This story came out in The Australian on Friday. I can’t find the link online so have posted the raw copy here. When the cast of Hollywood tucked in to beef burgers after this years 77th Academy Awards, it was made from Blackmore Wagyu Beef. When the first Yarra Valley truffles arrived at the Botanical [...]

With summer coming it seems like an ideal time to talk barbeques. Or the appalling experience trying to redeem a $99 voucher (a Christmas gift from Jackie’s company in 2004) before December 1 to buy a Weber barbeque from wishlist.com.au.

Okay guys, Wednesday night is on. I’ve probably made it more complicated for us to meet by shoehorning us into the event at The Trust. However, I think I will be recognisable. I will wear a very obvious bright stripy shirt, just like the one pictured above (mine isn’t ironed yet). Oh, and I’m very [...]

The picture says it all. Hardbaked, burnt and just darn difficult to clean pans? Never be bogged down by washing-up kitchen mistakes again and save water. Simply make the terrier work for a living. The advantage of these small breeds is that they are exactly what they say they are: tenacious. Combine that with needle [...]

A lazy, late Sunday morning at the table in out kitchen. Bowen Mango and strawberries that actually taste like strawberries now it’s spring. Bowen is the mango capital of Australia in Far North Queensland over 3,000km away. The strawbs are from Cockatoo in Victoria, a few hundred km away. Raspberry pastry and a small but [...]
