a casserole dish with chicken and potatoes in it on an instagram page

My sister Joye cooks with me on Mondays and I often get requests for her recipes. She agreed to write down her potato bake recipe for us, so here it is in her own words… I’ve added the details below the recipe for you because, yeah, she’d rather be gardening than writing ‘details’. ????

a bowl of soup on a table next to potted plants

We love it when my sister makes us Brazilian Cheese Puffs!! ???? They never last long unless I hide some, so she usually makes a double batch, and we keep half the batter in the fridge for the following day. They are the BEST hot out of the oven, sliced open and slathered with butter... YUM!!!! But they're also great cold, and since they are nut free they make the perfect lunchbox filler. There’s plenty of recipes for cheese puffs out there, but these ones seem to rise better than others…

an open box of butter chicken with rice and sauce

I’m so excited about this recipe, as you’ve probably heard! I was cheeky enough to call it the ‘best butter chicken ever’ because my 16 year old son insisted it was the best he’d ever tasted, and said that I HAD to call it ‘the best ever’, and I HAD to teach him how to make [...]

a bowl filled with soup next to lemons and other ingredients on a table top

Whenever anyone in our family starts to come down with a cold, I get out the stock pot and make a great big batch of chicken stock so I can make lots of chicken soup! There’s nothing better than old-fashioned chicken soup when you’re feeling achy and miserable, in the throes of a bad cold. [...]

a box filled with some kind of food

I'm going to push my opinion-quota by saying that the US is the least tea-cultured among the other places I've lived in (Taiwan, Vancouver, Hong Kong... Beijing). Americans aren't particularly keen on tea, evidently as some may now defensively refer to Snapple's... #assamtea #blacktea #breakfasttea

some food is sitting on a white plate

At the start of the year I ran a competition for my Blog Birthday Giveaway, and the first prize was a recipe developed for the winner. The winner was Melissa Furmedge, and we interviewed her here on “A Quirky Journey” podcast to hear her story, and to work out what kinds of foods her family needed [...]

a plate topped with cakes covered in icing next to two mugs

This afternoon was cold, wet and dreary, and Mr I (my 11 year old) was getting bored. I told him to go do something creative. “Like what, mum?”“Build something out of lego.” “Nah.”“Paint a picture, or do a drawing.” “Nah.”“Start a new project… build something.” “Nah.”“Bake a cake.” “YEAH!!!!!!!

You may have seen in my newsletter a couple of weekends ago, that I was recently in the Dandenong Ranges for the Wellness Breakthrough, along with 8 other health and wellness experts and 45 superstars ready to make some major changes in their lives! (Missed my newsletter? Subscribe here) I spoke alongside Cyndi O’Meara and Damian Kristoff about gut [...]

two people are in the kitchen with food on the table and one person is pouring something into a bowl

Risotto used to be a rare treat in our house – until our Thermomix joined the family! Now it’s a quick and easy meal that takes 20 minutes or less, and I can do something else while it’s cooking I always have Arborio rice in the cupboard, and vegetable stock paste (made in the [...]

These vegan almond flour cookies are buttery-tasting, crisp on the edges, chewy in the middle, and just might be the easiest cookies ever!
