Soufflés have a reputation for being difficult that they don’t deserve. It’s literally a 20 minute endeavour to get a soufflé on the table as I learned recently at a dessert cooking course my sister booked me into as a Christmas present. The course was magnificent, I spent the afternoon poaching strawberries in dessert wine and {Tags: Dessert, Egg, French, Gourmet, Homestyle} {More...}

Tonight’s dinner was pasta with Arrabiata sauce and meatballs; a really, really simple meal. What makes this blog-worthy (at least as far as I’m concerned) is that the meal was simple not just because it had few ingredients and was not challenging to make, it was made out of incredibly high quality ingredients that had {Tags: Beef, Biodymanic, Italian, Pasta} {More...}

Making your own sushi is nowhere near as hard as you’ve been led to believe. A lot of people worry about how hard it is to roll sushi rolls, you may have heard weird horror stories and you may have even seen that this non-problem solved with a sushi rolling machine.

On our national day I’m writing a few words about our national emblem and how delicious it is. You should know how to select, cook, serve and eat roo and you should do it regularly because it contains 200% of your recommended daily intake (RDI) of awesome.

On the previous incarnation of this site I wrote about the Jamie Oliver iPhone app “20 minute meals” and how much of an epic bargain it is. It’s been updated in the last few weeks, with five extra recipes and a couple of other features.
