Glazed Ham and yummy vegetables on the side

I don’t know about you, but November is the time of the year when I realise the festive season is fast approaching, but somehow I am still convinced there is lots of time to get ready. Besides we have just recovered from Halloween sugar-laden feasts and Australian spring festival celebrations, so I like to sit back and enjoy a quiet week or two before the Christmas frenzy takes hold. Last week started… Read More

Coconut Layer Cake

About a month ago, I posted a photo of this cake I made and a few of you asked for more details – it was a coconut layer cake inspired by the 12-Layer Coconut Cake from the Peninsula Grill in Charleston, South Carolina. Exactly 12 months ago, as we were sailing down the US east coast, we pulled into Charleston Harbour  seeking shelter from bad weather brought on by hurricane Sandy. We… Read More

Back from France and needless to say that we ate well ( 99% of the time 😂 ). From the generous hosting of family and friends, to traditional establishments, regional menus, a gastronomic dinner in a 15th century castle, a leisurely lunch by the beach, and of course iconic pastries… it has been such a unique and delicious journey. I wish we covered more, just ran out of time…a good thing for the waistline I guess.
I have not cooked for over a month. Instead we have spent the whole of July tasting our way thru other’s kitchens during a 28 day road trip around Northern Europe. Here are 10 of the highlights, many others deserve a mention, even a post of their own. Stay tuned…
It’s been a tough month for both our families.
Sharing some of our May home spreads and casual eating out around the Shire and beyond.
When the temperature plummets it’s time for comforting soups, stews, and baked dinners. While dreaming of summer salads and bbq!
Take me to our local farmers markets, give me any fresh produce and I’ll build a meal around it. Here’s what I cooked with exotic #mushrooms, late season #figs, over abundant #bananas and #honey, cooked #prawns and juicy #lamb cutlets.
Round trip to Coffs Harbour in 3 days, beside the snacks onboard, we mostly ate out at the locals. No pie shops this time, cafes and pubs are far too tempting on this drive!
I am on a mission to cook from the pantry for the next few weeks.
One of the highlights of a recent road trip to Northern Victoria: Wine tasting and dining at @brownbrothers in Milawa.
