A taste of Colombia

  Earlier this month we spent 18 days in Cartagena, on Colombia’s Atlantic coast. It was a technical stop, to work on the boat rather than for tourism. Still, we all had to eat and I found that scouting for local produce was a perfect distraction to the frustration of life in a shipyard.   When I asked friends in Mexico about Colombian cooking, I was told there was lots of rice. … Read More

Braised garlic and ginger pork, roasted turnips, stir fried turnip leaves.

First road trip of 2023: random driving in regional NSW, looking for sunny weather. From Jugiong to Cowra We had fun tasting pies, not so much travelling in hail storms, but we can vouch for country hospitality and fascinating history. The story is on the blog this week, hope you enjoy the read as much as we did the drive!! Link in the bio.
So far this year, the new habit in the kitchen has been pasta once a week. What’s more comforting than a big plate/bowl of spaghetti with a vegetable laden sauce?
