Last week I had the opportunity to tick off one of those ‘bucket list’ items that I’ve had on my to do list for about 4 years, but never really been in a position to justify – added to which I’ve been pregnant or in possession of a very small baby for much of that time. …

Thick Chocolate Mousse & Basil Cream
I love Basil. It’s such a sensory herb, with the ability to transport you to just about anywhere – usually in Italy. I also love chocolate, and one of my favourite memories is from my honeymoon, some 10 and a bit years ago, where we spent time backpacking through Italy, from Sorento through to Bergamo. …

Deconstructed Butternut Squash Soup
This soup came about because I really don’t like a chunky soup.

And by the time you’ve boiled your vegetables long enough to extract the flavour into …

French Onion Soup – Kids In The Kitchen
This week my home schooled kids are learning about France, because we’re heading off to Disneyland Paris in a few weeks. They don’t know this though – they think we’re going to Paris to learn about ‘old stuff’. We will spend a day in Paris too though, just to make sure their learning wasn’t for …
