Festival Italiano returns!
Biggest street party to be held this October in Auckland.

Biggest street party to be held this October in Auckland.

The work-horse of spices – earthy, warming, smelling of toasted nuts and roasted coffee beans. I have it on great authority that it is pronounced ‘come in’ (not q-min), though I usually forget that!

Ting-a-ling, Ta-Ta-Ta, Woop or Warble, all welcome to our monthly Song & Poetry Thing. Held the last Thursday of every month at Found Café Waiheke.

Getting a golden crunchy crust on snitzels is easy when you know how.

I wish it would stop raining.

Best balls & baked beauties – read all the bits and bobs about them!

But who said you can’t eat potatoes after dark?

Everything you need to know to find potato Heaven. Get ’em on!

Yes, they’re pretty delicious with lashings of butter and flaky sea salt, but what else can you do with them?

Check out Rag Noodles with Fresh Walnuts (below). This is a super-simple dish to make, and the perfect home for a first attempt at making pasta. You can use all the raggedy pieces and make them look like you meant them to look this way!

Home-cooked meals. Don’t you love them? It’s something most of us think about, dream about, reminisce about.

Mid-afternoon miseries? Talk about a wicked pick-me-up …

Yep! 4th July means party time!

Read the small print if you really want to know what is going on.

Cheese lovers take your pick – smooth and creamy, crumbly, tangy, piquant, stinky, nutty and sweet – there’s something for all tastes.

12th June

5th June 2019

Silky sweet honey yoghurt – all organic!

Faking it. Yep, that’s right. If your quince doesn’t emit a head-turning perfume, just fake it.

Peanut Butter with extras. Whoop! Whoop!

Last Friday’s amazing effort – the Ladies Lunch, a fundraiser for Totara Hospice South Auckland– was a huge success, raising more than $20,000.00 (they’re still counting).
