When you shop at Coles supermarket and spend over $30, you receive a discount fuel voucher for Shell, offering you 4c off per litre. When Mum and I went to Coles last week, our shopping bill only totaled $29.95. Disaster! So we picked up a Crunchie bar, got our fuel voucher, and went on our merry way.This, however,...
This recipe comes from Nigella’s column in the New York Times, “At My Table”. I’ve only just discovered that a lovely woman from the nigella.com forum has posted up loads of Nigella’s recipes and columns, which I’ve been voraciously reading through. Many of these recipes reappear in Feast, but there are also lots of ones I haven’t seen...
At my parents’ request, we had some of their friends over for dinner last night, and I cooked. There were 11 people in total.Here’s the menu:Bolinho de Bacalau (Brazilian Cod Cakes)Jamie Oliver’s Thai-flavoured Beef Carpaccio with mixed green saladNigella's Chocolate Espresso Cake with Café Latte CreamI spent the whole day enjoyably, and sometimes, strenuously, working in the kitchen,...
As promised... the answer to last night's carb-craving...Dad woke up at 9:50am, went to the corner store and picked up a tub of ricotta cheese for me, and I whipped up these hotcakes. They don't require very energetic mixing, so were nice to make on a lazy sunny Sunday morning. (Well, lazy for me, but not for my...
This was dinner tonight. From Nigella's "Ultimate Feasts" in Feast. Despite having read this chapter numerous times, this was the first recipe I made from it. And it was beautiful! I can definitely understand why Nigella cooks this "more often than I cook anything else, bar the roast chicken, in my repertoire". I guess I'd better get cracking...

This recipe comes from Jamie’s Dinners, which I have discovered is a really great book. This was very, very easy. Just chuck chicken pieces into a dish with cherry tomatoes, olive oil, basil, garlic, salt and pepper, and cook for one and a half hours in a moderate oven, turning the tomatoes once. I chucked it in the...
On Monday night, my family went out for my brother Daniel’s 23rd birthday dinner. We went to Cecconi’s, in Crown, a very lovely, large and fancy Italian restaurant. We went there for my birthday last year, but my bro was in England at the time and so missed out…I bought Daniel a red armband from Tomorrow Never Knows....
My computer’s back!! It had a little breakdown over the weekend, but after a couple of days in the shop, it’s back, good as new. And whilst I haven't been on the computer, I certainly haven't stopped eating. So this food blog NEEDS updating!As you all know, I’m on a diet now (although I prefer the word “regime”...
