What better day I thought? As Kanye West announces his run for the US Presidency, it doesn’t seem at all left of centre, that I would start blogging again after a four year break. Times could not be stranger in the movie like existence we are living in during Covid-19 and I have seen many…
Hellooo lovelies. It’s been a little while since my last post and I’ve missed you. But I’ve been busy with so many extraordinary new food projects and needed a little break after 6 straight years of blogging every, single, week. One of them is that I am co-writing a book. Yes a very old fashioned…
Sharing. What a fantastic theme for this month’s Recipe ReDux, the first blogger recipe challenge founded by dietitians. It’s estimated that Australian’s eat out 2.5 times per week and as a result we are seeing a huge change towards casualised menus with an emphasis on small items and shared plates. I love entertaining this way at…
It was Lance Rosen’s passion for food that had me hooked, well before he invited me out the back to show me his smoker. As the owner and pioneer of one of Melbourne’s first American style BBQ restaurants, Lance was on to this hot food trend before it was hipster. If you have been hiding under a…

Chef crush. There I’ve said it. My not so secret, secret is out. You can have your movie star swoon any day. My heart palpitates for men in kitchens. But before you get worried about Mr Surfer Dude’s position in my life, I can reassure you that my crush is admiration from afar. It’s not…
As we start to wind down 2015, it’s time to look back over a very busy year in food and nutrition. One of the biggest trends that will stick in my memory is the coconut craze. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been asked my opinion on coconuts and saturated fat? Is…
How’s your Christmas shopping going lovelies? Chances are you are on the hunt for unique and personal gifts and I’ve got just the thing! As part of a new Scoop series I’m going to introduce you to some of my favourite bloggers outside our regular guest dietitians. And I’m delighted to kick off with my blogger friend…
It’s Recipe ReDux time again and the theme is quick breads, otherwise known as no yeast baking. One of the best places to look for inspiration is peasant, country cuisine. The recipes from farming housewives that had to make do with fruit from the orchard, milk and butter from the cow, eggs collected each day from…
