Asparagus, Broad Bean and Poached Egg Tart
Asparagus is on a great special at the moment in the shops and is tasting fantastic too. I always like using fresh, seasonal ingredients, because not only do they have an amazing...
Ciabatta Bread

The September 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Mandy of “ What the Fruitcake?! ” Mandy challenged everyone to make Decorated Sugar Cookies based on recipes from Peggy...
Pizza Wheels
These pizza wheels go so fast at any party we’ve had. They can be made non-vegetarian by adding some chopped ham or salami. I love them, and there’s not much more I really have to...
Steamed Barbecued Pork Buns – Char Siu Bao
Happy Chinese New Year! The year of the Tiger has just begun and I decided to celebrate by making my first ever steamed barbeque pork buns. The thing I love about barbecued pork...
Scones

Feta and Ricotta Stuffed Tomatoes and Asparagus, Bacon and Parmesan Pasta – Cooking Class 11
Another cooking class, another new recipe (or two, possibly three – in this case). Trying to fit quite a number of people in a small kitchen, all trying to find something to help...
French Onion Soup

Caramelised Onion Tart

Spicy Pumpkin Bread

Fajitas and Tortillas
Now when it came to making some Fajita’s and homemade Tortillas, we went straight to the internet to see what advice there was and how easy tortillas were to make (we had made...
Naan Bread
A lot of trial and error has gone into making naan breads at our place. Salt quantity, rising time, trying to figure out how to cook naan bread in an Australian kitchen… We have...
Cucumber Mint Raita
I love Indian Food!!! As I’m not fond of hot and/or very spicy food, many people were quite surprised to find out that I do love Indian food. Although I’m not suggesting that I...
Fried Rice
Looking for something easy, quick, tasty and reasonably cheap? Well, fried rice is a good way to use up whatever is left in the fridge and easy to alter the recipe by adding fresh...
Almond and Vanilla Porridge
We all know “someone”, who can’t go past a freebee. Who goes around and around to people handing around free samples just so they can collect as much as possible… Well I know a...
Tomato and Basil Bruschetta
I’m not the best person at remembering to send someone a recipe they’ve asked for. Unless I get reminded or leave an email in my inbox marked as “unread”, it’s unlikely I’ll get...
Pumpkin Soup
Now after all the baking and rich dinners that I cook, it’s only reasonable that once in a while we make something which doesn’t contain loads of carbs or sugar. Many of you may...
