What a weird feeling to be sitting mid air out of Orlando writing this post with inflight wifi for September Recipe ReDux. Yes, I’m back in the USA and it’s been wonderful to show my kids around. After living here twice as a teen and having holidayed several times, it feels like my second home….
It’s Recipe ReDux time again and July’s theme is from the garden. We are a little short on backyard produce, being winter down under. But even though my silver beet has been eaten by grubs and we only got one orange on my miniature citrus, there is always mint, my trusty lemon tree (and the neighbours – see over the fence)…
Oh what to make for this month’s Recipe ReDux? The theme is pie. And how does one compete with the USA members and their classic apple, pecan and pumpkin? So as always, I went back to my cookbook collection, looked through vintage recipes (including the politically incorrect Mammy Oven Puff) and found a handwritten winner in…
Whew. It feels good to be back with Recipe ReDux – the only monthly recipe challenge founded by dietitians and open to anyone with a health inspired blog. I’ve been so busy launching Storehouse (Australian nutrition blog directory) that it’s taken over for a little while. But I’m back to what I love, cooking and…
I am so loving getting to know our two Scoop Summer Subs, Laura and Lauren (try saying that quickly 10 times on a Google+ Hangout). Both of them are brimming with talent and ideas, so I felt very confident to hand this month’s Recipe Redux over to Laura. The theme is a cherished childhood food memory…
So this month’s Recipe ReDux challenge is a goodie. Come up with a most excellent new recipe for a lunchbox bar or bite. Sounds simple hey? Well not really, when you factor in the full checklist of what makes the grade at school. That’s nuts? No nuts – In Australia many primary schools have initiated a…
I hope by now you’re in the warm afterglow of a deliciously slow and relaxing Easter break. We are just back from the farm. Where apples grow on trees and kids play outdoors til dark. For a city girl I have the country in my heart. In my veins. And in my genes. Uncle Eddie…
I only just made it with this month’s Recipe Redux. And it has nothing to do with the topic. In fact I adore the latest craze of mason or jam jar recipes. But we had already developed two recipes on the theme (see below) and the challenge was to deliver a difference. After a failed…
I so agree with the opening line of this month’s Recipe Redux theme. Sometimes, the food is the best part of the journey. And while we all dream of an exotic, international trip to taste test. More regularly, travel is local. And on the road. Be it business travel or a road trip for pleasure,…
This month’s Recipe Redux challenge is all about turning the little humble guys into heroes. Yes, you guessed it: seeds. A nutrition powerhouse often overshadowed by their nutty cousins, seeds deserve the right to shine like gold. I can’t wait to share with you my Persian inspired recipe and latest cooking show crave. Spice Journey…
