Summer of reunions, air travels and party food

How is your year going so far? 2019 is flying by, autumn is sneaking up this first weekend of March ( not that you would know, since the weather is still quite warm in Sydney ). Summer is officially over in Australia, and let me tell you what a summer it has been. January seems to  be the time when folks from the Northern Hemisphere decide to head south for a bit… Read More

Another 4 weeks to go. #sydlockdown extended again, meaning more home cooking ( actually for a lot of people it means way more than that 😩)
Who else thinks that dinner is the highlight of the day?
I was asked for the recipe of the French onion soup, I featured in my last post. That was the opportunity to go back into writing and update the blog.
French week in my kitchen!
Bastille day 2021! If we can’t go to France, let France come to us.
Here we go, lockdown again. Actually, we’re in week 3 of stay-home orders and while we took the first 2 weeks on the chin hoping to be back to normal afterwards, it’s dawning on all of us that we could be in lockdown for a lot longer. Numbers don’t look good.
This is the kitchen I’d like to be in right now. It’s at my mum’s, in France, cooking scallops in the fireplace. That was in April 2019, last time we visited from Australia. We’ve all gone thru multiple lockdowns, 3 in France, our second in Sydney, trying to hold on to hope we’ll see each other again ( I was going to say soon, but Australian borders are nowhere near opening…) No one dares making plans, just keeping in touch and asking each other «  what’s for dinner ? »
Some of you may know that we have @satahni staying with us lately. She always joins us for dinner and being the terrific cook that she is, always brings a plate to share. It is great fun discussing dinner plans which end up with enough food to feed an army. We joke that we should ask for people to vote for their preferred dish. I am just grateful to have her playing along with our crazy dinner themes!
I call these my moon plates. Latest addition to my servingware collection from @madeofaustralia
