IMK July 2015– flashback to 1968
Recently a friend’s blog post brought back a long ago memory of cooking. The memory was before I ever traveled, or even thought much about it, so the ‘foreign’ foods I’d eaten were mostly Americanised. On a few occasions I’d had some fairly authentic Italian and German and that was about it. About the time I was reminded…

dinner at Stefano’s
A hundred years ago when Don and I watched Stefano De Pieri‘s cooking show, ‘Gondola on the Murray’, we had no idea that one day we would have a meal with him as the cook! After all, we grew up halfway around the world in a little Midwest town in the USA, with nothing to indicate…

IMK June 2015 (how I use my slow cooker)
Before I start, this will be long…begin at your own risk! And most importantly, thank you to Celia for hosting our monthly kitchen get together! Quite a few things have been happening in my life in recent months, but little of it in the kitchen. Due to food sensitivities as well as other priorities my cooking has…

traveling on my stomach…again…
For our recent trip to Victor Harbor in South Australia, I booked accommodation online. We have been tremendously lucky with this method, though it could be that our extensive travels over the decades have given us a traveller’s intuition that helps. Our main criteria is accommodation with at least a queen size bed, its own…

in my kitchen, March 2015
Firstly, and most importantly, thank you to Celia for hosting our monthly kitchen get together! And to so many who read and commented with wit and wisdom about my kitchen and garden adventures last month, thank you as well! There were many helpful suggestions and I will update you quickly. Grasshoppers are still around, but…

in my kitchen – Feb 2015
First, thank you to everyone who commiserated and encouraged me in my time of loss of Kitchen Mojo last month. I’m happy to say it has nearly returned to normal. That is to say I’m having the usual number of failures rather than the dismal number I was having this time…

In My Kitchen–December 2014
I want to ‘play’ In My Kitchen this month, having missed the last one… but I fear I have lost my Kitchen Mojo. Traveling sometimes has that effect on me. Rather than coming home inspired, sometimes I am so sick of eating and foraging, when we get home all I want to do is eat plain,…

In My Kitchen – September 2014
I’m an experimenter; a tweaker. I find it difficult to follow a recipe exactly, unless it is for baked goods, which often don’t lend themselves to much tinkering. But my tweaks in early August were a pleasure free zone. I won’t waste your time. By the third week, however, I was number 1 with a bullet…

International Scone Week – August 2014
This morning I read on Celia’s figjamandlimecordial blog that it is International Scone Week. Who knew? As it happened I was preparing my shopping list. I added a couple of things to it so that I could have a go at ‘playing’ the scone making game this week! The recipe I’m making available to you is…

In My Kitchen – August 2014*
*Warning to those on a diet, this post may be hazardous to your mental state! Most of the passed month, I’ve been eating from other people’s kitchens in Budapest, and along the Danube to Istanbul! I’ll be writing about some of that, hopefully not so much you will be bored, but for now I’m back…
