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

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. Cooking has been a mix of large scale dinners to cater for voracious appetites, slapdash meals when inspiration failed, and elaborate recipes when the mood to cook strikes. There’s been lots of eggs on toast, green juice and cheese platters. As well as proper meals, swipe left for the best of them.
A flourless chocolate cake with pecan oil. Good enough for any occasion, be it a birthday celebration or a daily coffee ritual. I should know, I’ve been having a slice everyday this week 😉
Third Yee Sang salad in a week and i think we finally nailed it. The bunny actually looks like himself instead of masquerading as a pig or some weird creature ( swipe left for practise runs ).
Lunar New Year has been the dining theme for the past 2 weeks in our house.
How is this for outback cooking at home ? Using very Australian ingredients and a liberal use of #native spices, after watching many episodes of #thecookupsbs and @adamliaw
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?
