One of the good things about going through difficult times is that it teaches you what matters most. For me, it’s making stuff, quiet time – and time with family and close friends. And pets. Them too. And also…

Sometimes there is nothing better than putting the radio on the 80s only station and making delicious things..!…
I love op shop cookbooks. They’ve been around the block a few times AND they don’t subscribe to current foodie fashions. Phew to that.…
I’ve been eating this for breakfast a lot and and it’s delicious and maybe you want to eat it too?! It’s meant to be fluffy and rustic and full of delicious spicy flavour. And guess what? It is all those…
I just made this for a very late-lunch. I used to make it for the kiddos all the gosh-darned time when we lived in Fitzroy, but haven’t made it for an age. Today was the day. I KNOW! Woot!…
Yesterday a friend was talking about beachy holiday food, and I was writing about the kinds of things that felt beachy and holiday-ish and foodie to me (and other people were doing that too!)…
How was your weekend?…
In today’s very first episode of How Good Is? I am quite keen to talk about Korean BBQ. How Good Is… Korean BBQ?! We went out for Korean BBQ on Tuesday night for Ari’s birthday (he turned seventeen!) and…
Crêpes are the kind of “sometimes food” that really are better off as an all times food. For one, if you are doing them right, they are super thin. So thin as almost to be non-existent. And two, because…
(Apart from ACTUAL Christmas) Sometimes I think watching the right kind of TV cooking specials is almost as good as having your own amazing Christmas. I mean, take Nigella’s for instance. I just watched a program where she smiled…
I am in love with this cute, whimsical foodie series. Alice In Paris is part Amelie, part Food Lover’s Guide and totally adorable. If you, like me, wish you were in Paris right now. If you think about pastries…
Enamel mugs. Who can resist them? Personally, I can’t. Especially if they are personalised. Even if they are not personalised. I love ’em all. (Unless they have spiders or something like that on them.) Not only do enamel mugs feel…
Do you know about The Little Library Cafe? It’s a really ace blog by Kate, featuring gazillions of recipes from literature and little stories to go with them. I have been reading this for quite a while, since I…
While I was squirrelling around on the internet, I found Kikko’s amazing Instagram account and work. It never fails to make my heart pang when people are so good at making cute and beautiful things. I thought you…
Can you say Brioche Buns? Is it an oxymoron? Someone will tell me if so. It’s THE INTERNET, after all. Perhaps it is an oxymoron, but what I am trying to tell you is that this is a brioche…
My friends Molly and Michelle have their very own chocolate bars!!! Look at those words. Can you even believe it?! I found out about this marvellous turn of events at the launch of Care Packages last night. The…
If you want to send me noods, this is the kind of thing I’m into. Just in case you need to know that. I love cold noodles of many kinds. These are the kind I made today. I am…
Gosh. I’m such a helpful lass, aren’t I? If you are as hungry as I am now that the weather is cooling down, you might need some new things to whip up in the kitchen. It’s okay because…
My mother-in-law Dure used to bring bags of Madeleines home from her restaurant when Rin was a baby. They’d have been cooked the day before – so could not be served to diners – but were still super delicious and…
These pancakes are a quick and easy gluten-free alternative to (my favourite) roti, when it comes to curry dipping or wrapping. They are best on the day they are made, but that’s okay because they are super easy…
Sometimes I make coconut ice for famous people. Once, it was for Chris Isaak. Another time it was for Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone. You can hear more about that on the radio or online today at 2pm Melbourne…
I’ve had a really busy few days. On Friday I helped Spotlight launch National Craft Month (with a bunch of really lovely creative people.) It was a snack/demo/make fest in a gorgeous little restaurant at the end of…
I am a bit obsessed with this soup at the moment. It has the ability to not only satisfy my hunger, it also makes me feel really good and warm and virtuous and healthy and calm. It’s pretty…
One of the things I love about FOOD is how good it can make you feel. Thinking about food, planning snacks, shopping for ingredients, preparing meals, eating it all up. These are things I love. At our house,…
Christmas Day food is my favourite, but I really like eating it on Boxing Day, rather than Christmas Day, if that makes sense. While I like the pomp and ceremony of the 25th, I love the 26th. It…
Elvis was renowned for his fried peanut butter sandwiches. That, most of us know. But in The Life And Cuisine Of Elvis Presley, there is another sandwich that EP favoured and there is not a peanut in sight. This…
