Anita’s Homemade Granola
I’ve never been much of a fan of most breakfast type cereals, including muesli and porridge, but one day Thomas Dux was handing out little trials of granola and yoghurt. Both...
Seedy Crisps – Daring Bakers Challenge July 2012
Our July 2012 Daring Bakers’ Host was Dana McFarland and she challenged us to make homemade crackers! Dana showed us some techniques for making crackers and encouraged to use our...
Sourdough – Update from December Daring Bakers Challenge
I made the sourdough from the December Daring Bakers Challenge very soon after my last post about it. Although it did not really turn out particularly well, so I sort of held back...
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...
Vegetable Rolls
Now, I don’t suppose you could call anything with puff pastry healthy. Although, you could say this is healthier than the normal sausage roll. These vegie rolls are packed full of...
Spinach and Sour Cream Dip
This dip is high on the list of dips we make for parties. Even though it may not sound the tastiest (with a packet of spinach in it) – it really is quite lovely. Even those who...
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
I love scones. Almost nothing is as good as jam and whipped cream on some fresh scones. Even better is when they’re so quick and easy to make – and these ones surely are. They...

Caramelised Onion Tart
Now what am I supposed to do with 10kg of onions? Some may think it’s a little crazy to buy 10kg of onions – especially for me who really didn’t fancy them and used to pick them...
Spicy Pumpkin Bread
Nick loves making breads… Naan bread , tortillas , bread rolls… and I love eating bread!!!! Therefore, I would say we work very well together 🙂 So when Nick said he wanted to make...
Coconut and Cardamon Burfi
If you’re still not full after that entire banquet, perhaps you should make a few more naan breads, as this Indian sweet won’t fill you up, but it will end the meal very nicely.
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...
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...
Banana Bread
I don’t like wasting food. I try to eat all fruit and veggies before they start turning bad, but sometimes other things come up and I forget about them. Luckily, with bananas...
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...
Dukkah
I am becoming quite adventurous when it comes to trying new foods, although a few years ago I wasn’t the most adventurous eater. Nick and I were out for a lovely dinner out on...
Corn Bread
After seeing corn bread being made on Food Safari for their USA episode, Nick was inspired to make some. We saw versions using corn kernels, corn off the cob and creamed corn. The...

My sisters and I have wanted to join a cooking class to learn some new cooking techniques and recipes as well as meeting a few new people and having a great time. Although with...
