Last weeks cooking for men class made cabbage rolls. I have to tell you, they did a great job. Everyone went home with about 6 beautifully filled and rolled cabbage rolls and a tub of delicious tomato sauce to bake them in.
I chose to use Savoy cabbage. The crinkly leaves are not so tightly packed [...]
We don’t have corned silverside all that often. I got the idea to do a piece after a friend at work mentioned she was cooking one for salads and sandwiches during our recent hot spell.
It does slice beautifully when it’s cold, and is perfect in sandwiches and rolls like these:
Dinner that night was the silverside [...]
I adore tags and memes But then I love junk mail and surveys too…
The gorgeous happygrub is the tagger this time and my goal is to tell you 5 things about me that you (probably) don’t know.
I am originally from England and have lived in Australia since 1968. We come from a place called [...]
Just creamy enough, lots of flavour and very fast to make - this is the perfect after-work dinner. Added bonuses are:
you can get lots of healthy veggies into the one meal if you serve a simple salad along-side this pasta meal
leftovers taste great
everyone loves it
I used a box of multi-coloured fettuccine, just for the colour [...]
”Poor Me”? well, not so much the uni work but the heat we’ve had here in Adelaide for the last couple of weeks.
Unbelievable. We’ve broken some kind of national record for heatwaves. Day after day after day of 39C, 38C, 40C… it hasn’t rained here for weeks either. Someone should create a new biscotti flavour [...]
Hello dear friends please forgive my lack of posts lately. Can I list what the reasons are? Then you’ll all feel sorry for me and forgive me
1) uni started - and I’m loving it. Lots and lots of reading to do though. I’ve completed my first assignment. A relatively short (800 word) [...]
I have never made “real” couscous. The one where the grains have to steamed for a long time, usually over the simmering tagine of something savoury.
I use the instant. It takes a few minutes. I have read that there is no comparison to the from-scratch couscous, and I believe it. However, practicality is having it’s [...]
This salad was a little invention of mine, and it was just lovely!
I had baby spinach that I wanted to use in a salad, feta in the fridge, gorgeous little semi-dried grape tomatoes (no bigger than my thumb-nail) and Bartlett pears just ripe enough to slice, but not too ripe they’d fall apart.
Here’s the entire [...]
My darling husband has spent the last few weekends laying a new kitchen floor and jazzing up my (very old) kitchen cupboards with a coat of paint and new handles.
We chose the wood veneer floating floor-boards and it looks beautiful. So much nicer than the ratty old lino that was there before. I love walking [...]
