‘Sausage’ and scramble breakfast

Breakfast is one of my favourite meals and I love trying to cook different things at home as well as we when eat out. We don’t tend to eat out too often (because we think we eat well at home :)) but when we do it is often for breakfast. […]

Chicken laksa

Going back to work after 12 months leave (I know, lucky me) has meant a few changes in our house. Little Miss (our gorgeous puppy) has lost her automatic door opener (me) throughout the day, G has to help with the housework a little bit more and […]

Spaghettini with meatballs

Throughout my childhood and many of my teenage years I was a competitive swimmer. This meant that I consumed large quantities of complex carbohydrates to fuel my body for the long training hours. One of the most frequent things that I used to eat was pasta. I think that was […]

Lamb with quinoa and roasted pumpkin

Continuing to support our commitment to eating healthy throughout the winter months I have been searching for recipes that will serve our purpose. The problem I often find with low-fat, dairy free, wheat free meals is that while they might be a healthier alternative they can often lack in flavour. […]

Fettuccini with roast pumpkin, pancetta and peas

I’ve been making pasta for a little while now. For my Birthday last year I was given some gift vouchers to kitchenware stores from many friends (sincere thanks to you all). Late last year I finally decided that I really wanted the pasta attachments to add to my Kitchen Aid […]

Chicken tortellini my way

I know this photo doesn’t look like tortellini but I encourage you read on to discover the whole story.

Sometimes disasters in the kitchen can be devastating. That is one of the reasons I test my recipes for my classes several times before teaching them. However, other times they […]

Lamb koftas

I generally have a few staple dinners that I cook during the week. You know what I mean, those dishes that you know take minimum time to prepare and taste great for what they are. Lately though, I have been trying to make sure that I cook a few different things. That, combined […]
