Chicken and Prawn Pad Thai Noodles for your New Years Resolution
If making Pad Thai was your New Years resolution then this is a story for you… read on my friend, read on. It’s time to say goodbye to 2015; the old suit, last years fashion and the out of date milk… or maybe just plain old out of date, and hello to 2016; the new…

Prawn and Chorizo Spaghetti that is so damn simple even Niels can make it
I did a fair bit of tossing up as to whether I would be telling you about some of my new friends in the world of food or a crackingly simple prawn and chorizo pasta that is one of my all time faves, a flavour combination I have used in many different applications… except the…

If you pay attention to the words that are printed on these new age electronic enviro-friendly, paper-free pages, you may remember me stating that I would be cleansing my body over this month.

Baked pasta with pork and sage meatballs and kale
I have felt like eating something similar to a recipe from my friend over at Cottage Grove House (which you may find here) had posted since I saw it in the wee hours of the morning. 5:30am to be exact. But this is bound to happen when you get up at 5am every morning to…
