Easy Pumpkin Beans

by Erin B on April 29, 2013

I’ve been seriously time poor lately. I started a new job back in February and after almost 8 years in my previous position, starting in a new role that is extremely demanding has taken up all of my time and brain space. Dealing with a serious health crisis on top of that has been a [...]

Eggplant and Chickpea Curry – Vegan

Eggplant & Chickpea Curry

by Erin B on February 3, 2013

This dish was a bit of  a happy accident. I’ve started picking eggplants off the small bush in the front yard and so finding things to do with them has become a bit of a focus, it’s not a challenge that is at all worth complaining about, but the sense of worry and anticipation I [...]

Aussie Mushroom Burgers

by Erin B on January 14, 2013

Australia Day is fast approaching and I can hardly believe we are halfway through January already. As many of us make our way back to work (myself included) our minds understandably turn to the summer that was. I don’t know about you guys, but knowing that there is a public holiday right around the corner [...]

White Chocolate Macadamia Bliss Balls

White Choc Macadamia Bliss Balls

by Erin B on September 24, 2012

Late on Wednesday night I was hit with aches, pains and a wave of tiredness that I was not expecting. At first I thought it was just muscle soreness from the previous nights yoga class but it soon became apparent that it was something much worse. By Thursday night I was a gross, feverish mess, [...]

Roast Vegetable & Freekeh Salad

September 18, 2012

As the weather starts to warm up and teeny tiny seedlings start to sprout, a sense of anticipation rises all around me. Visions of long, hot summer nights on the porch, sipping gin and tonics and doing nothing in particular are just an arms length away and yet we are not quite there. We are [...]

Chewy Oatmeal Macadamia Cookies

September 10, 2012

A quick cookie recipe for your Monday afternoon, some chewy oatmeal macadamia cookies to be precise. Oatmeal cookies have to be one of my favourites, I first came to love their gooey texture while travelling through the US a couple of years ago. They are big over there in both size and popularity. Some were [...]

Wandering around Sydney – Bourke Street Bakery

September 3, 2012

I’ve just returned home from a week in Sydney, and what a week it was. I started things off bright and early at the Adelaide Airport with 30 other delegates as we made our way to Sydney for a conference. It was a jolt to the system for this night owl and by the time [...]

Blueberry & Meyer Lemon Jam

August 20, 2012

This is my first foray into fruit jam, I’ve previously had a go at a savoury onion jam but had always feared the pectin and palava associated with them. I have vivid memories of my mum making huge batches of apricot and fig jam from our insanely productive fruit trees when I was a kid, [...]

Adelaide Showground Farmers Market

August 14, 2012

One of my favourite things to do on a Sunday morning is grab my trusty trolley and head to the Adelaide Showground Farmers Market. It has become an important ritual and each visit is a reminder of just how special eating seasonally can be. I have my secret parking space, my routine on arrival and [...]

Orzo Pasta with Preserved Lemon, White Beans & Caramelised Mushroom

August 12, 2012

I’ve been having some great fun experimenting with preserved lemon this week, adding them to anything I can think of. This dish encapsulates a number of those experiments, providing a nutritious balance of grains, beans, veg and nuts. Orzo is a fantastic pasta to work with, it cooks in no time at all and brings [...]

Preserved Lemons

August 5, 2012

A colleague of mine has a prolific Meyer lemon tree. A little over a month ago he brought me in a box of lemons which I duly took home to have a play around with. I just love Meyers, they have a wonderful, sweet aroma that pairs perfectly with both sweet and savoury dishes. Their [...]

Wednesday Wrap Up

August 3, 2012

It has been a somewhat chaotic couple of weeks at our place. Paul has changed jobs, my grandfather passed away, uni is back and we’ve been madly preparing for the launch of the brand spanking new Eat.Drink.Blog website. Despite my best attempts, all efforts to maintain some semblance of normality quickly vanished as I did my [...]

Carrot, Parsnip & Red Lentil Soup

July 25, 2012

After a couple of weeks of cakes and feasting on wonderful mushroom dishes my pants are starting to feel a little, ahem, tighter than usual. This soup is one of the ways I am keeping myself nourished and healthy, a simple pairing of juicy carrots, parsnips and red lentils creates a wonderfully satisfying lunch that [...]

Back to Basics: Potato & Leek Soup

July 8, 2012

Following on from a previous post in which I lamented the difficulties I was having finding time to do the things I love, I have made  a concerted effort to make time to get back to basics. I am pleased to advise I have clean socks, the house is (was) tidy, the garden is getting [...]
