Sharing the love of food
It's Monday, and you have had a hectic day at work. You have forgotten to take something out of the freezer for dinner, and have no idea what to cook. If you keep your fridge stocked with a couple of goodie items like bacon and feta cheese, you will be able to whip up a... Continue Reading →
The best laid plans of mice and men. The weekend that was! I am a very organised person, and I before I get up in the morning, I am already thinking of what I plan to do that day. This weekend we didn't have a lot planned socially, which made a nice change. Without much... Continue Reading →

It is Easter weekend, and the sun is still shining in Auckland! It has been an ideal weekend to go out on a boat, laze at the beach or swim in the sea. Autumn is approaching, and one feels this may be the last chance to relish in all things summer in New Zealand for... Continue Reading →
It's time to get back to comfort food. We were watching Master Chef NZ the other night, and the contestants had to make their " Last Supper". They were asked to make a dish that they would eat if it was their " last day on earth". It created a discussion in our house, as... Continue Reading →
