Island Life – Fifi rides again
Darling Fifi, cute as a button baby-blue Fifi. Mmmm. Fifi! Two weeks ago it rained cats and dogs, not literally, but I wouldn’t have been surprised if it had. There was a lot of water, and, well, Fifi has a habit of wetting herself and forming a puddle under the driver’s feet when it rains….

A Wellington institution
If they ever take this off the menu …

Intimate cooking classes Waiheke Island
I’m able to offer a small series of cooking classes in my home, ‘Writer’s Retreat’, at Rocky Bay. Dishes prepared include produce from my garden, free-range eggs and stunning Waiheke wines and produce. Celebrate the last of summer before it is just a dream and we head off into cooler weather. Simple dishes. Really scrumptious…
Hot-smoked Salmon & Avocado
No recipe required
Building a salad
Sometimes I’m not quite sure where a salad will take me …
Island Life – catching dreams
Ah, those long shadows … the nights are drawing in on Rocky Bay. I need to eat earlier now, if I am to catch the light. There’s no denying it – it’s been a tough couple of weeks. It’s nothing to do with the island. In fact, the island has been a refuge: I’ve…
Feeling sheepish
Yep, it’s time to get your chops around some New Zealand lamb racks, riblets or cutlets, or whatever your fave cut of lamb is, so you can join in National Lamb Day. Seriously, there is such a thing. It takes place on Monday.

I’m such a wimp!

Island Life – lemon tree very pretty
My back may be aching, but the garden is flourishing!
Cocktail sandwiches
Sometimes the simplest things are the best but often we don’t see them as such unless we stand back and inhale deeply. ‘Come ‘round for drinks’ just rolls off the tongue when we invite people over, but as the day approaches, it can strike fear in our hearts, not because the house needs a makeover…
Ilaria’s not starving in London
Thank god for ovens, for shallow roasting tins, for non-stick baking paper and for vegetables!
