Fish Tartare

What a month September has been. While it has been wonderful for us, with family celebrations and getaways, it has also been traumatic with the news of the devastation brought by hurricanes Irma and Maria to the Caribbean islands. Add to this the 2 earthquakes that rocked Mexico in as many weeks, and it was enough to render us speechless. As some of you may know, the Caribbeans and Mexico are destinations… Read More

A successful fishing trip in Fiji

A few weeks ago, we were fortunate to have Malcolm, my husband’s middle son, staying with us for a while on the boat. He is a keen fisherman, and unlike us, who just drop a line and trawl hoping for the best, he takes the job of catching dinner very seriously.

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

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.

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?
