After a dash to the fish co-op one afternoon we produced this delicious dinner of a Barbecued Snapper served with Spicy Mango and Avocado Salsa and accompanied it with the best friend of white fleshed fish - potatoes - simply steamed and tossed in butter. It was spectacularly simple and delicious ….
Inspired by my favourite, old, French cookbook, I prepared this mussel dish. It is very simple to make, the quality of the result relying upon the use of the very best produce you can lay your hands on. And aren’t we fortunate in Australia to have such ingredients to indulge our appetites and fantasies? ….
This is a recipe for XO Sauce with a difference. It is gluten-free, of course, which is the first difference. The next is that XO sauces usually include dried scallops and seafood but we use readily available bacon and mushroom to create the savoury complexity expected in an XO sauce ….
Versions of moussaka have been made in the Levant and the Balkans, in Egypt and Turkey and Greece for who knows how long. Proof of its popularity. But do we need another one?

Burrata, that delicious creamy, soft, white Italian cheese, marries perfectly with a myriad of partners. It’s fabulous with prosciutto, salumi, ripe tomatoes tossed in olive oil, on a pizza, in a pasta and a little more unusually, but no less deliciously, in our recipe for Burrata with Edamame, Sweet Peas and Crunchy Chilli Shallots ….
Most of our recipes for pastry - and we do have a few of them on the blog – are made with a blend of flours that work together to replicate the characteristics of wheat flour. This one is unusual because it uses only buckwheat flour, along with the usual butter, sugar, egg, etc. Whether it’s serendipity, chemistry or both, the buckwheat flour behaves beautifully, just like wheat ….
