This Soy and Calamansi Glazed Ham would be the most perfect centrepiece for Christmas lunch this year. The glaze is made with Asian-inspired flavours and glistens over the ham. Think fresh kaffir lime leaves, ginger, star anise, ginger and soy with the lovely flavour of calamansi. This recipe is absolutely phenomenal and I can vouch that it’s a total crowd … Read More
Veal and Chorizo Sausage Roll
A long time ago, in (what feels like) a galaxy far, far away, I was a designer for a hospitality group in Sydney. My favourite venue was Gazebo Wine Garden in Elizabeth Bay. I loved the vibe and almost everything on the menu was phenomenal. There were a few dishes that I have always wanted to try my hand at … Read More
One Pot Chunky Chicken Risoni Soup
During last year’s first lockdown when there were grocery shortages aplenty, I was really surprised that there was always Orzo in stock. Here in Australia, it’s usually called Risoni, but it’s the same short cut pasta, the size and shape of a large grain of rice. The entire pasta aisle was wiped bare except for boxes and packets of risoni … Read More
Simple Dinners 18 / Pumpkin Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
Mac and cheese. Just typing those words make my stomach growl. Maybe because I’m editing food photos right before lunch. We’re talking about the epitome of comfort food right here. It is without a doubt one of my favourite dishes in the world, and if I see it on a menu I will definitely, definitely order it and not share. Sorry, … Read More

I hope you enjoy this round up of cheesy recipes from some of … Read More
Marmalade and Whisky Glazed Turkey
The other day someone called me a ‘Domestic Goddess’. I was half thrilled and half horrified. While I love baking and like to think I’m a passable hostess, there’s currently a week’s worth of clothes on my floor at the moment (shhh!) and I’d almost rather be subjected to Survivor-like challenges than do the dusting. Nigella and Martha make it … Read More

Pork, Apple and Cider Pie
This post is sponsored by Nuffnang There’s something inherently special about Sundays. For me, it’s a golden opportunity for a sleep in, and a nice time to relax before stepping in to the new week. In my perfect world, there would be a picnic lunch every Sunday in summer, either in the park or down at the beach, and a … Read More
