New York City is like one great big meal. A bit extravagant, somewhat pricey, but overall an unforgettable experience. So what makes New York so special to me? Like any great meal, each dish has to be well executed, a little bit edgy, sometimes unexpected, each plate should be unique but complementary to the whole [...]

In my previous visits to Madrid, I have always had this impression that this city had such a deep and long-standing history with food. In fact, many of the well known restaurants in Madrid (such as Lhardy, Casa Botin & La Bola) have been around for over a hundred years. It feels like you are [...]

Today I received an email from my Dad, telling me that my two labradors were fine… that is… “fine but undisciplined”. When I read this I showed the note to my husband and we both agreed my Dad was wrong. Sure, they have had their share of accidents, but we firmly believe that they are [...]

“Step away from the fridge! ” I barked at my husband. “It’s wired!” I continued. “You’ve just picked up the bottle of water. We’ve got five seconds before we’re charged. We can still salvage the situation. Put the bottle down and slowly close the fridge.” I added. And this begins our first day in Paris.
Salt Cod with Red Pepper Sauce (Bacalao a la Vizcaina)

It seems to me that in Australia, one of the staple Easter treats, are hot cross buns. In my family, it’s Bacalao a la Vizcaina. Every Easter, particularly, on Good Friday, this is the one dish, we all looked forward to having. Growing up, the idea was that on this particular Friday, we were required [...]

She’s Back!… It feels like only yesterday that I introduced you to the Blog Monster and was sharing some of her lovely recipes. And my Mom’s coming back tomorrow and I can’t wait! I thought that the best way to welcome her was with a freshly baked babka which I took from the Australian Gourmet Traveller April [...]
