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.

Braised garlic and ginger pork, roasted turnips, stir fried turnip leaves.
Van cooking is easy thanks to fresh produce found along the way, a few pantry staples and good weather!
A friend recently told me how much she liked my “last week’s menu” posts and I realised that it’s been months since the last update. The year so far has flown, plenty of distractions…when we’re not travelling, we’re home with a full house.

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?
