This is a very special recipe to me because it was created during a visit to a mango farm called Groves Grown Tropical Fruits in Queensland, Australia. I’m fortunate to have travelled fairly extensively around the world, and yet this trip is possibly the one that has affected me most profoundly as an avid foodie, a cook, and a writer. When you are welcomed by a farmer and his family onto their farm and into their home, walk the soil and see the fruits (literally) of their hard labour, it gives you a new perspective on things....

Some I’ll be cooking live at. Some I’ll be doing alone, with no Dozer by my side to clutch onto as my life raft. But also, I’m excited! Looking forward to meeting you in real life, to chat about our favourite ways to roast chicken, reveal our secret foods-of-shame and agree how bread-n-butter counts as one food item in the Deserted Island game (if you say it really fast)....

Corn Chowder I’m a sucker for creamy soups in any form. In fact, I’m yet to come across a creamy soup I don’t love. Hmmmm…..that statement sounds somewhat awfully familiar. I’ve written that here before. Oh, that’s right. I say the same thing about cheese. Umm… and potatoes. This website would be a very different place indeed if I also said the same thing about salads. 😈 There are corn chowders, then there are corn chowders....

Espresso Martini As a shameless coffee addict, this is hands down one of my favourite cocktails. I order it when I need a pick-me-up at social gatherings. I order it at nice restaurants to have alongside dessert – or in lieu of dessert. I’d happily order it all night long except that I try (operative word here being try!) to be sensible about my caffein intake so I usually limit myself to two at most!...

Korean BBQ Marinated Beef Short Ribs Korean barbecue is one of the first things that come to mind when people think of Korean food. And it’s world famous for good reason! I love that it’s as much of a social event as it is an eating one, enjoyed by groups huddled around a table embedded with a grill sizzling with marinated meats, seafood and vegetables. Interactive food, I call it. And I’m 100% on board!...

Green Bean Salad This is a salad I like to make when I’m planning a large menu ahead because I can prepare most of it in advance then there is very little prep on the day. The beans can be cooked a day or two ahead, the dressing made and onion chopped. Then the only thing that needs to be done on the day is chopping a tomato which is best done fresh (it goes soggy if done ahead)....
