      Chakchouka/Baked Eggs

       As I regularly have to remind my Northern Hemispherean friends, we in the South live a topsy-turvy life. Whilst many people are moving into the months of sunshine, and ice-cream, and refreshing cocktails, we in the South are flicking on that ‘hibernation mode’ switch. I’m currently spending two weeks of my winter break back in Western Australia. It’s rained. And rained. And rained. And then rained some more. It’s cold – enough so that we’re reaching for scarves and beanies and layer after layer of sweaters. Yeah, it’s nothing like a ‘proper’ winter with snow and howling winds (though we do get those from time to time) and below 0C temperatures, but for us it’s still damn wintery. Continue reading →

      Feta Scrambled Eggs

      Scrambled eggs are purported to be a walk in the park to make. I beg to differ. At least if you want them ‘just so’. Things become even more perilous when you’re cooking for others. Its common knowledge that scrambled eggs are very much subject to personal opinion. Absolutely eeeeveryone has a different view on what constitutes the perfect scrambled egg. Take my sister. She likes hers on the murdered side – dried out to the bone and stirred so much that they resemble an unfortunate creature that’s been dashed against the pavement. The poor old frying pan has to undergo major reconstructive surgery after she’s finished with it. I on the other hand am impartial to the light, soft and fluffy kind. The kind that’s stirred (well in this case folded is a more accurate term) infrequently to produce large pillows of rich, yellow goodness. Contrary to my sister, my kinda eggs must be moist, but with no trace of runniness or remnants of raw egg. It’s a fine line, I’m telling you. Continue reading →

      Mushroom & Zucchini Strata

      Listen up and listen well my friends: this Mushroom and Zucchini Strata must chill overnight. Or at for at least five hours. Why? I’ll get to that later. I simply felt obliged to point this fact out to you now, rather than just before you cheerily go to put it in the oven. Discovering that what you had prepared for tonight’s dinner is now destined for tomorrow night will wipe that happy “I’m all prepared” smile right off your face. Been there, done that. And that is why I’m covering my back by giving you fair warning straight from the start. Two words: plan ahead. Hang on a sec, I can see you’re about to skip to another recipe. I understand – I do that too. Please stay. Planning ahead isn’t a drag (well at least not all the time), it’s actually very useful. Planning prevents situations where you’re frantically searching the net for a quick, tasty recipe to cook. Right. Now.  It’s much nicer to still spend more time than you really should looking for recipes (because if you’re anything like me it’s an addiction), but with no sense of immediacy. And all the chill-time induced waiting will only whet your appetite for this strata even more. It’s lip-smacking good. Shall I explain why you have to wait so darned long for it? Sounds like a plan.
