Poulet a la moutarde de Dijon – Chicken with a Dijon Mustard Sauce
My interpretation of a classic French dish from the Burgundy region. The sauce is really moorish, I couldn’t get enough of it.
Mother’s Day – Apple Shortcake
Mother’s Day is a great opportunity to take some time out and celebrate the great work done by mothers. The late nights pasting glitter onto poster boards, early taxiing children to sports or music and the endless dedication and sacrifice. My mother is in another state so I don’t get to spend time with her...
MasterChef Caption Contest
Inspired by the mad skills displayed on MasterChef I was inspired to light my sugar packets alight. I challenge you to create a great caption for this photo. Please add your caption in the comments (sorry I have no prizes)
Long Weekend Cooking – Caramel Parfait Glace with Salted Peanut Caramel and Milk Chocolate Mousse
How good was the long weekend. Five consecutive days off should happen more often. As promised over the break I got into a little cooking. It was rather convenient as the weather was pretty poor. Ever since it aired on TV last year I have been wanting to cook the Caramel Parfait Glace. This was...
Knotted Bread Treats – Lye Pretzels
Oh yeah its long weekend time!!! It is such a great day when you leave work on a Thursday and you know you won’t be back until next Wednesday. Clearly it’s time for some H-core eating. I’ve been slack again and haven’t blogged for a while (I am pretty sure I have apologised for that...
Furniture Shopping Cuisine – Köttbullar – Swedish IKEA Meatballs
Last weekend I was in need of a small coffee table so I decided to brave the crowds at IKEA, Rhodes. It was a bit rainy out so I think half of Sydney had the same idea so I had to circle the very cramped car park stalking patrons until a park became free. Upon...
Austray-Ya Day! – Kangaroo Tataki with Ponzu Sauce
Sadly, this year I missed Australia Day because I was in a jet lag induced coma, whereas usually I would have an alcohol induced coma. So to compensate I declared that Saturday would be my own personal National Day.
It’s Brinner Time – Breakfast Burritos
I have talked before about my love for Brinner (for those who are uneducated, it is breakfast for dinner). Brinner has a lot of charm as you can enjoy all those breakfast foods when you have time to prepare them, time to go shopping and most importantly are not hung over. Sometimes I dream about...
Yay New Camera – Tangy Honey & Mustard Chicken
W00t W00t I have my first DSLR Camera. I have made the plunge. After an unsuccessful attempt to score one as a Christmas present (even after heavy suggestions for much of November and December), I have made the plunge and purchased one. I have spent the last three days going to every website, camera shop...
New Years Resolution – Grilled Trout with Lemon and Parsley
I have awarded myself the illustrious title of World’s Most Negligent Blogger. I have left my blog unattended for just over two months. If I had done the same with a puppy or a kitten the RSPCA would have locked me up for sure. I would love to write a great story about how I...
The 24 Hour Bug – Chocolate, Pandan and Coconut Tiramisu
Why is it that when you plan something, get excited, make preparations, get more excited and then go to bed you always wake up the next day sick. Somehow the 24 hour bug knows when to strike. It must be written into the damn virus’ genetic code. It sits dormant in your body until expectation...
The Fleeting Pleasure of Food – Bibimbap
Food is an amazing medium. It is both an impermanent and permanent form of art. Its presence is so fleeting that soon after it is created it is consumed by some hungry monster at the end of the table. However it remains a very permanent fixture in our lives as we all must eat to...
