25.01.2022 I may have left this in the oven 5 minutes too long! My oven is playing up and it’s driving me crazy! It cooks one side better than the other and it’s a new thing. But apart from that it smells so good Can’t wait to tuck into it for dinner tonight with some salad

21.01.2022 Not the most attractive-look meal but guaranteed to be so tasty Still waiting on restrictions to ease to get my mother-in-law to show us how she does these and in the meantime it’s nice to get them hand-delivered. Sarmathes with silver beet instead of cabbage and avgolemono sauce

12.01.2022 I think my kids went through a phase, when they were little and picky eaters, that all they ate was Mac Cheese and not the home-made type but the pack ones You see they have 1 year between them and what one did the other followed! Try as I might things didn’t change for a while until they went on to the new delicacy the 2-minute-noodle Fast forward to now and tastes are refined and they love my Mac Cheese. With a creamy béchamel, cheese and pasta, I make it both as a main or as a side. Details in my story ... hope you love it also!

11.01.2022 The other day one of my faves @sonny_loves_charlie posted making toasties and it got me thinking about my favourite recipe for it! I love the toasties at Maker and Monger, if you haven’t had them, make sure you do! This recipe is meant to be an inspo on one of theirs and since I can’t go to Prahran Market (outside my 5km) for now, I will settle for this recipe that I read somewhere I haven’t put quantities cause you can vary it according to what you like.... Ingredients Gruyère cheese grated Cheddar cheese grated Butter Mayonnaise Dijon mustard Cayenne Pepper Good quality bread Salt - Mix the cheeses, mayo, cayenne, mustard - Butter the bread on the outside - Toast toasties on a sandwich press which I line with baking paper - Sprinkle with salt and serve hot You will love these, they are amazing Swipe across for recipe
10.01.2022 I love fresh pasta it’s on top of my must-learn list right now. With fresh pasta, and especially ravioli or tortellini filled with yumminess, I prefer uncomplicated sauces. Whether it’s burned butter or the a tomato based sauce... I keep it simple so you can enjoy the pasta. Here is one of my favourites, the three-cheese ravioli from Pasta Eater in Black Rock. With just a tomato based sauce and Parmesan cheese, it’s pretty delicious.... By the way, they have some amazing pastas all home-made @pastaeater3193

07.01.2022 With restrictions slightly easing today, who’s excited on going on picnics to catch up with friends I have to say I’m looking forward to it!

Easy to travel and easy to eat. Now we pray to the weather Gods for good weather on weekends to do so
03.01.2022 The first time I had this salmon was at my friend Helen’s house and I loved it A big piece of salmon baked and ready to serve in just 15 minutes. Minimal fuss, so easy, so much flavour and taste ... so good! 1 piece of salmon... 1/2 cup honey 1/3 cup soy sauce Spring onion - Pre-heat oven time 220 - Dry the salmon with paper towels - Melt honey so it’s runny mix with soy sauce - Pour half the honey/soy mixture on the fish making sure the fish is all coated - Bake - Just before it’s cook take it out and pour the rest of the honey/soy mixture put back in the oven for 5 minutes - Take out of the oven sprinkle with spring onions and serve I serve it straight in the tray and there is never any leftovers... the best bits are the edges all salty and sweet so yum

You could also substitute some of the chicken stock with white wine it’s totally up to your! A quick and easy mid-week dinner
02.01.2022 My mum used to make this dish using both beef and chicken. With the beef version mum used to add grated ripened tomatoes and the chicken was aspro(white!).

Enjoy this yummy dinner
