They say that brightly coloured food is a sign that something is beneficial to your health. I’m referring to fruit and veg, not the brightly almost neon coloured, fake, additive laded, sugar soaked soft drinks that lure kids. By the way, am I the only person who get’s annoyed by raspberry ‘flavour’ being blue? Back [&hellip ..read more

It’s that time of year again, that time when you think “oh shit where has my year gone” and “Does Uncle Tom like Blue Stratos aftershave?” Yes, it’s almost Christmas. I love Christmas, but at the risk of upsetting my antipodean pals, I find Christmas down under to be a bit flat. Despite assimilating on [&hellip ..read more

Is it just our house that feels compelled to do a full ‘spring clean’ when expecting guests? This is magnified by ten times if the guests have come from overseas. The most recent example was because my mum was visiting all the way from Britain. It was an extra special visit as she got to [&hellip ..read more

In the latest in a never ending string of cancer health scares, recent research as concluded that processed meat causes cancer and red meat should be consumed in moderation. 3 more ingredients that I love, [&hellip ..read more

Versatile and simple to prepare, eat it roasted in a salad, in a soup, in a quiche or just steamed with lemon and butter. I’m talking about asparagus and it’s back in season is back in season in Australia. This is a good thing because I love the bitter, sweet taste of the emerald green [&hellip ..read more
