On farm classes
Really. So good. And no need for any animal to die for you to totally get the sense of a sausage roll! (Am I about to discover sausage rolls are really an Australian-ism?) Anyway, I made these up initially for Henry's birthday party. They were OK – I made them […]
Last day but one of Winter down here. My favourite season, gone for another year. For the love of Winter: it was the hardest thing about living in Brisbane (Winter? you call that Winter?) and the best thing about living in London. I chased Winter one year with Adam, right […]
Wintertime in Sydney. SO dreadful. A horrible place to live. The poor children. They're having a miserable day (with some favourite friends, also miserable?) Hope you're having an equally miserable weekend, gorgeous people. xxx

I don't know about you but damn I've made a few stir frys in my time. Not so many lately; they were the kind of dinner I made a lot of before the kids joined us. The after-work, on-the-fly, protein-heavy dinner we used to love. Time to rekindle the love, […]
