mr relish LOVES pizza. Whenever I ask him what he wants for dinner, he always says, without a doubt…”PIZZA!”.  So when I found out one of my favourite bread men at the taylor square markets had sourdough pizza bases I had to grab some (Berry Woodfired | Sourdough – yes from the “best sourdough bread bakery in Berry!”). The packet contained two bases the size of a typical ’small’ pizza, so...

I love autumn and the warmer meals (and produce) it brings with it, so for me, cooking frittata’s this time of year is a perfect mid week meal. They’re also tasty re-heated for lunch during the day too, especially when the weathers been wet n cool like here in Sydney of late. I’m surprised how easy they can be to make, yet so delicious! Working out how to spell the word ‘frittata’ correctly seemed more...

I love duck. I’ve really tried to re-assess this for the duck lovers who prefer the waddling, living versions, but I’m sorry, I just can’t do it.  I’m duck addicted. Duck is a dish I’ve always left up to the professionals to make, until recently. I cannot hold out for just eating out anymore and have just started to cook it. This is actually my second attempt at cooking a crispy skinned fillet (first was this...

I bought some duck fillets from Pepe’s Ducks while at Thornleigh Farmers market last weekend and couldn’t wait to play around with flavours, and cook ‘em up for dinner (duck is one of my favourites). I bought a pack of 4 for $20, enough for two meals for us, so I made them with organic home made plum sauce one night (from a kylie kwong recipe) and another with a sweet honey soy glaze (recipe coming soon). I watched Gordon...

I made this easy n tasty pasta dish from a few goodies out of my fridge, and the ingredients in this recipe could easily be substitute to whatever you have in yours… the chorizo provides a lot of flavour in this so would probably recommend keeping that in. Chicken isn’t a must and zucchini, carrot and snow peas would no doubt work well. Could also use any pasta, doesn’t have to be penne… Feeds 2 people like kings,...

Yum chocolate pav!!! My favouriteeeeeeeeeeeee!!! This photo shows only my 4th go at making a pavlova – honest, its easy! Don’t like traditional pavlova? Trust me, you will love this one. Instead of the usual sugary sweet crunch, you get a delectable sweet rich chocolate flavour oozing thru the base – devine! I made this for our Sydney Xmas party and on Christmas day back in NZ last year. A hit with everyone and actually...

This post is really late. It’s early february and I’m only now managing to share our xmas dinner bonanza with you two months on.  Whoooops… better late than never tho right? Had to show this pic of “the chuffed chefs” haha, cracks me up…. “nice rack!!” So we conjured up the idea to have a good ole kiwi lamb on a spit for something a bit different for christmas dinner this last year....

Awww yum, this is one of my absolute favourites – the good ole kiwi bacon n egg pie is perfect hot for lunch or an easy sunday dinner, cold on a picnic or as leftovers the nextday! I love making and eating this, the ingredients can be slightly personalised to what you like or whats in your fridge too… Also, adding relish into this pie makes it taste extra good, or simply add after once  pie is cooked Full step by step pics...
