Wild fig & Macadamia Salad →
I was thinking about the Waldorf salad one day, but my partner is neither a fan of mayonnaise nor of celery. So, my gears started whirring away about what to do. My natural predilection for…

Smoky Wattleseed Rib Eye Steak →
There are days when you need a vegetarian meal. Then there are days where you just can’t be satisfied until you have wolfed down a steak the size of your head. This recipe is for those latter days.

Broccoli Pasta Sheets →
A great recipe for a flavoured vegetarian style pasta. Easily converted to a vegan recipe with some basic substitution and is delicious as a base for the vegetarian lasagna. Also wonderful when cut into fettucine and tossed through with a light olive oil, crushed garlic and flaked chilli.

Moving this to a new home →
I have to figure out how to simulcast the posts … mmm … rss feed maybe? If I did that right, we should see the posts simulcast on here - so you don’t even have to leave tumblr. How cool would that be? This may be a work in progress.

Melbourne Gastronomique →
I haven’t been making much time for this blog, I know — I am planning on making some more time for it in the new year. Meanwhile, while it’s not my recipes or cooking tips, I have started my own Google Map to record my Gastronomique guide to Melbourne. It’s my own personal Foodies guide to Melbourne and surrounds, in which I list out the places I like to shop for food,...
