One of the great things about living here in Melbourne is that we are surrounded by a rich and diverse food landscape. Hence, Melbourne has often been referred to as a 'melting pot' as the subsequent waves of immigration over the last century have co (read full article)
I've been making Marcella's simple, yet exquisite tomato sauce for years, but never thought to blog about it until recently. You see I just so happened to mention on twitter that I was about to throw a tin of San Marzano tomatoes into a saucepan with (read full article)
My sister and I recently spent a lazy Sunday afternoon in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. It was lovely to catch up and chill and have a decent, uninterrupted conversation minus our children! Oh and to drink wine mid-afternoon, how so very non-maternal an (read full article)
I was thrilled when I eventually stumbled across Anissa Helou's recipe for pistachio nut ice cream, because her recipe is one of the few that doesn't use almond essence. I have no idea why people insist on adding almond essence to pistachio ice cream (read full article)
During the Summer holidays Hoover was determined to learn how to knit. Both my mum and my sister knit, I on the other hand don't. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I haven't knitted in almost twenty-five years. I know it's a crying shame and my mu (read full article)
We were only in Nice for a couple of nights, yet there were two very important things that I wanted to accomplish in that short space of time. Firstly, I wanted to visit the Cours Saleya Market in the heart of Old Town and secondly, I desperately wan (read full article)
One of the ways I deal with rejection is to busy myself with multiple tasks and numerous new ventures. Yes, some of the more enlightened ones among us would refer to this as 'denial' but hey, it's my denial so I guess I'm entitled to outwork it my wa (read full article)
My first attempt at Violet Crumble was a dismal failure as the honeycomb refused to set and harden despite following the recipe to the letter. I poked and prodded at the gooey mass for a good half an hour before calling Stephen in desperation for adv (read full article)
I love the way these big, beautiful pasta shells hold pesto and all sorts of other flavours inside their cavity. Each mouthful is hidden with surprise, bursting with texture, taste and crunch.Even my most pernickety child loved this dish, so much so (read full article)
The other day I put forward the question over on my Facebook wall 'What to do with all those frozen berries that are safely ensconced in my freezer drawer'? To my utter delight you came back with a whole list of interesting and diverse suggestions in (read full article)
I'm the type of person who feels like a complete failure unless there is a good loaf of bread in the pantry for my family to go nibble on and enjoy. So I endeavor to ensure that there is always a good loaf of bread in the house at all times. I think (read full article)
This is one of my favourite dips at the moment and it's also very popular at apéritif and cocktail hour around these parts. I love the smokiness of the roasted red bell peppers and the texture that the walnuts bring. The intensity of the pomegranate (read full article)
One thing I have noticed of late is that Stephen and Fussy are both obsessed with certain flavours. They both love double salted Dutch licorice and sour snakes. They also love mint slice biscuits and blood orange sorbet.Their greatest 'shared' indulg (read full article)
During the summer months we tend to spend a lot more time outdoors, as the evenings are warmer and it's lighter for much longer. The children love to play in the back yard, jumping like crazy monkeys on the trampoline for hours on end while we sensib (read full article)
I have all my side of the family coming over to our house for dinner this Christmas Eve so it will be loud, chaotic and very Maltese. Hence, I wanted to try and keep it simple food wise, so I plan to make a couple of one dish wonders yet again. There (read full article)
Now that you all know that my name is Nanette I thought for the sake of ease I would no longer refer to the father of my children as Huxley, but instead use his real name - Stephen. I'm going to continue to refer to the children as Hoover and F (read full article)
