Son and Heir is feeling pasta deprived. Or so he says. My freezer is bereft of bolognaise. I did find yet another small chunk of topside though. So tonight we will have pasta with a simple ragu. I’m waiting for the Lil Miss to wake so we can go food shopping so vegetables will be […]
Day Four in Sydney and a continuation of Holiday Meal Planning. We actually had a meal today that I didn’t cook so don’t expect a recipe for lunch! It was delicious. Probably a tad to much chilli though. I like it hot but it killed the actual flavour of the laksa. We ate in the […]

That’s a fabulous recipe from Nourishing Traditions. One of those dishes that isn’t massive on flavour but extreme on hearty. Anyway, it was an odd […]
