In Australia when you think of calamari your mind conjures up images of fish and chip shops, greasy butchers paper and pesky seagulls. There is something comforting however about those memories for me, as I am sure there is for you. Fish and chips are commonly eaten on a relaxed weekend, frequently outdoors in ...
Today is Cancer Council Daffodil Day. Please purchase your daffodil to support the cause. Visit daffodilday.com.au for more information. It’s been a while since I have posted some pancakes on the website. Considering they are one of my dearest loves, its taken some restraint not to turn this website into an ‘ode to pancakes’ blog.

Just a handful of sleeps are now left under our belt at home before we move on to new beginnings. The cupboards are bare and the pantry is cleared of everything besides a few staples. As a foodie and a food stylist of ones own photographic shoots, this can throw up some frustrating hurdles. ...
I have some exciting news! Almost a year to date from our wedding last year my hubby and I are heading off on our honeymoon to Italy! This holiday has been a cascade of events in the planning, that started with the sale of our house. If you follow my blog and social media ...

So…we finished our house! Wooo hoooo!!! After three years of hard work, a few tears, perhaps a few (thousand) swear words and some very supportive and understanding friends, family and neighbours, we are happy to say we have now officially laid down our tools. The house is on the market and we are two ...
I have a real passion for chai tea, which runs through the Cox family blood. My sister and my mum are both fans of this sweetly spiced brew, and together we will seek out a well-made chai wherever we are. We always frown upon a syrup or powdered chai as we are ‘real chai’ ...
