Creamy Citrus Cheesecake

I am such a sucker for cheesecake.  It is one of my favourite foods and I haven’t met one that I didn’t like.
Anyhow, I had a real craving for cheesecake the other day and rather than buying one I decided to bite the bullet, pull out my sinfully creamy cheesecake recipe and whip up some [...]

Dong Po Pork – The Reckoning

One of the most popular things on this blog is my recipe for Dong Po Pork. It’s basic, easy and delicious.  Could it be possible to make it even better?
Well…..
Yes.

The original recipe I used was very basic and used only a few ingredients.  The new improved version is even more delicious.  To the original seasonings of [...]

Tastespotting Part 2

Ladies and gennulmun, there is a new contender for the Tastespotting crown!  With only 75 posts (and counting) it has been live for only a little time. 
I give you (via SlashFood) ….  Food Gawker
They acknowledge that they are a homage to Tastespotting and list a small number of rules-of-usage on their About page.  Registration is [...]

Tastespotting is No More

Alas, the legal rats out in the metaverse have added another notch to their weasely belts – Tastespotting has been folded up and done away with.
Apparently there were legal issues with usage of photographs on the site – what that might be, I couldn’t say.  I was a contributor (caveat: I contributed only my own [...]

Rookwood Part 2

Went on a trip to Rookwood yesterday.  We were heading off to see a friend and, being badgered by The Husband to go for a walk, I decided to walk with the camera and stop off at the Necropolis on the way.
It was a nice day and there were crowds of people throughout the place.  [...]

Naan Bread – A Very Easy, Authentic Recipe

I love fresh naan bread.  I eat too much of it when we go to an Indian restaurant because it’s never so good as when it’s fresh.  I have bought pre-made naan to go with curries and they have universally been disappointing.  One brand that I bought for a dinner party was the driest, most unappetizing [...]

Happiness is…Rice Pudding

 
I once had a delicious rice pudding at a restaurant in Glebe called The Yak & Yeti, which is a Nepalese place.  As far as I can tell, it’s a family-run business and has been consistently popular with the locals for years.  I’ve had some excellent meals there (the goat curry was excellent) and had [...]

Banana Cake with Lime Icing

As regular readers will know, I got some beautiful cake pans into stock before Christmas.  Well, I resisted temptation for as long as I could before finally succumbing today and abducting some from the shop for my very own.  My rationale is that I can hardly sell something if I can’t tell you everything about [...]

Muesli Redux

I’ve posted about muesli before and must confess that I haven’t been keeping up with this healthy habit.  However, in the interest of helping my New Years Resolutions along, it’s one habit that I’m happy to fall back into.  Unlike the American-style granolas, I don’t toast or bake anything and I don’t add any sweetener [...]
