Lobster rolls

Once upon a time, we used to live on a sailing boat and travel around the world. It seems like a lifetime ago that we were exploring far away lands and living in our own floating bubble. One of the things I miss the most is catching our own dinner and enjoying the freshest seafood. We used to trawl a line everyday during ocean passages, hoping to catch a fish large enough… Read More

Tongan feast our way…

Back in July, one of our stop over was in the Vava’u group of islands, part of the Kingdom of Tonga. Our stay was brief, only 2 weeks, as we had spent longer than planned on French Polynesia (too much of a good time!) and we had guests to meet the following month in Fiji. A rough sea voyage and a spell of bad weather with strong winds, meant that our crew… Read More

Crumbed lobster medallions with mango and chili coleslaw

Two years ago, we had the good fortune to spend 6 months cruising around the Eastern Caribbeans. From the Grenadines to the Bahamas, thru the French islands of Martinique, Guadeloupe and St Barth, the yacht mecca of Antigua, luxurious Mustique…the sailing was brilliant and the food even better! One of our favourite islands was Dominica, not only for its lush and green interior, but also for its happy and friendly people. While… 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.
