the conversation centered around his gorgeous photography and wonderful kitchen creations. What’s not to love? He bakes. He styles. And he does it all with such beauty and finesse. I have often found myself

Deep Dish Apple Pie

July 26, 2010 Recipes

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 [...]

Jam Doughnuts

July 18, 2010 Recipes

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 [...]

Mandarin Jam

July 11, 2010 Recipes

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
