I’ll be the first to admit, I am a gadget junkie. This weekend I stepped inside the mall and stepped out with an electric groom tool and a soft serve ice cream maker. It really didn’t matter that even the salesman tried to dissuade me to get the groom tool or that I had previously bought [...]

“Are you trying to kill me?” My husband asked as I put a plate infront of him. “Ha! Not yet.” I told him. “I have get some life insurance on you first!” The reason for his outburst was because infront of him was this toast, slathered with a caramelized coconut custard and a considerable amount [...]
Finding Inspiration, Berry Tiramisu and a giveaway
Posted in Cook, tagged berries, bourke street bakery, desserts, donna hay, giveaway, thermomix, tiramisu on October 11, 2010 | 74 Comments »
I’ve been distracted and uninspired lately. Distracted because my husband and I have been house hunting and where normally my weekends have been spent baking or cooking in my kitchen, we’re now spending them in other people’s kitchens during open inspections. Just the thought of moving has been both exciting and stressful at the same [...]
Dare Me …. Tomislav’s Basmati Risotto with Prawns

Is it persistence or stubbornness? Maybe both? When I have an idea in my head, I’ll do whatever it takes to get it (all within legal means of course!) and I never back down from a dare. Ever. Every now and again these two traits can get me into trouble. Like the time I confidently [...]
Slow Poached Eggs and Hollandaise on the Thermomix – is it cheating?
Posted in Cook, tagged hollandaise, poached egg, thermomix on September 30, 2010 | 47 Comments »
A few weeks ago our washing machine broke. After 5 years the old fella decided to call it a day. My husband and I went shopping for a new one on a Sunday and were informed that someone would call on Monday to let us know when the delivery could be arranged. Monday came and [...]

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but growing up, I certainly enjoyed the many perks of my family owning a Spanish restaurant. Probably top of the list was being able to order anything I wanted from the menu. With each visit I’d try to order a different dish for my main course but [...]
Almond Croissants – When life gives you leftovers….

With my Mom (the Blog Monster) around, many leftovers have come back to life. Just the other day I was complaining that I didn’t have any space for the chicken stock I had made (as I’ve said before, fridge space is the most coveted real estate in my house) and so I ransacked the freezer [...]

In the realm of shameless – this possibly sits in the top 10 for me. This is not a story of how my husband proposed marriage . But this is a story of how I faked a proposal to get into one of Neil Perry’s restaurants. A few weeks after his famed Spice Temple opened [...]
Zucchini and Orange Marmalade Tea Cake with Pine Nuts

I’ll admit, I am a creature of habit. I can go for weeks having the same chicken schnitzel wrap for lunch (to a point where I am walking towards the sandwich shop and they will start preparing the wrap for me). Probably, my most un-blogger like behaviour is my ability to go to the same [...]
Lychee Sorbet on the Thermomix…

Thermomix I saw it… I wanted it… TANTRUM I got it… Now… I know it sounds bratty… and it sounds like I had a major tantrum to get my latest (and promise, my very very last) kitchen appliance/luxury but, friends, when you want something, you gotta pull out all the stops for it… and this [...]
