I’d never cooked beetroot before, so when I saw this recipe I thought that – apart from looking tasty! – was reason enough to try it. Ingredients 6 beetroot bulbs 2/3 cup walnuts 1/2 red onion (chopped finely) 1/3 cup continental parsley (chopped) 70g baby spinach leaves 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tbs lemon juice…
I made this especially for a girlfriend’s birthday and honestly don’t know why I’ve never made a cheesecake before because it was so easy. They’re one of my favourite cakes. This is a Jamie Oliver recipe, except his had a blueberry topping. Notes I almost forgot to add the zest he recommends, and it really…
This is a modified Nigella Lawson recipe. I’ve halved the ingredients she specified in hers, and this was still enough to feed us for ages. ‘Us’ meaning Adam and I. The kids weren’t all that enthused. Their loss, really. Ingredients White or savoy cabbage, 500g before trimming 1 carrot 1 sticks celery 2 spring onions…
My goodness, I’ve eaten a lot of these in my lifetime. I mean, a lot. I love them. And now I know how to make them, this could be a little dangerous! Ingredients 3/4 cup plain flour 1/3 desiccated coconut 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar 90g melted butter 395g can sweetened condensed milk 60…
There will be no recipe today. This turkish delight making experience is being mentioned purely for the sake of posterity and accountability, but rest assured in every other sense it is being struck from the record. All memories shall be suppressed. I mean, look at it. This doesn’t even look like turkish delight, does…
I loved Strawberry Shortcake – the cartoon character – when I was little, and even think I’ve eaten the real deal (the cake, not a plastic figurine) once. But I’ve never made it. A girlfriend recently dropped over a bag of delicious cherries she’d picked and I thought – well, that could work! Ingredients 1…
I’m told that ‘aglio e olio’ means ‘garlic and oil’ in Italian and there’s not a whole else besides in this dish. I found the recipe in a vegetarian cookbook, but I’m sure its one of those that can – and has – been amended according to taste and availability of ingredients. My version was…
We decided to do some things a little differently for this Malaysia Kitchen experience. First, we would go out for dinner, not lunch. Second, we invited a family of our friends to accompany us. Total number of eaters? Eight. Very doable. After weeks of indecision (to which my friend can attest) I finally settled on…
I don’t think we could’ve picked a more beautiful day to go into the city for our next Malaysia Kitchen experience. Here’s a confession that as a Melburnian I’m rather ashamed to make: I’ve never been to the Docklands before. Driven past, yes. Visited, no. So as we walked by the water to drum up…
