Quiche or Pie?

Dish of the Week: Asparagus, Leek and Gruyere Quiche

Hi, 
Australians love their pies and I have never seen them come in so many shapes and forms as they have down here. They will even go as far as putting up slogans outside their cafe's claiming to have the best or biggest pie on offer in Australia, some have the right to claim this whilst others perhaps should have thought twice before boasting something they simply cannot deliver on. 

Vanilla Flavoured Icy Poles

Hi, 
I sincerely apologies for the silence on my blog the past month, I have been travelling for work, hence not much cooking done by me the past four weeks. Before I went on my overseas trip, Sydney was still bathing in sunshine and enjoying nice temperatures, but after my return autumn seems to have kicked in. I started working on today's blog post before going away, therefore it has more of a summer theme than being inspired by autumn..

Home Made Icy Poles

Hey, 

The weather in Sydney has been absolutely beautiful the past weeks, and with the temperatures in the low- mid thirties I have been craving something cold and refreshing. I often find that the ice creams and icy poles available in the shops are too full of sugar and artificial colouring so I decided to make my own.

Breakfast with a twist!

Dish of the Week: Poached Eggs in Chorizo and Bean Salsa

Hello and Happy New Year!
I hope 2011 has been treating you well so far, and that you are ready for some new recipes. Whilst away on my overseas holiday, I have been indulging in good food and exploring different style of cuisines. Funnily enough when we were travelling we discovered that often the hardest meal to find and get right was the first meal of the day- namely breakfast. This was particularly hard in Singapore, where they don't seem to have the same strong tradition for eating breakfast out as Australians. After asking some locals for tips though, we discovered Wild Honey in Orchard Road, and boy did they make good breakfasts. The menu is quite international, and the dish that I am making today is my attempt to replicate their Tunisian breakfast option. Link to Wild Honey: http://www.wildhoney.com.sg/10/index.htm#b
