WIN! Marion’s Cookbook (& More).
Marion Grasby was one of my favourite MasterChef Australia contestants from all of the seasons. She was calm and collected in the kitchen and made Thai cooking look easy. Last week I discovered her cookbook, Marion: Recipes and Stories from a Hungry Cook. You can’t miss the neon pink cover. Inside the pages are full of stunning street READ MORE…
Granny Smith Muffins.
Cooking with apples. That’s what winter is all about. These muffins are awesome for lunch boxes and you can subsitute the sultanas with apricots, dates, almonds, coconut – whatever dried variance you prefer. I cook mine on Sunday mornings – nothing better than just out of the oven – and find they last most of READ MORE…
The French Chef.
The first dinner party I hosted for my French friends is one I’ll never forget. As beads of sweat exploded from their brows and red wine was gulped down, I quickly realised French and chilli don’t mix. From that night on, I vowed to learn the art of traditional French cooking. If I was going READ MORE…
Banana Cake With Lemon Frosting.
I feel so guilty about over-ripe bananas sitting in my fruit bowl that I end up making many, many loaves of banana bread. In the spirit of switching things up (I’m devoting June to this) I poured this week’s banana guilt into a cake. I always forget how great a good banana cake is. This READ MORE…
Dinner With Curtis.
It’s not every day a famous chef cooks you dinner. Last week Curtis Stone was in town for the launch of his new cookbook ‘What’s For Dinner?’ He hosted an intimate dinner at 4Fourteen and showed off his mad cooking skills. His cookbook is full of delicious recipes for a busy life. Something I think we can READ MORE…
Classic Comfort Pasta.
My family crave this pasta. I have a radar that tells me when they really need it…long week at school, long week at work – it’s classic Joye comfort food. Over the years, I’ve tweaked the ingredients from a bunch of Italian recipes. This version has enough punch for adults but not enough to make READ MORE…
Danish Apple Cake.
This cake was the result of a lazy Saturday morning spent reading The Sydney Morning Herald. I found the recipe in the Spectrum section and it was the only thing that would have got me off the couch. Once it was baked I went back to the couch with a big slice and a mug of READ MORE…
The French Dinner Party.
The best kind of dinner party is one filled with humour, wine and yummy food. Living in Paris (with a young daughter) means that we entertain at home more than we eat out and my French friends really know how to cook. I’m trying to learn traditional dishes while I’m living here so I asked READ MORE…
