Work, Life, Unbalanced!

So here we are nearly a month later and no blogs! Sadly my laptop has recently acquired a virus so I am relying on The Husband's computer to which I have very little access. There is not too much news to report as lately it has been all work, work, work leaving little time for home cooking!

Grilled Zucchini, Roast Capsicum, Persian Feta & Basil Omelette

To keep up with my commitment to blog more often I thought I would share some dishes I have been preparing over the last week or so.

Slow Cooked Pork Ribs with BBQ Glaze & Coleslaw

Vegetarian Baked Beans with a Poached Egg

Salami with Green Tomato Relish

Orange & Hazelnut Cake - Served warm with Vanilla Bean Mascarpone

At home - Turkish Sausage Roll with Pomegranate & Feta Salad

Spiced Duck Breast with Orange Sauce

The Sun God

Happy 4th Birthday to The Pug! Isn't he handsome?

A change in seasons

Autumn is my favourite season so I was delighted to return to Australia, post-honeymoon to discover a fresh chill in the air. The leaves have not yet started falling but the mornings and the evenings are definitely getting cooler. At work I am currently experimenting with an updated Autumn menu, saying goodbye to summer fruits and salads and hello fresh soups and comfort foods! Here are some sneak-peaks -


Autumn Fruits - Will be finished with Honey Labne & Candied Pistachios


Butter Fried Potatoes, Roast Capsicum, Chorizo & Sous Vide Egg


Potato & Feta Pancakes with Asparagus, Poached Egg & Cumin Salt



Little Cakes by Little Kate -
My very talented friend Kate made these beauties as samples. They were as delicious as they look!

House made Scones - I use Janelle Bloom's CWA recipe. It works every time!


Our first home cooked meal after our around the world travels. How I missed vegetables!


The Pug on his way home after staying with the In-Laws whilst we were away. He was very excited to be back home and eating human food again!
