It’s been nice and warm here in Sydney. I braved the crazy Christmas crowds yesterday and managed to get the last of my shopping out of the way. I know it’s a little hard for some people to comprehend but Christmas is a hot time of the year for us! Santa delivers his presents on [...]
I haven’t really felt like cooking anything too exotic or complicated lately. A quick look in the cupboard yielded that can of tuna staring right back at me. You know the “one”. The one you buy for emergencies and maybe for that tuna pasta. Another quick look in the fridge and I found some leftover [...]
As I explained yesterday, I’m not really a big seafood eater. I’m trying to indulge in more seafood in particular the “good variety”. Salmon is a good choice as it provides a number of essential nutrients and oils. I also enjoy its meaty texture and find it quite filling. I wanted to pair the salmon [...]
This is a simple “throw everything together” kind of pasta dish that I enjoyed a few weeks ago and only got around to posting now. Remember when I prepared last month’s Joust entry and I used prawns? Well I had so may leftover that I had to use them quickly. A great idea came to [...]

Prawn Ceviche in Mini Tortilla Cups
It’s that crazy time of the year again. Shoppers scramble to find presents for loved ones in crowded shopping centres. Children draw up lists of presents hoping that Santa will deliver them on Christmas morning. And more importantly, passionate foodies plan mouth watering menus to feed their [...]
Coleslaw with Prawns
