23.01.2022 Take a look at the latest newsletter from Cooking on the Bay. We are re-opening in February 2021 with some new online classes. You will find some recipes I am cooking here at Cooking on the Bay; dishes perfect for this cooler upcoming weekend - a slow cooking lamb braise, a roasted chicken, rack of lamb, and an eggplant ratatouille Happy Cooking!

23.01.2022 Sunday nights dinner - still plenty of vegetables here - in the frittata there are eggs, cream, bacon, grated cheese, tomatoes, grated zucchini, spring onions and in the salad some carrot, spinach, lettuce, chives, baby beetroot leaves and avocado with vinaigrette dressing of Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil and sea salt and pepper.... very nice comfort food that is fresh and alive as well. #cookingonthebay #cookingonthebaycooksrealfood #cookingonthebaycooksathome #vegetablechallenge #frittata #lchflifestyle #lowcarbhealthyfat #keto #ketomeals #nutritiousfood #nutritiousanddelicious #nutritiousmeals #healthyfoods #cookrealfoodeveryday #cookrealfood #realfood #realfoodhealsthebody

23.01.2022 Coq au Vin cooked in beef stock and red wine...in the classic Burgundian tradition. I cooked this yesterday for my YouTube series for tonight's dinner...so basically I have a night off tonight! the recipe will be on the website and on the YouTube channel...Cook at Home with Tonya! you could cook it tomorrow!

23.01.2022 Spatchcocking a chicken simply means to remove the backbone or to butterfly the chicken. It is an easy and quick way to roast your chickens and the result is crispy, golden skin and very juicy and tender breast and flesh. You will always roast your chicken like this from now on...give it a try!

22.01.2022 Refreshing start to the day - very different to the weekend with hundreds at the beach! #morningwalk #atthebeach #elwoodbeachwalks #cookingonthebayatthebeach

22.01.2022 All about SALT! This article is about salt - its value to our health, its importance in adding and enhancing flavour to our food and most importantly which salts are the best to consume. As a result of a salt discussion in a Low Carb Healthy Fat seminar I attended last night, I promised to update the group on salt, so I checked, updated and revised the article I wrote in early 2019. It is very interesting and useful, so I am adding it again to my Facebook page for you to enjoy again! I always carry a tiny bottle of Murray River Sea Salt in my handbag, as frequently restaurants do not supply sea salt, only table salt which is very bad for our health!

22.01.2022 First joy of spring and these daffodils and freesias are such happy flowers and those freesias give divine perfume. Spring day one! Very pleased winter has slipped by... #springtimeflowers #springtimejoy #daffodilseason #daffodils #freesias #flowersbringmejoy

22.01.2022 Cauliflower, Cumin, Chilli vegetable soup. Yesterday, I made my usual chicken stock using 5 chicken carcasses, 1 kg of chicken necks, 2 onions, 2 carrot, 1 leek, 2 celery, 2 bay leaves, 10 black peppercorns, 1 tbsp dried thyme, 10 parsley stalks, covered with plenty of water and slowly brought to the simmer and continued with a lazy bubble, what a call a 'blurp, blurp, blurp' for about 14 hours. I skimmed any foam from the surface until there was just this golden, crystal cl...ear liquid gold blurping away on top of the stove. This morning, I used this sensational stock to make this flavoursome cauliflower soup. It was supposed to be just cauliflower, onion, garlic, celery and blue cheese, but instead I added more vegetables, and some herbs and spices making it a 'Vegetable Soup.' I added some cream and seasoned it well with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Michael loved it so much, he asked me to save what I did....so I am adding it to my Recipe Collection here to make on another cold winter's day. I know it is popular to make soup at the end of the week with all your week-old vegetables from the bottom of the fridge. And, I do think that is a great idea instead of wasting them. However, it is really best and most nutritious to cook with your fresh, good quality vegetables, for the best results. Plus, of course to use a great stock. See the recipes for this soup, the Broccoli Pesto and the Dukkah on the website https://www.cookingonthebay.com.au/recipes/ #cookrealfoodeveryday #cookrealfoodeatrealfood #cookingonthebay #cookingonthebaycooksathome #cookingonthebaycookeryschool #cookingonthebaycookingschool #cauliflower #cauliflowersoup #lchflifestyle #lchf #ketomeals #ketorecipes #nutritiousanddelicious #nutritiousfood #realfood #realfoodheals #realfoodheals #createcookcelebraterealfood #wintersoups #soup

22.01.2022 San choy bau - sItting happily in lettuce leaves with the addition of a few extra vegetables has become another regular weekday dinner. Recipe sent to me by my friend Dagmar ... best made in advance to enhance the flavours #sanchoybau #cookrealfoodeveryday #cookrealfoodeatrealfood #cookrealfood #cookingathome #cookingonthebay #cookingonthebaycookingschool #cookingonthebaycookeryschool #cookingonthebaycooksathome #easydinnerideas #easydinner

22.01.2022 Mussels cooked my way! When I make my casual mussel dish at home I use lots of onion, bacon, garlic, tomatoes, white wine, lemon juice, sometimes celery, chilli, even mushrooms and chorizo. Last night I did not add the chorizo, mushrooms or celery. Michael always loves to add cream and so I did! Hence it is not officially any classic French dish that we make in cooking classesit is not a Moules à l’Armoricaine, moules à la Provençal or Moules à la Normande. Possibly a mixture! It is always delicious and as you can see from the photos, I ‘bastardise’ it even further with loads of sauce! Mon Dieu! #moulesmariniere #moules #mussels #musselsinwhitewinesauce #musselsrecipe #cookingathome #cookingonthebay #cookingonthebaycooksathome #cookingonthebaycookeryschool #cookingonthebaycookingschool #musseldinner #musselsmyway #musselsmyfavorite

21.01.2022 Glorious sunset for the last day of winter.... #balconyviews #stkildasunsetsarethebest #sunsetpeace

21.01.2022 Carving the sensational Spanish jamon for our Christmas Day... it is a special talent being shown there!! We bought two James from one of Melbourne’s top restaurant suppliers after all his orders were cancelled in the first Melbourne lockdown in March. We ate 2-3 slices each day of the first jamon, as we worked here at home.. . Such a special treat it was!! We kept the second one for, what we hoped, would be a free and wonderful Christmas Day celebration of all good things... family, life, happiness ... Melbourne we all pulled through! Merry Christmas everyone #jamón #cookingonthebaycooksathome #cookingonthebaycookeryschool #cookingonthebay #jamonespañol #christmasatcookingonthebay

21.01.2022 I made this fish pie for my friend as a birthday present... it is difficult to shop here in Melbourne at the moment! Hers was a large fish pie, crammed with John Dory fish, prawns, scallops and mussels. This small one was for my dinner! Fish pie with mussels and prawns. This is a creamy, comforting pie with tons of flavour and goodness without the crust. I used John Dory, mussels and prawns. You can use any firm-fleshed white fish such as snapper, Ling, Mahi Mahi, or Blue G...renadier; the mussels and prawns may easily be excluded and you can add scallops if you wish. Use the creamy vegetable base and concoct your own flavour combinations. Do not be deterred by the long list of ingredients and instructions; this is a simple straight forward dish. There are a few elements in it that can be cooked at the same time. So do give it a try. You will love it! You will find the recipe here on the website https://www.cookingonthebay.com.au//fish-pie-with-mussels/ And the YouTube video here also on the website https://www.cookingonthebay.com.au/videos-resources/ #fishpie #fishpierecipe #cookingonthebay #cookingonthebaycookeryschool #cookingathome #cookingonthebaycooksathome #lchf #lowcarb #healthylifestyle #ketolifestyle #ketomeals #cookrealfoodeatrealfood #cookrealfood #cookrealfoodeveryday #healthylifestyle #healthyfoodrecipes #cookingschoolsmelbourne

21.01.2022 Heavenly at Brighton beach this morning ... in the last 3 photos at st kilda beach, there were 2 pods of dolphins playing around the little fishing boat.

21.01.2022 Dinner last night - steak with mushroom sauce, oven roasted Aubergines, cumin cauliflower with dukkah, wok tossed greens... mushrooms, cauliflower, Aubergines, kale, broccoli, spring onions, spinach, cabbage ... 10 vegetables... going well for the Vegetable Challenge! #cookingonthebay #cookingonthebaycookingclasses #cookingonthebaycooksathome #cookingonthebaycookeryschool #vegetablechallenge #dinnersathome #eveningdinner @ Cooking on the Bay Cooking School

20.01.2022 Freedom! Our escapades to the country... with my family to Traralgon, and Mirboo North and then to Byaduk, near Hamilton where we spent a heavenly few days escaping with some friends. #escapetothecountry #cookingonthebayinthecountry #cookingonthebay #freedominthecountryside

19.01.2022 Dinner last night was frittata with eggs, cream, salami, onions, cheese, grated zucchini and carrot, tomatoes, red capsicums with a lettuce salad with radishes ... we were craving eggs! A bit casual and thrown together but was enjoyable at the end of another day in my office. It is lucky I love my office and kitchen as that is where I mostly live these days . #frittata #vegetablefrittata #lchf #lchflifestyle #cookrealfood #cookrealfoodeatrealfood #cookrealfoodeveryday #cookrealfoodcookingclasses #cookingonthebay #cookingonthebaycooksathome #cookingonthebaycookingschool #lowcarb #realfood #realfoodheals #realfoodwholelife #realfoodketo #vegetablechallenge #vegetablefood @ Cooking on the Bay Cooking School

17.01.2022 Just Eat Real Food - Cook Real Food!

17.01.2022 Springtime - and the blossoms are out - thank you, Fiona, for sharing your lovely photos.

17.01.2022 Try baking this easy roast one night this week. the preparation is quick and the results are delcious! Prunes and apples always team well with pork, so if you prefer, substitute apples for the prunes. For the pork, you can select various cuts such as female pork neck, pork scotch, a boned, rolled pork shoulder, or even a pork leg. These cuts are delicious as they are fatty and succulent; the fat runs through the meat rather than around it as it does in loins of pork. The sauce made with the prunes, onions, garlic, red wine, chicken stock and cream is also nice with pork chops or any other pork dishes you enjoy eating. All LCHF.

17.01.2022 Fish Dinner last week - sweet and tender flathead tails! I used coconut flour, egg wash and psyllium husks for the coating; could also use ground almonds or walnuts and do that next time. As well as the accompaniment of steamed asparagus, I made a timbale of the old Jewish favourite, cooked brown onions in lots of extra virgin olive oil, mixed with hard boiled eggs. It is also delicious as a finger food and spread onto a slice of sour dough toast. #cookingonthebay #cookingonthebaycooksathome #flatheadtailsfordinner #flatheadtails #eggandonion #jewishfood #shabbatdinnerideas #everydaydinners #cookrealfood #cookrealfoodeatrealfood #cookrealfoodeveryday #lchflifestyle #lchffood #lchfdinner #lchfketo #lchfketofood

16.01.2022 The bathing box is going along well as long as sun shines! Hopefully this one will endure for years!

And me! #happypartnersproject #brightonbeach #brightonbeachmelbourne #brightonbeachbathingboxes #seasidehappytimes #seasidehappyplace #atthebeachtoday #cookingonthebay #cookingonthebayatthebeach #cookingonthebaymelbourne

15.01.2022 This was sent to me by my friend Theresa Le Duc...she laughed and I laughed...so I am sure you will too. Thanks Danny Katz!

15.01.2022 Over the weekend I made this great soup and was really pleased with the result; it was very satisfying, so tasty, and not over-powering at all. Michael, who like many other people, does not like Brussels Sprouts, loved it even after I told him what it was. It was BRUSSELS SPROUTS and Stilton soup and it was very easy and quick to make! I did not take a photo of the result - wish I had as it was so good. By the way, it is pureed! Ingredients 2 tbs olive oil, plus extra to... drizzle 2 onions, chopped 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 2 celery stalks, chopped 3 thyme sprigs, leaves, plus extra as garnish 600g brussels sprouts halved 2L chicken stock Garnish 100g stilton cheese, crumbled 100g crème fraîche Thyme sprigs or chives Extra stilton cheese, crumbled Put the onions in a large, deep saucepan, with the olive oil and butter, place over medium heat, and cook stirring from time to time, after 5 minutes, add celery, garlic and thyme leaves, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes until onion and celery are well softened. Add sprouts and stir to coat in the olive oil and butter in the pot. Add the stock, bring to the simmer and continue to simmer until the sprouts are softened for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Season. Blend with a stick blender until smooth. Combine Stilton and crème fraîche in a bowl. Serve your soup topped with a swirl of Stilton mixture, a drizzle of olive oil, extra thyme sprigs, and some crumbled stilton in the centre. See more

11.01.2022 This is well worth listening to about Diabetes and your eye health, plus general health. It is best to eliminate sugar and refined carbohydrates from your diet! it is shocking to hear this. This is why I promote to Eat Real Foods, to Cook Real Food, and to follow a Low Carb Healthy Fat lifestyle. All the dishes I cook in my YouTube series Cook at Home with Tonya series are all Low Carb Healthy Fat.

10.01.2022 Here is the recipe for the Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini and Cashews video I added to our collection yesterday. Cauliflower can be quite bland, so it is perfect with added spices and flavours. You can give it in a Moroccan theme by adding a generous dash of ground cumin, as I have here, for a punchy chilli touch by adding some harissa or sweet chili with coriander, caraway and fennel. A drizzle of excellent extra virgin olive oil brings everything together. Mix and match your spices to your taste.

09.01.2022 Rack of lamb with roasted pickling onions and the best greens tossed as always in the wok with butter and extra virgin olive oil. I quick and delicious dinner. Buy lamb rack unfrenched with fat left on. Pour boiling water over pickling onions, to make it easy to remove their skins and roast them under rack. Roast rack for 40 minutes on 190 C. Rest. Cook your mixed greens while your rack of lamb is resting. Scrumptious and a favourite in this home! #lambrackroast #greenvegetables #picklingonions #cookingonthebaycooksathome #cookingonthebaycookeryschool #cookingonthebaycookingschool #cookingonthebay #lambroastdinner #unfrenchedrack #cookrealfoodeatrealfood #cookrealfood #cookrealfoodeveryday #lchflifestyle #lchf #lowcarb

07.01.2022 I know it is a bit late to be adding this to my Facebook page! However, I simply had to share it with you for next year! One of the Cooking School clients has just written me the best email about how much she loved this Family Christmas cake of my Grandmother. I asked her to add my comments on the Facebook page and I then realised I had omitted to add it here on my Facebook page! You can prepare this Christmas Cake now, by marinating the fruits and in a few months time bake... it! once baked and cooled, pour over some extra brandy and store it for Christmas 2021! To store it, add the extra half cup or so of brandy or port; wait for it to absorb and be dry on the surface, wrap it in baking paper, then foil and finally cling form and store in airtight container. I often wrap it in brown paper as well and omit the cling wrap. There you are - all organised for Christmas 2021 or even a July winter Christmas 2021!! Take a look at the preparation of it on the YouTube channel as well! https://www.cookingonthebay.com.au/videos-resources/ while you after there, you may like to subscribe to the channel as well! So off you go and get baking!

07.01.2022 Dinner last night - chicken, leek, mushrooms with cauliflower cheese topping and kale, beans, spring onions, broccoli and sweet potato as a treat! That is a lot of vegetables! Join our Vegetable Challenge on the Cooking on the Bay facebook page and cook 39 different vegetables every week! Keep your gut healthy and alive with all those good microbes! #cookingonthebay #cookingonthebaycooksathome #cookingonthebayvegetablechallenge #vegetablechallenge #cookrealfoodeveryday #cookrealfood #cookrealfoodcookingclasses #vegetables

06.01.2022 Great News - Cooking on the Bay Cooking School resumes classes in February 2021. Class dates coming in a few days. Gift Vouchers available and the Cooking Class Program will be available in the next week! Watch this space and the website!

06.01.2022 Today is being called Freedom Day! So hopefully, it is the start of new life, hope and good things to come. The Cooking on the Bay cooking classes will resume soon, plus new online classes are scheduled as well as a new program of ‘how to cook’ cooking classes! So, an exciting time in the kitchen and at the dining table are waiting for us. Watch this space! What a year 2020 has been it is hard to believe ‘the now’ after such a great start in January and February. A year ...of so many ups and downs; an emotional roller coaster. At times, I have found it hard to remain focused and now it is needed to focus even more as we go out into the ‘world’ and continue to live and work. One thing that has kept me going is the Low Carb Healthy Fat lifestyle I follow. Eating Low Carb and Healthy Fat food has kept me fit, healthy, well-nourished and boosted the immune system so it works to its full potential. The cooking videos on my You Tube channel have al been LCHF so do take a look there for some inspiration. It would also be great for you to SUBSCRIBE as well. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Yf6Wpn4z2hnRsN7oznDJg I look forward to seeing you here and/or online very soon cheers See more

05.01.2022 Bees in the nasturtiums bring joy to@my heart! I love seeing them buzzing around my tiny balcony garden darting in and out of the Rosemary flowers, chive flowers, cumquat, lemon and nasturtiums ... not much else at the moment as I am waiting to have some work done on balcony to stop possums eating my seedlings! #bees#beesinmygarden#beesinmygarden #balconygarden #cookingonthebaybalconygarden

05.01.2022 The Burgundian Coq au Vin as cooked in the Betty B Barge galley kitchen...do give it a try. Use red wine and beef stock or white wine with chicken stock, both delicious and very different flavours, as you would imagine.

05.01.2022 Flynn whipped the best egg whites for our passionfruit soufflé for our family Christmas Day yesterday! They were the best! Divine!!
