It has been so refreshing visiting family in other parts of the state and enjoying the better weather that Hobart seems to have missed out on, It has also been a time for a lot of ‘firsts’ for me. In this time I completed the longest bush-walk that I have ever attempted (even though it was a pretty modest 5 hr

Sometimes things don't have to be complicated and fiddly to be impressive. I often find that despite my best efforts to convince myself otherwise the simplest things truly do give the most pleasure. A hug from a loved one, reading a good book in the warm sunlight, simple and humble food that is shared with the people you

It's one of those calm, wintery, sunny days today. The sunlight brings a welcome change from the gloomy temperament Hobart has had lately, and it makes my mind wander far away. I dream of one day owning a modest weatherboard house, painted robins egg blue, in the country with just enough land for a vegetable patch and some

Quince and Persimmon Teacake #TASMANIAWEEK
It's coming to the end of quince and persimmon season, so to use up a little fruit before it was too ripe I decided to make this delightful teacake. The inspiration for combining the two fruits came from local Battery Point trees, which look gorgeous in their winter splendor right now. The trees look so beautiful covered in

I grew up in a scenic part of the North West of Tasmania, very close to Mt. Roland. I used to spend many happy days on the farm with my grandmother, and she would often tell me about the "moods of the mountain". She was referring to the beautiful shades of blue, pink, orange, red and purple the

I have just enjoyed a lovely but busy week of family visiting from different parts of the state, now there is time to take a step back, breathe, clean and look for food inspiration. Sometimes it is easy to forget that summer will one day return, especially when the mountains are covered in snow and you need your

So as you may know the point of this blog is to cook with Tasmanian products and produce, this idea came about from looking through many a blog that was about eating at Tasmanian restaurants, or people cooking in Tasmania but with little mention of local products. To try and kickstart my mini movement in Tasmanian food I

We are just starting the big birthday week for my family, 4 birthdays all lie within 10 days of each other! So this cake is for the first of these birthdays, it is light and fresh, and doesn’t weigh too heavily in your tummy like a mudcake might. You will have to excuse my pictures for the cake

When I was little I couldn’t believe the magic that happened when you cooked water and oats, how did water make something so creamy? Surely grandma was adding milk and cream without telling me, and expecting me to believe that water made this amazing warming bowl of comfort. In those days I liked my oats super sweet topped

The original recipe for the ice cream base I found on Gemma Stafford’s gorgeous baking website, I’ve done my own style with the flavour options, which hopefully you will try and love. This ice cream is not a rock hard type it is very light and fluffy, and almost mousse-like. It is super simple to make and takes
