And just like that, summer was over. But not exactly. Because here in Sydney the first day of autumn was a scorcher with temperatures soaring to 36C (97F). With February being so short, when March arrives the seasons don’t cooperate. In my kitchen I have two passionfruit. Yes, just two but these are homegrown and […]

Here we go; back into the routine of another year. In my kitchen I’m trying to adjust our diet to fit-in with Drew’s restrictions and so I’m coming up with new ways to present chicken. A few nights ago we had wing-tip chicken breasts with a herb butter rubbed under the skin. And yes, again, […]

Happy New Year to all my readers! I can’t believe we’re into another year or even that it’s time for another IMK post but there you go! December was an absolutely massive month for me as I’m sure it was for so many of you and I still feel very much caught up in the […]

In my kitchen there is a lot going on. It’s all because of Christmas and with that comes gifts to be made and copious entertaining and all the invites to bring-a-plate events. Excellent! And it’s hot. We’re fortunate in that even though we don’t have air-conditioning, our house stays relatively cool. But it’s still 26C (78.8F) […]

November already. This year really is racing to a close. In my kitchen I have Dick Smith Food products. When I heard a few weeks ago that his business was in danger of closing due to not enough sales, I rushed to my local supermarket and bought as many of his products as possible. Dick Smith […]

October already! In my kitchen I have quite a few new cookbooks. The first was given to me by a friend who has a son at the Shore school, a private school for boys. The School released a cookbook to commemorate 125 years of the school. It’s a stunning hard-back cookbook that’s been incredibly beautifully […]

It’s Spring! But you wouldn’t know it. It’s very cold and grey and wet and windy but it surely can’t last too much longer. In my kitchen this month there’s good news and bad news. I’ll start with the bad. Someone sent me a parcel. They didn’t put their details on the satchel so I […]

In My Kitchen I have nothing from New York. After shopping for clothes and shoes I had a baggage crisis and couldn’t fit in anything for my kitchen. So many must-haves had to be returned to the shelves. But I’m planning another trip so I can bring back all the homewares I fell in love […]

In my kitchen I have been making pasta. It would be easier if I hadn’t lost the clamp that locks the pasta machine onto the bench. Where did it go? I need a third arm to hold the machine in place as I feed the dough through the machine. Making pasta is a messy process; […]

It’s not only the first day of a new month but also the first day of a new season. Here in the Southern Hemisphere we are now officially in winter; my least favourite season. So far, it’s not too bad and I dare not complain after the harsh winter those living north of us have […]
