Marron with blood orange, fennel and apple

October 8, 2015 by date with a plate.

Ah marron, sweet sweet delicious juicy marron, how much I love you. But sadly, if you don’t live in Western Australia or on Kangaroo Island in South Australia you might struggle to find one of these tasty freshwater shellfish – so substitute with prawns, crayfish, lobster or even scallops for an indulgent and super fancy meal. Perfect with a glass (or bottle) of white, a good friend and a carefree Spring afternoon. I love this shellfish, in fact I have […]

Crab, fennel and chilli linguine

January 5, 2015 by date with a plate.

Crabbing is a common pastime is Australia during the hot Summer months, and thank goodness because on Saturday Ollie and his friends returned to the house with eight glorious blue swimmer crabs for dinner. They graciously allowed me to select the menu and I opted for a classic, no fuss pasta dish of crab, fennel and chilli. I did consider making fresh pasta for this dish (and probably should have), but when its 39°C outside you really lose the ability […]

Homemade Italian sausages

July 10, 2014 by date with a plate.

You know you’ve got a keeper when your boyfriend buys you a meat grinder with sausage making attachments for your birthday – I mean really, doesn’t every girl want her own sausage maker? But seriously, I was pretty freaking excited to be handed this beast of a Kenwood attachment! The boy knew I had just bought myself Charcuterie and French Pork Cookery by Jane Grigson, knowing all too well that I was eager to flex my meat skills and delve […]

Fennel, orange and rocket salad

July 1, 2014 by date with a plate.

Even though it’s cold and miserable outside, I feel like if I eat something that reminds me of Summer then I can pretend those grey oppressive skies are full of light and warmth – even if it only lasts a few glorious minutes. Despite oranges and fennel being readily available in Winter, they still remind me of much brighter days – perhaps it’s their vibrant flavour or that pop of bright orange among luscious greens, I’m not too sure – […]

Duck Ragù

September 2, 2013 by date with a plate.

The annual Father’s Day feast was at our house this year and I opted for an all out stomach exploding menu. We opted to cook a Duck Ragù with some beautiful homemade pasta, served it with a leafy green side salad (see previous post) and topped it off with some homemade garlic bread. *drool I have never actually cooked with duck before, yet its my favourite meat. Go figure! Anyways, I spent hours flicking through my recipes books until my boyfriend […]

Rocket, grape and fennel salad

September 2, 2013 by date with a plate.

Father’s Day in my family is always about the food, we don’t go crazy on gifts. Instead we like to share a nice meal together, and this year I opted to cook for my family (with the help of my lovely boyfriend). So there’s two posts today, the main and the side. I opted for a lovely leafy salad to go on the side of a pasta dish I made and it worked perfectly. Crunch from the fennel, sweetness from […]
