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

Dinner in the Marquesas

After 3 weeks at sea, we landed in the Marquesas last month. This archipelago of 12 mountainous islands is as remote a destination as you get: 6000 klm west of the Galapagos and south of Hawaii, the closest neighboring islands are the Tuamotus, 1000 klm to the west. The Marquesas were originally settled around 340BC by tribes coming from western Polynesia (Tonga-Samoa). These are believed to be descendants of austronesians who started… 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.
