Tonight number one son took himself out for dinner, and sons two and three begged for noodles because I was very late home, so I decided to try a recipe I’d been salivating over for a while: Adam Liaw’s coriander and coconut chicken. Coriander is a divisive little number – you either love it or… Continue reading Recipe test: Adam Liaw’s Coconut and Coriander Chicken
Hello friends! Some of you will know that I’ve been working away in Melbourne for a long time – which didn’t let me cook during the week and I was busy playing catch up on the weekends. But I’m home now and have my mojo back, and I’m starting up my blog again. I hope… Continue reading Recipe Test: Thai Fish Cakes with Cucumber Relish
The perfect summer meal – although I did make it on a cold rainy old day today! You can serve the chilli on the side on a platter and let everyone help themselves, and adjust the dressing to suit little tastebuds, although I think the sweet chilli is just about right for most kids (perhaps… Continue reading Vietnamese Chicken Coleslaw

There is a stall at the Willunga Farmer’s Market with plump eggplants, capsicums and zucchinis for a dollar each, so I bought some to make ratatouille – so easy. Awesome because:… Continue reading Ratatouille
Tonight’s recipe was inspired by the beautiful home-grown zucchinis from my friend Jodie’s garden, and my current obsession with mint from my herb beds. I’m not overly fond of eggy dishes, so using the ricotta (you can use low-fat) cuts through the egg and makes the dish light and moist. This dish is awesome because:… Continue reading Zucchini, Ricotta and Mint Frittata
Tonight’s recipe for pineapple fried rice – was inspired by half a tin of pineapple and ham left over from last night’s homemade pizzas. You can use fresh pineapple too, it’s delicious! It’s a great way to use up veggies that we usually all have in the fridge (I absolutely hate waste). It’s filling, low… Continue reading Thai Pineapple Fried Rice
