This is not just your boring old potato bake. This potato bake is oozing with cheese, with creaminess, and some good ol’ fashioned ‘erbs. It is so ridiculously tasty that I swear I could just eat it as a main dish, but I try not to, and to date, have only made it as a…

Recipe: Scarborough Fair Chicken
Oh my goodness, this recipe of Chelsea Winter’s is absolutely to die for. The first time I tried it my flatmates had cooked dinner for my boyfriend and I; as it was cooking we could just smell the delicious herbs and bacon and creaminess wafting down the hallway. The meal was a raging success, and…
Feijoa cake with lemon icing
Feijoa cake tends to go down alright, and when it’s that time of year, I’m always looking for something different to make with the excess of feijoas. This cake is pretty easy, and tastes delicious! Collect 125 g butter 3/4 c white sugar 2 eggs 1.5 c mashed feijoa pulp 1 t baking soda 2…
Recipe: Afghans
Afghans are SUCH an understated biscuit. I think the reason for this is probably because the spectrum of afghans can be pretty wide, that is, store-bought afghans can taste very different to the ones wee grandma makes at home. In my opinion, homemade afghans are seriously the best, I can almost never resist. All store-bought…
Sticky pork ribs
Growing up, my favourite restaurant was Lonestar. Every single time we went I ordered the same thing – along with my mum and brother; we always ordered the ribs. The waitress would bring a bowl of hot water (for washing your fingers in) which would always get my excited that my meal was about to come,…
Recipe: Pumpkin & Coconut Soup
Winter is definitely a season that can get you down. But one thing that always picks me is some good ol’ homemade soup. It’s hard to go past pumpkin soup, which is so filling, warming and just plain delicious. It’s also so cheap to make – so long as you have a pumpkin on hand,…
Recipe: Triple Chocolate Brownie
This recipe is an absolute winner. I kid you not, every time it goes down a treat. It is super important to not overcook it; in fact, if you were planning on serving it as a dessert with icecream, I would actually under cook it slightly so that it stays gooey and runny on the…
Recipe: Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
One of the things I love most is waking up to the smell of freshly cooked muffins; now that I no longer live at home, if I want that smell I have to bake them myself. Which I don’t have a problem with, because it means I get to choose the flavour. Banana and chocolate…
Recipe: Peanut Brownies
Peanut brownies were my absolute favourite biscuit as a kid. I have fond memories of baking with my Mum on Sundays; my brother and I used to take turns choosing which kinds of cookie would feature in our school lunches the following week. Peanut brownies were always my go-to; it was an effort to persuade…
Tokyo Tina
Tokyo Tina (66a Chapel Street, Windsor) Wow. This was a dining experience like nothing else I had in Melbourne; it was hands and shoulders above the rest. Hats off the chef, George Proudfoot, who absolutely blew my family away with some of the intricacies that he served us. From the moment we arrived we were…
