Getting up early in the Marquesas

People get up early in the Marquesas. Especially when it comes to cooking. I found that out when we first arrived in Fatu Hiva and was told to report at 7am with final numbers of participants to a dinner show that same night. The ladies needed time to prepare the feast and have it ready for 6.30pm! Having organised to trade for fresh produce the next day, I showed up with a… Read More

When simple is sometimes the best

I’ve always said that what I love about our travelling is the opportunity to experience new and different cultures first hand.  Learning languages, tasting exotic foods…total immersion is the way to go in my books.  But meeting new people has to be on top of the list of “by-products” of our global roaming.  Locals, holidaymakers , fellow cruisers or relocated expats…Puerto Aventuras, where we have been for the past 6 months, is… 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.

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?
