Garlicky tomatoey prawns with basil

Posted on February 17, 2012

I’m pretty sure garlicky and tomatoey aren’t real words. But hey, this is my corner of the web and I’ll make up adjectives if I want to!

Besides, once you taste this dish, your tastebuds will immediately detect the delicious garlicky-ness and tomatoey-ness and dance happily. Guaranteed. Then you’ll forget all about my terrible vocabulary.

I served this with pearl couscous (also called Israeli couscous) but it would go just as well with rice, pasta or scooped up hastily with flatbread, so the fresh tomato juices can dribble down your chin. (more…)

Motorised kitchen island

Posted on February 15, 2012

We are currently house hunting for a new place so, of course, I’m scouring Pinterest everyday for styling ideas (isn’t re-decorating the best part of moving into a new house?).

That’s why when I saw this motorised kitchen island I had to share it with you. Having a kitchen big enough to have an island feature is one of my dreams – extra bench space, storage, eat-in breakfast – the possibilities are endless. (more…)

Roast duck & pineapple red curry + cookbook review

Posted on February 14, 2012

If you’ve come looking for lovey-dovey Valentine’s stuff, I’m afraid you won’t find it.

I show my loved ones my appreciation everyday with good food, smiles and hugs. They don’t need heart-shaped chocolate/candy/cake, bunches of flowers or a garish red balloon to feel the love. OK, end rant!

Instead, I present you with this spicy, sweet and sour Thai red curry from a new cookbook I recently received: Wok, by Rachel Lane, which will warm you up from the inside out. Just like those fuzzy feelings on a first date (that’s going well).

See, I told you food is love! (more…)

Gluten free pear and almond slice

Posted on February 7, 2012

Earlier this year I made it one of my goals to make sure I cook the gorgeous recipes I bookmark on Pinterest. Today I’m pleased to say I’m keeping that goal, and it feels really good. Turns out it tastes good too.

I’m currently holidaying at my in-laws, and with all the extra pairs of hands to watch Poppy, I’ve got mine free for a spot of baking. (more…)

Chilling.

Posted on February 4, 2012

Hi there from the NSW North Coast!

The Fig & Cherry family are taking a well-deserved break, so posts will be sporadic over the next week as we swim, nap, relax and eat our way around the Northern Rivers area.

As you can see, Poppy likes to chill out on the lounge and watch music videos via the ABC for Kids app (it’s a lifesaver!). (more…)
