If a (wo)man is known by the company (s)he keeps, then I am amazing. Honestly, I’m kind, clever, talented, creative, wise, funny and ridiculously good looking. All my friends are. One of those friends – the kind, clever, talented, wise, funny, ridiculously good looking Amanda from Cooker and a Looker – invited me to contribute…
Paleo chocolate, banana and zucchini muffins
Okay, so these muffins are not really 15,000 years old, but the original recipe I got them from is billed as one of those paleo recipes, so I figured it must be very, very, very old. I don’t really mean to mock the whole paleo thing, not the least bit because I’ve heard if you are…
Best-ever tasty meatballs with romesco dipping sauce
If you have never had the pleasure of dipping into a romesco sauce, now is the time. This is a Catalan dish, full of robust flavours like roasted capsicum, almond, paprika and garlic. It’s somehow moreish and deeply satisfying at the same time. Though here I’ve chosen to serve it as a dipping sauce for the…
Chocolate pannetone pudding
Have I told you that my very good husband likes baking? Don’t get me wrong, he’s not in the kitchen every Sunday whipping up baked goods for the week or anything (just putting that out there for when he reads this), but he likes to turn out a bread, cake or pudding on special occasions….
Lovely old-fashioned pound cake
When we think of ‘cake’, this is the cake that we’re thinking of. That yellow slab of rich, buttery goodness that is the old-fashioned ‘pound’ cake. The pound cake was named after the classic 1:1:1:1 pound of flour, butter, sugar and eggs, but the recipe has been refined over time and the doorstop slabs of…
Tomates farcies
We are madly saving for a big family trip to Paris in December. Oh how we love France, especially the food. In preparation for the big trip I’ve been reading French Kids Eat Everything by Karen Le Billon. It was recommended to me by my friend Shannon and while Karen Le Billon is not actually…
Making passata
My kids are the luckiest ducks in Ducktown because they happen to be half-Italian and being half-Italian means they have a Nonna and a Nonno who teach them all kinds of wonderful Italiany things. Last weekend was Passata Day (or week, as Nonno likes to pace himself these days). The kids fronted up with Bartolo…
10 lovely afternoon snacks
Afternoon tea time is a bit deal at my place. It’s a time of winding down together after the busyness of the school run. Refueling, regrouping and deciding what we’re going to do for the rest of the day. There’s a certain formality about our afternoon tea. It’s important to me that we don’t feel…
Blog World Tour 2013: Feeling hungry
Have you got your seatbelt on for this leg of the Blog World Tour journey? Are you sure? Definitely got that belt on? Do you need me to come into the back and check? Oh-kay then! I thought we might put a little foodie spin on our tour today, so let’s start at one of…
Pin of the Day: Spicy chicken meatballs
I confess that I pinned this one because I adore the way this image looks. I love the styling, I love the fonts… I just love. The Kitchy Kitchen gives good styling. Of course, the food looks good too, huh? I will try this one out on la famiglia, but I’ll tone down the arrabiata…
