Having spent most of my life in a non-seasonal country, I’m fascinated by the way things grow in a timely manner in Australia. The last of the blood plums are picked but the green apples are just starting to ripen.
I like to think that it’s a little bit like life, no?
With science these days, we [...]
Today felt like Christmas. Not because Santa came by 11 months too soon but remember as a kid you would jump out of bed before anyone else did on Christmas morning? That feeling.
Let me start from the beginning. G’s dad has a fantastic garden filled with fruit and vegetable plants. We grow our own lemons, [...]
I must have had shortbread before. But for the life of me, I can’t remember what it’s suppose to taste like. I had to ask G. and his sister B. if these shortbread tasted like… well, shortbread. It’s a little weird making something without an idea what it might taste like – but then I [...]
My dearest Chocolate Cake,
I can’t believe you’re gone. Our meeting was so sweet and yet, all too brief.

Through the Japanese I have realized that the simplest home-cook food is oftentimes the tastiest. It’s made me quite sentimental about my mother’s cooking. Perhaps it’s age. Perhaps [...]
“Hi, I’m Mable and I am a cleanoholic.”
That’s right people, I’m addicted to cleaning. It’s a sad, sad fact that I enjoy tidying cupboards, scrubbing toilets, doing the laundry.
This is a superwinterfood – the sort that warms you up, give you a nice tummy rub and makes you go ‘HhMMmmmm’.
Last week, I rushed out of the door and straight into Borders’. I had been dreaming of a cookbook for weeks. Yes. you could say, it was love at first page.
