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

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 [...]

Happy New Year and welcome to 2013! I’m sitting here on my porch, in the heat of the summer sun, watching the tomatoes grow and taking stock of everything that has taken place over the past 12 months. It has been a busy year for me, one of highs and lows. As seems customary this [...]

Roast Cherry Salad

December 11, 2012

This time of year has to be my absolute favourite; long days, glorious sunshine, catch ups with friends, an abundance of produce and stonefruit – most notably, cherries! Cherries would have to be one of my absolute favourite fruits and so when I bring home the first batch of cherries for the season it’s pretty [...]

Saturday Favourites

October 27, 2012

As the weeks fly by at an alarming rate I can hardly believe that we are back to hayfever, spring planting and warm days with cool nights so soon. It seems as though it was only yesterday that I was lamenting the loss of my last tomato crop and yet here I am planting out all [...]

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.

Rustic Fig & Feta Tart

February 29, 2012

Figs are in abundance at this time of year, a quick scan around some of the great Aussie food blogs and you’ll get the general idea. We’re lucky enough to have access to Paul’s mum’s backyard fig tree which fruits heavily every year so I’ve been coming up with some creative ways to use them. [...]

Pumpkin & Green Bean Salad

January 29, 2012

Hi Folks, Back again today with another fabulously fresh salad that has just the right balance of salty and sweet. With the hot weather making long hours in front of the stove a less than ideal scenario, we’ve been eating a lot of salads. They are easy to throw together based on whatever you’ve got [...]
