It’s late spring and BBQ season here in Adelaide, so recently we have been giving our gas and charcoal BBQs a workout. We like cooking on the grill because of the ease of clean up, especially on a busy weeknight after work. Some simply seasoned meat, a salad and that’s dinner done. Last night featured thick pork loin chops, marinated…
Tomorrow, the 10th of April will be seven years since we lost our mother Louise and I know we all think of her daily. More often than not I think of her in the kitchen. The place where she prepared so many meals for her six children and anyone we brought home with us. The room with…
Here in South Australia we are having sublime autumn weather. The summer fruits are gone and the cucumbers just about finished. But the tomatoes have a long season if you do a second planting just around Christmas. These beauties were found at the Adelaide Central Market last night. Our bush at home is getting there…

OK, so some time ago we decided to go Vego at Home at home while my vegetarian niece was living with us. Well, she has arrived. No meat has crossed the thresh-hold for a week and a day. So has it make any difference eating Vego at Home so far? Well, I have noticed that…
Best part of new kitchen - my chef Originally uploaded by lou_roo This is my husband plating up veal chops, roast veggies and garlicky mushrooms. The Smeg oven is great so far. And the food - well - my waistline tells the story there!
Rocket (Arugula to my North American readers) grows in my garden in winter. So, inspired by Amanda Daniel from 2bEthical who made a winter salad at the Adelaide Showgrounds Farmer's Market demo kitchen, I did a version of my own. All local produce including the olive oil that I used to warm the local almonds…
The perfect starter to our Saturday night dinner - salmon, fennel, wasabi mash and steamed veggies. I think I feel a Riesling coming on. Cheers!
