This is really a recipe for one but I’ll let you in on a secret – chorizo and tomato sauce for pasta really tastes absurdly delicious when you add rocket (arugula) to it. Not even kidding. The colour clash is amazing but flavour, too? Discovered quite by accident when rocket was an extra ingredient left over when … Continue reading »
See the cookbook above? Great. Now you know what was used as a reference, at least on page 9, which was then promptly chucked because it was just easier to “figure it out” from where we were and then see what happened. Chugging jug after jug of homemade mojitos (my new favourite thing, btw) greatly … Continue reading »
After the whole rush of an entire year celebrated and passed in a week and a half, we’re back to food for one. One daily packed lunch for work, and dinners by the TV, computer or a book, whichever your routine. For matching leftovers (such as marinated sliced beef here) and for packed lunches, this … Continue reading »
I’d love to say that I’m completely methodical when it comes to cooking in the kitchen, but I’m more than happy to say I’m not. A lot of dishes I make are simple, but I try to cross as many styles and cultures and therein lies a creativity and spontaneity that I keep coming back … Continue reading »

Once in awhile you come across a recipe that blows your socks off, and it’s got parts that fit together like a well-oiled automobile – all bells and whistles and roars like a dream. More often, you have recipes that are thrown together, and it’s like a bicycle ride through the greenest meadows on the … Continue reading »
…. Don’t always follow recipes. Just like good company don’t always follow the rules. I must be some sort of klutz when it comes to watching movies, because it seems like I’m always asking the sort of obvious questions that are deserving of a prank. While watching Narnia, Dawn of the Voyage Treader, I asked … Continue reading »
Almost a year ago to this month I turned vegetarian for about 5 months. The conscious choice only ended shortly after I touched down in Germany for a holiday and decided then that there really was no way I could eat saurkraut for a good five days. Not those five days. Turning pesce-vegetarian, then vegetarian … Continue reading »
If I have never been more proud to take a shortcut in cooking, then this moment is it. These garlic and herb sausages were like bacon in any dish – an instant perk-upper, an instant hit of the most addictive drug, the fastest get-me-to-high I know in food that involves sausages. They were random store-bought … Continue reading »
Today I thought I was da bomb, because … …I made up the word scrump-deli-tious. Which is scrumptious and delicious, with a bit o’ Knock-Your-Socks-Off. …. Just before work, I made plans with my partner over email to watch a movie. Him: Let’s watch The Infidel at 8pm. I’d fancy a beer, too, by the … Continue reading »
