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…
As I’ve mentioned previously, my mum must abide by a gluten-free diet for medical reasons. Hence the baker in me has been pushed to try out gluten-free sweets. Most gluten-free cakes taste grainy & leave an unsavory residue in your mouth but these are amazing. They’re from Justin North’s FAMILY COOKING book and they are…
I’d never made home made sausage rolls at home but this recipe was so easy (because I used my mini food processor whenever the recipe said to ‘chop’ or ‘grate’). And the flavours and textures were unlike any sausage roll I’d ever eaten in my life. I’ll be making these again at some stage –…
Apologies to those who are holding out for some delicious food pictures. Trust me – there will be a delicious Japanese post up soon.. For now though, with my second baby’s arrival potentially 2.5 weeks away, I’m hurriedly trying to pack my hospital bag, get the baby’s clothes in order, and finish up the nursery…

As an ABC (Australian Born Chinese), I’ve always associated claypot cooking as a complex and refined Malaysian art form. Don’t ask me why! But anyway – when I found this recipe in Billy Law’s first cookbook Have You Eaten?, I knew that I couldn’t let my induction cooktop deter me so got out my camping…
Maybe five or so years ago, my mother discovered that she was intolerant to gluten. We wouldn’t have believed it but by simply cutting out the gluten in her diet, she was able to walk again, without the assistance of a walking aid. It literally freed her of arthritis. And so last week, when we…
I’ve yet to travel to New York but it’s definitely sitting there on my bucket list as far as travel adventures go. But when I think about baking and New York, I always think about The Magnolia Bakery – possibly because I used to be obsessed with Sex And The City as well as The…
There’s something luxurious and decadent about lazy Sunday mornings with the family. And with my burgeoning foodie of a son, he was happy to put his breakfast schedule on hold for half an hour last weekend to allow us to whip up some tasty blueberry pancakes together whilst Daddy indulged in a few more precious…
