Poneke

Poneke (1 Clyde Quay Wharf) With a menu designed by renowned chef, Martin Bosley, Poneke has a delicious menu for both brunch and evening. Being Mojo coffee, I always know exactly what to expect when I order my coffee, and the sparkling water that Mojo offers never goes amiss either. The slow cooked mince is…

Fish, Bok Choy and Ginger Parcels

Easy, yum, delicious. They look fancy, they are fresh and they are so simple to make! I adore Asian flavours and they go so well when paired with fish. I’m always looking for ways to vary a fish recipe – turns out, it’s a pretty diverse food! Collect fish bok choy 1 cm ginger sliced…

Recipe: Lemon Curd

Lemon curd is literally my favourite food. I used to think it was chocolate (wise choices, I know) but I’ve recently realised that given the choice of chocolate or lemon curd, I opt for lemon curd every single time. And with the surplus of lemons that have recently occupied the fruit bowl, I’ve had the…

Recipe: Shortbread

A simple recipe in concept, but it can actually be quite hard to perfect the shortbread to exactly the way you want it. It is worth the effort though, because once you perfect it, it s a great biscuit to have over a cup of tea or coffee. If you want it to be more…

Jamie’s Italian

  Jamie’s Italian (107 Pitt Street) A dream come true, this was an unexpected surprise.

Recipe: Aubergine & Chickpea Casserole

A really easy Friday night comfort meal – I make it often as a way to use up any leftover veges I have as the recipe is pretty flexible (you will see in the photo below that I have used beans in mine, even though there are none in the recipe). The chickpeas are a…

Recipe: Lemon Meringue Pie

The only thing that trumps chocolate for me (when it comes to sweet things anyway) is a classic lemon meringue pie. And finally, I’ve nailed it. My favourite part is the lemon curd (obviously) but it’s also important to get the meringue component right so that together with the pastry, the flavours and textures can compliment each…
