Carrot soup with ginger and miso

As far as I can remember, Easter in Sydney has always been rainy and cold, but not this year.Not that I am complaining about the Indian summer we’ve had. I mean, who would ever tire of balmy nights and sunny warm days extending for ever… Salads and BBQ anything have been staples thru February and March, to the point where the family was craving for a good old roast or casserole. Then… Read More

Ham and Cabbage soup

The last couple of weeks have seen us shifting gears, while making the most of the rest of the summer holidays, also preparing for the return to school (for the kids anyway!). So our days were a mixture of morning surfing and afternoon shopping for school supplies. The kids hung out with their friends (as opposed to attend organised camps), for some precious “chilling” time, we squeezed some serious dining out, enjoying… Read More

WHAT’S IN YOUR PANTRY? Or how do you provision for a long passage?

  The difference between my boat pantry and my house pantry in Sydney is that we don’t have the convenience of running to the supermarket whenever we run out of a particular ingredient. The closest we ever come to this situation is when staying in particular countries for a while (like the USA or Mexico) where grocery shopping is easy and accessible. We then make weekly trips to the supermarkets and seek… 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.
