I just saw this program on Lifestyle Food for the first time today - and all I have to say is "Where have you been all my life?". I'd seen ads for it, but had never gotten around to watching it until today. I actually had the TV on in the background as I was on the computer,...
Saturday NightThis is the Roast Chicken Salad from the “Déjeuner sur L’herbe for Eight” menu from the "Kitchen Feasts" chapter in Nigella’s Feast. Chicken breasts, marinated in Marsala and oil, are roasted in the oven, then shredded and served on cos lettuce with soaked sultanas and toasted pinenuts. I wasn’t sure if my family would go for it,...
Oh my god, I HATE that word! But desperate times call for desperate measures, so as of tomorrow, I'm officially on a "diet" again. I mean, I've already started eating healthier since I returned from Sydney (no alcohol, soft drinks, cakes, biscuits, chips etc), but I've decided to step it up a notch. To turn it up to...
I've just been told about this lovely food website, www.thelovebite.com, run by someone called Mannix. It has loads of ideas for fun, sexy romantic dates - yummy recipes, great photos, and I think his decor and mood ideas are fantastic. I'll definitely be using them for upcoming (non-romantic) meals...Check out his menu for a "Crustacean Orgasm" date... heaven!...
On Sunday, I spent the whole day summarizing a 12,000 word management article on “Psychological Contract Violation”, which drove me absolutely insane.The determinations mentioned above are based in the context of theemployee-organization relationship. Employee judgements are made in relation tothe social contract governing this relationship, and a contract breach carriesmeaning as a function of the social and normative...
Last night I made the Baklava Muffins from How to be a Domestic Goddess using the original recipe – that is, with walnuts and cinnamon in the topping instead of substituting just almonds. (Almond Baklava Muffins)I was in a rush baking them, because I wanted to watch Dirty Harry with my dad on DVD. They smelled great, and...
This was dinner tonight. Mum bought 3 fabulous looking zucchini at Box Hill yesterday, so I decided to use them in this dish. And I used pecorino romano instead of parmesan, because the only parmesan we have in the house is this disgusting plasticky yellow “parmesan-style” crap from the supermarket, which my family seem to prefer to the...

I was tossing up dinner ideas for ages today and eventually chose to make this dish, from bills food by Bill Granger. It was very easy, very yummy and pretty healthy. Well, I made mine carbohydrate free, and instead of rice, took bok choy, which I stirfried with garlic and chilli. If it’s green it must be good...
Yesterday, I was feeling stressed. Even after a hardcore hour at the gym, I realised that I still wasn’t de-stressed enough, so I decided to bake. We had a carton of buttermilk leftover, so I thought muffins would be the go.These Baklava Muffins from Nigella’s How to be a Domestic Goddess are an ordinary buttermilk-lightened muffin batter, layered...
On our first night in Sydney, An and I went to Rockpool, Neil Perry’s restaurant in The Rocks (that’s near the Harbour Bridge and Opera House). I’ve seen Neil Perry’s programs on Lifestyle, read about him in basically every Australian food publication out there, and had been dying to try his restaurant for ages. It has the reputation...
We arrived in Sydney at about 10:30 on Friday morning, dumped the bags at the hotel, and An & I headed straight to Bill Granger’s café, bills 2 in Surry Hills. Coincidentally, it was only a short walk from the hotel.And guess what restaurant is just two doors down from bills 2?? Kylie Kwong’s restaurant, Billy Kwong!!Look, it's...
This trifle was the dessert for my dinner party last week. It comes from the Partytime chapter in Nigella’s Feast. As she writes...You can always make a few puddings and cakes and dot them on the table… or just make one magisterial great bowl of something so fabulous that no one will be looking around for alternatives. Surely...
Last night I had a pre-Mardi Gras dinner at my house for my friends. It was so much fun. I did it mezze style on our island bench, and I had a great time preparing all the food, especially the dessert.After dinner, we sat around telling jokes… or more to the point, we sat around listening to Uncle...
