Green Eggs

by Peter G November 26, 2010 Personal

I apologise for not getting any recipes out this week…travel plans have kept me busy. In the mean time I hope you enjoy this image of green eggs (sorry no ham!). I picked up an old “new” lens a few weeks ago and put it through its paces. As usual I’m impressed with these old Nikon

Weekend Treat

by Peter G August 7, 2009 Recipes

Does everyone enjoy a big weekend brunch or breakfast? When I have the time, I know I do! Sydney is abuzz with cafes offering all day breakfasts over the weekend.

Loukaniko is full of porky goodness (Heather are you listening?…LOL!) often flavoured with fennel seeds or orange peel. It’s a dry sausage and its usually prepared smoked. The Northern Greek version is often spicier with the addition of chili or [...]

EGGS…ELLENT

by Peter G January 28, 2007 Recipes

Aaaahh!!! The humble egg. The controversy that surrounds this food item is amazing. I like to think of it as the “Paris Hilton” of the food world. One week loved, another week vilified. Lots of special appearances in many countries’ recipes around the globe. Nutritionists and food experts love talking about it. One week it is being blamed for the cause of high cholesterol, yet speak to any athlete or [...]
