It all started with an episode of Bob’s Burgers. They stop at a diner and rave over these pancakes called Dutch Babies.  My BF is Dutch so I asked him what they’re like  and he has no idea. The next morning, I’m stalking Chrissy Teigen on insta and I find a post from Read more...

Welcome to autumn everyone! In honour of this cold and colourful time of the year let’s make something warm and vibrant with some veggies from our local farmer’s market. I confess I haven’t really cooked with either of these ingredients fresh before. I think of rainbow chard as Read more...

Eggplant Pizza

Posted 3:28pm Sunday 13th March 2016 by Kirsten Garcia

Tis the season for all of my favourite veggies - I was thoroughly impressed by the size of the eggplants I got for this recipe I got two for $6 and I remember in winter last year that one small eggplant would cost the same price. Get in on this, guys.  I’m sure we can all agree that Read more...

Posted 2:42pm Sunday 4th October 2015 by Sophie Edmonds

During my day at home being the world’s worst sick person, I not only managed to make a cake and a batch of meringues, clean the kitchen, vacuum the flat and write a blog post, I also whipped up some classic vanilla cupcakes for SPCA cupcake day.

Peanut Noodle Salad

Posted 2:47pm Sunday 4th October 2015 by Sophie Edmonds

I thought I had escaped the joy of 21sts but, before I knew it, it was my own brother’s turn. He decided to have it at the local bowls club and invite 100 of his closest friends. Of course it went without saying I was volunteered to the catering post. Mum was a little ambitious on the menu Read more...

Cinnamon Churros with Salted Caramel

Posted 1:24pm Sunday 27th September 2015 by Sophie Edmonds

In my opinion, churros are some of the best doughnuts ever. Why, you ask? They have the greatest surface area to volume ratio, meaning more crispy, sweet, cinnamon bang for your buck. I recently (aka yesterday morning) came back from a trip to South America. Over there they make these slightly Read more...
