I had an attempt at a vegetarian dinner the other week. It didn’t go down that well with the family but I really enjoyed this pasta. It’s a recipe from Nigella’s Italian cookbook – Nigellissima – and it’s really really simple and can be whipped up in no time at all. Definitely one to keep…
Miss Korea Kitchen & Grill has been open for just under a month. Last week, we decided to stop by for some lunch. When we walked in it was empty, bar one table. It was fitted out with the same aesthetic of most modern Korean restaurants these days and reminded us of Seoul Soul in…
Unlike Melbourne’s CBD, Hawthorn doesn’t have any famous alleyways that I’m aware of – but I have a feeling that Luton Lane’s going to get famous with Le Grill’s chic entrance round the back of Nevermind Bar. Le Grill is unpretentious. It is what it is. It’s a super chic 40-seat diner with a huge,…
This month we tried out Menulog’s online home delivery service. Menulog has over 3500 restaurants Australia-wide on its database and what’s really unique is that they have a huge array of special offers & discounts running all day every day. In fact, they had so many restaurants and so many unique offers available that I…
My father-in-law turned down an invite to dinner on the evening I made this and when he sees this post.. I know that he will be filled with remorse. This was the most phenomenal tuna dish that I have ever made. The recipe is simple. The cooking time is quick. And if you hunt down…
The super friendly team at Hammer & Tong’s new food truck were a little shocked to hear that we’d never actually eaten from a food truck before. Sure, we’ve watched nearly every season of Tyler Florence’s The Great Food Truck Race but we always knew it would take a lot to convert us from our…
Last month, Melbourne’s third Peruvian restaurant opened smack bang in the middle of the CBD. Pastuso has been started up by the group that opened the highly successful Argentinian beef house, San Telmo, almost 3 years ago. They’ve brought in world-renowned Peruvian chef, Alejandro Saravia of Sydney’s Morena and due to the quality of the…
Kopan Grill, a family owned & operated restaurant, opened up a few months ago very close to the Camberwell train station. We tried it out last month and were thoroughly impressed that such an amazing Korean & Japanese place is within walking distance from our humble abode. We stopped there for lunch but look forward…
This is a recipe that I tend to make at least once a month. It’s an adaptation from Nigella’s Nigella Express cookbook – namely her ‘Mustard Pork Chops’ recipe. Because I’m a mother and sometimes don’t have time, I’ve got a decent selection of protein stored in my freezers – yes I’ve got two of…
My husband loves chicken so it’s something I tend to cook for the family several times a week. And although there are numerous recipes on my evening rotation, sometimes it’s nice to mix things up a bit. Remember how I let my husband flick through some recipe books a couple of weeks ago? Well he…
