There’s nothing better than sausage rolls for lunch. J has a thing for bakery sausage rolls, you could say that he’s a connoisseur. We have two bakeries in our tiny town, I used to work at one of them, The Bakehouse, so you could say that I had an alliance to that bakery. At this […]

For The Love of Quinoa
I might be a little late to jump on this bandwagon but I’ve recently fallen in love with quinoa. I was inspired by this post, cooked up a big batch and have been using it in everything ever since. I’ve been making ‘porridge’ with 1/3 cup cooked quinoa, an ice cube of coconut milk, a […]
Potato and Rosemary Pizza with Broccoli Pesto
Not too long ago, I posted a picture on Instagram. It was of the last slice of an amazing home-made sour-dough pizza that I had intended to blog about, but it was so delicious that it all got eaten before any photos were taken (does that ever happen to you?).So we decided to replicate it. Sadly […]
Broad Bean Pasta with Parmesan
J hadn’t really ever had a vegetable garden until we started our small plot here, and I suppose this also leads on to the fact that he hadn’t eaten a lot of vegetables straight from the plant. This year I’ve been able to see the joy on his face as he watches things grow from […]
Homemade Pizza Bases
I’m away at the moment adventuring, but really wanted to share this amazing pizza recipe with you. Enjoy!I don’t like too many toppings, just a couple for me. A delicious homemade sauce, maybe BBQ, some cheese, a vegetable or two and maybe even some local free range meat. I like a reasonably thick base, not […]
Guest Post: Harvest Veggie Stew
The blogging community is really a wonderful place. With only 3 weeks before our 5 week long trip in Nepal, I realised that I needed to sort something out for my blog. Heather is wonderful and jumped at the opportunity to share an Autumnal Recipe from where it is currently Summer. I look forward to […]
Moroccan Carrot Dip
A small barn, no bigger than our kitchen, tables line the walls, a small selection of vegetables sitting atop them. The Buy Bellarine Produce barn is where we buy our fruit and vegetables once a week. The market is only open on Saturday’s and only supplies locally grown, seasonal produce. We buy only what they […]
Pumpkin Soup
Winter is definitely in the air down here in (near) Melbourne town. It’s time for snuggling up with cups of tea, soups and stews. I love this time of year, I love rain, I love dressing in layers, and I especially love winter sun. I love soups, creamy, thick, watery, spicy, they’re the best! Before […]
Kids eating vegetables…
I told this story on my last blog, so I’m sorry to those who have already read it, but I love these sausage rolls and I love the story that goes with them! Winter 2009: I was working as a nanny at Falls Creek (one of the few ski resorts in Australia). I looked after […]
Raw Ingredients
The cold and gloomy weather could not keep us inside any more, so yesterday morning we decided to step outside… “shock horror”, you might say, “in this weather?!?!?!” (for those in the Northern Hemisphere, or even just Northern Australia, imagine COLD!) But there was markets to be visited and yummy food to be eaten, so […]
