The other reason I haven’t been blogging much recently is that my meals have either been fairly mundane or fairly unsuccessful. This does not lend itself to food blogging as well as you might think. One of the less successful…

Recipe: Sunshine Yellow Lemon Cake
This cake is incredibly easy to make, and really, really lemony – it verges on being too sour, in fact, which may possibly have something to do with the fact that I didn’t follow the recipe and also to do…
Recipe: Anzac-y biscuits for (nearly) everyone
I have this friend who is very tricky to cook for, because she and her family between them are allergic to everything. Well, perhaps not everything, but it’s certainly true to say that cooking for her involves avoiding all the…
Recipe: A Stew for Spring
This is lightly adapted from a recipe in Jack Bishop’s book The Complete Italian Vegetarian. Mostly, I adapted it by screwing it up. But you don’t need to do that part. The rest of the adaptation was a matter of…

This is probably not the kindest thing to do to smoked trout, but Andrew is very anti-fish, so if I want to cook fishy things, I have to disguise them a bit. And it was lovely – the smokey trout…
Recipe: Primary Colour Marble Cake
The local garden shop has mutated into a local garden shop that also sells really interesting obscure organic ingredients. Excellent. One of their interesting obscure ingredients was strawberry powder, which is freeze-dried strawberries ground into a powder. It’s lovely –…
