French onion soup

I am back! Well, I was always there, just keeping quiet on the blog.  2021 held so much promise. Like many people, we looked forward to a year of relative normalcy: kids finishing school, resuming uni, house projects, travelling… Unfortunately, like for many people, COVID-19 decided to stick around a wee longer and rain on our parade, meaning major changes to any plans we started the year with.  For months, we lived… Read More

Say Cheese! A taste of the French Alps

July in Sydney means the dead of winter. It also happens to be the time when the French Food Festival is held in the city to celebrate French National Day ( known as Bastille Day in Australia ) and a lot of restaurants feature a French specialty dish for a month. Anne and I attended the festival one weekend and I dragged Mr T along to a large hotel’s buffet that advertised… 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.
