RASPBERRY ROSE + PISTACHIO PAVLOVA // VIDEO

My mum is a proper Aussie, meaning, she raised me on pavlova and regret-drenched love ballads sung by the torchiest torch light singers of the 60s.  And Abba.  Australians looooooove Abba (if you don’t believe me, just watch Muriel’s Wedding). But back to Pavlova and my mum.  My mum baked a lot of fabulous things when I was growing up. […]

OYSTERS TWO WAYS

My love of this delicious bivalve is pretty well documented, and I couldn’t help but return to it. I’ve been digging through cookbooks from the 30s and 40s, and let me just say, the oyster was a VERY popular bite then. And way not? It was cheap and wonderful to eat every which way. Fried, stewed, baked, grilled, raw, FRIED. […]

OUR PIZZA TRADITION

Henry and I have officially started a tradition. Well, we’ve done it twice, so that counts, right?

VANILLA SCENTED YAMS WITH MARSHMALLOW

I feel like this is everyone’s favorite dish at Thanksgiving.  Yeah, the turkey is the centerpiece, and stuffing is pretty awesome, but let’s be real. Yams. Sweet potatoes.  They’re a vegetable that kind of tastes like dessert, but somehow manages to stay savory.  Like a chocolate covered pretzels or something. Mmmm…chocolate covered pretzels. Yams are officially my cousin Erica’s domain.  […]

APPLE CITRUS SALAD
