Taralli: the perfect aperitivo snack

If you’ve never had taralli, you’re missing out. I first encountered these in Rome; though they’re actually from the Puglia region. They can be flavoured with anything from olive oil, pepper to fennel seeds and are tiny bites of crunchy deliciousness. Kind of like a tiny, crunchy bagel that’s a perfect one size bite. They’re…

Oysters, picpoul and recovering after the Australian bushfires: Steve Feletti, Moonlight Flat Oysters

Steve Feletti has one rule. Do not pre-shuck oysters. Oysters should be alive at the point, he says. That’s the law in France – in Australia though, there’s no such law, something he laments. I head down the South Coast to chat with Steve about oysters, but also to see how the area is recovering…

Spinach and paneer curry (palak paneer)

I am a little embarrassed to admit that I have turned to YouTube to teach myself to make curry. Despite having Sri Lankan-Indian heritage, I’ve always been more comfortable with Western recipes than I have with South Asian ones – largely because I’ve found Western cooking much more approachable with easy to follow step-by-step recipes….

Black Pepper Tofu with Eggplant

We’ve been trying to eat less meat lately. It’s not that we don’t love a good steak or a chicken schnitzel, or that my all time weakness isn’t Korean Fried Chicken, it’s just that we’ve come to the realisation that we don’t need to eat quite as much meat as we were buying. Weeknight meals…

How to cook dahl: a step-by-step guide

Everyone should have a good dahl recipe in their repertoire. Healthy and intolerance-friendly (vegan, gluten and dairy-free), it’s one of those dishes that is as great at a dinner party as it is at a packed lunch. In current times of pandemic and pantry staples, dahl is your friend. Things like lentils, curry powders are…

bowl of chilli pan mee noodles with crispy chilli, ikan bilis and poached egg

Malaysian Chilli Pan Mee

With a couple of kitchen shortcuts, I’ve managed to pin one of my favourite Malaysian street eats down to a 30 minute weeknight dinner. Even if you’ve never tried Chilli Pan Mee before, there’s something very comforting about a bowl of noodles and soy-based minced pork, all tied together with the richness of a perfectly…

Fennel agnolotti with oxtail ragu – and supporting local

It’s hard to believe that I haven’t written on here for over a year! Oh how time flies. I started full time work a bit over a year ago and between work, friends and life, blogging took a bit of a backseat. These are unprecedented times, and I can’t help thinking that most of us…

Zucotto: A Christmas ice cream cake

Part ice cream, part cake, part gingerbread with a healthy dose of chocolate to tie it all together – this Christmas dessert is more than the sum of its parts. Aside from being pretty much all my favourite things, it’s cold, light and perfect for the hot Australian summer Christmas. It’s make ahead, relieving a…
