Er, am I allowed to say things like that?! I'm not blowing my own trumpet. I didn't create this recipe, just tinkered with it a bit. It's Australia Day here tomorrow and while my mind is wandering to Lamingtons and Pavlova, here's one I made before the move which DAMN […]

I'm sure it's around here somewhere. Hello? … Mojo? Dammit I need it. And totally do not have it. Right when it's all systems go, I seem to have hit the wall. Which could have something to do with about four weeks of religiously interrupted sleep (not just the six […]

What's delicious around here at the moment: :: School holiday mornings! No rushing, no "come ON get your shoes on!", no "PUT THAT AWAY WE HAVE TO GO!"; rather, a bit of lego, a cup of tea, a nice slow start, and if you're lucky a bit of a sleep […]

Some people cook with a recipe most of the time. Some people never use recipes and just wing it. I have to admit to supreme dorkdom: I memorize recipes. Always have. I carry quite a lot around in my noggin, most of them very basic, Country Women's Association-type recipes. This […]

Here is the recipe I promised yesterday. It's a minor variation on the good old butter cake, but the yoghurt makes it so moist and light and the passionfruit flavour is delicious. They really don't need icing but a cream cheese icing or lemon icing does nicely too! INGREDIENTS 125g […]
