Hello friends, readers and passers-by. From tomorrow, for the next 40 days, I will be travelling with my husband in Chile and Argentina. You'll be able to follow us on a purpose-built blog called Mostly Patagonia. So pop on over and sign up for postcards from the end of the world! We'll see you back…

Perfect Pasta
The finished product of our first batch of homemade pasta has been a great success. We used Pangkarra wholegrain durum flour from the Clare Valley in South Australia.

La nostra nuova macchina per la pasta
First batch of pasta in the new pasta maker. Our big decision is what shape to make? The standard parts that came with my lovely new Atlas Mercato machine are for fettuccine and spaghetti. Our recipe is from the English version of Il Cucchiaio D'Argento, The Silver Spoon cookbook. Our test batch for cleaning out…
Sunrise, sunset, Orvieto style
Fellow Italophile Debra has posted some wonderful photos of Orvieto. I loved the place when I was there in June and thought this worth re-blogging. Ciao for now.

Living by the low food miles philosophy is possible here. Sometimes I break from the philosophy,…

I primi di settembre
In Australia, early September bring spring with it. And Adelaide is putting on a spectacular display this year after a long wet winter. The lovely green patch of grass out the back of our house is perfect for spending time with the cats - who are full of energy in the gentle sunshine. Our front garden…
