I was a total Mexican food junkie a few years back and this dish was a staple in my repertoire. The spice fetish got sidelined when the kids came along, but I’m becoming more adventurous again now that they are too. This is also great as a vegetarian dish – just skip the chicken and...

These muffins have quite a grown-up flavour - from all the lovely fresh ginger - but that hasn't stopped Sprog 1 scoffing them for morning tea this week. I treated myself to a bite of one, and it was gooood. Recipe: Ginger and sour cream muffins 125g butter, softened 1 cup brown sugar 2 eggs... Continue Reading →

I made these a few days before leaving for Newcastle to use the coriander, cabbage, ginger and garlic wilting in the fridge. They were YUMMY. They're based on a Chinese dish called Lion's Head Meatballs, so-called because the cooked meatballs resemble lions' heads, with the cabbage representing their tails. They're traditionally made with pork, but... Continue Reading →
I've been blogging for more than a year now and still haven't quite got my head around how close-knit the community can be. Last weekend, I finally organised my very first face-to-face with a fellow blogger. Pink Patent Mary Janes and I met for a drink or three. It was weird to sit in a bar... Continue Reading →
