January 9, 2012 Recipes

One of my Christmas presents was Dan Lepard‘s new book Short and Sweet. I’m a huge fan of his thanks to his column in the Guardian – his recipes never seem to go wrong. I’ve made these toll house yo-yos before and I have mucked around with the recipe a bit – mainly because the [...]

The Stirling Hotel

January 6, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Wednesday 14 December 2011 Time off work as a family is a bit novel in our house but we have visitors from overseas so we’re trying to maximise our opportunities to do stuff. And of course, a fair bit of that ‘stuff’ involves eating. With my initial first choice of lunch venue [...]

Chocolate Brownies

January 5, 2012 Recipes

I’m a keen user of delicious, which is a fantastic electronic way of keeping together all those things that in real life I’d have on bits of paper floating around the house (and driving Andy up the wall). It turns out I have 27 brownie recipes tagged (let’s not even talk about the 100+ chocolate [...]

Tongue Thai’d

January 4, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

    date of visit: Friday 16 December 2011 There are some places I eat at where the service is so good it helps me gloss over inconsistencies in the food. And then there are some places where it’s all about the food. Tongue Thai’d would be one of the latter. So do you want [...]

Wines for Christmas

December 15, 2011 Wines

    Disclaimer:  I was sent the four wines by Wine Selectors. When Wine Selectors got in touch and asked me if I’d like to try some of their wines they didn’t really have to ask twice!  This was particularly the case because NOT ONE of the wines they offered to send was a Kiwi [...]

Maru Japanese and Korean Restaurant

December 1, 2011 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Saturday 26 November 2011 We actually had dinner more or less all lined up and at the last moment we decided we just couldn’t be stuffed cooking. What to do, what to do … pizza? fish and chips? Neither of those options was really taking our fancy but then I remembered seeing [...]

Rocket Pesto

November 29, 2011 Recipes

So, rocket, or arugula, or even more irritatingly, roquette.*  It grows like a weed in my parents’ garden and there’s only so much that can be used in salads or as decoration.  Mum gave me a huge bunch after a weeding session and probably thought it would sit in my fridge until it was thrown [...]
