How To: Decorate Cupcakes.
I watch interiors stylist Megan Morton fold tea towels. She is so clever. Her new project theschool.com.au is all about DIY and teaches adults and kids everything from how to style a mantlepiece to decorating cookies using different experts and teachers throughout the year. I took my girls along last school holidays to the Hello Naomi Cupcake class READ MORE…
How To: Baking With Sonoma.
I love bread. Love. Bread. I remember the first time my husband brought home a loaf of Sonoma Soy & Linseed. We ate it fresh with French butter. It was ten years ago and a game changer. The Sonoma story is a great Australian yarn full of ups, downs, family, the bush and a couple of READ MORE…
Chelsea’s Mars Bar Slice.
Like Paula, I’m a super keen baker. I find it relaxing…and delicious.

Not Quite Nigella (Part One).
I met one of my favourite food bloggers Lorraine Elliott from Not Quite Nigella in Coonawarra on a food and wine road trip – it couldn’t have been more perfect. I got to eat and she told me what I was eating, why it was special and how I could try and do it at home. Lorraine has READ MORE…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake.
This cake is going to ruin you for life – it’s that good. Kate is a budding food journalist (who sometimes babysits my kids) and she made this cake with the girls last week. She can make anything. The recipe is from cake guru David Herbert’s new book (a must-buy) and has gone straight to my list READ MORE…
Pear & Date (Cheats) Strudel.
I made this during the Big Wet last weekend while staying with my parents in the mountains. My Dad loves strudel and I love my Dad – so it was a love festival making this for him. I ended up making four in total because we were also rolling with a couple of extra kids READ MORE…
