"If you have a dream, you have a responsibility to yourself to make it come true; because if you don't, you're just a dreamer" Marco Pierre White
I have lots of “foodie heroes” that I look to for inspiration, and Huge Fearnley-Whittingstall of River Cottage (UK) fame is definitely one of them. I have all of his cookbooks, and in particular I love his “Veg Every Day” book which was released in 2011 (see here). So on page 51 of that book, Hugh…
Mum and I shared a love of food and cooking, but it was only as I got older and had my own family that I realised just how much I had learned from watching mum in the kitchen as a youngster. There are so many wonderful food memories that I have with mum, but one…
The boys in my family are meat eaters, yet the girls (including me) eat very little meat. So if I am going to expect the whole family to sit together and eat a dish I make … without meat … it has to have lots of flavour to satisfy their taste buds. So when thinking…
I am so thrilled that Hemp Seeds can now be purchased legally for consumption in Australia. They are a fabulous source of protein and omega fats, and are a great addition to everyone’s diet.

I am definitely a “meringue” girl … and I love my meringues crisp on the outside, with a slight chew in the middle. Usually I make my meringue as a Pavlova (see here), but some years ago I had taken a copy of a recipe from an Italian website (see here … they do everything…
I just can’t decide what I prefer … the flat filled biscuits, or the round filled biscuits. Family and friends are also having the same problem, so I have decided to give you both options and you can decide what you prefer yourself. When developing this recipe I wanted a “bite size” biscuit, something small…
If you are a bread lover like me, and make your own sourdough, then you are going to want to try this. I am a member of a FB group called Perfect Sourdough (see here) … anyone can join … it is run by Teresa Greenway who offers on-line sourdough classes, and I love being…
This recipe was first created by Gerard Yaxley of Qom Restaurant, Sunshine Coast, some years ago and was converted to the Thermomix by the Victorian arm of Thermomix consultants (see here). It is a lovely dessert cake, but some people have had varied success in making it finding that the batter may not always cook…
