Everybody had a favourite ice-cream growing up; whether it be a Bubble O’Bill, Cornetto or Calipo. I used to love going to the corner shop for an ice cream after school. For me – it was always a Chocolate Heart if it was for a ‘real special treat’, or a lemonade icy pole on those […]
I could be wrong (it has happened before) but I reckon everybody loves schnitzel. Apart from non meat eaters obviously, what is there not to like about a delicious piece of crunchy on the outside, succulent on the inside – chicken breast? Even if you don’t call yourself a good cook – if you can […]
I think it’s safe to say that this is up there with one of my favourite recipes on the blog; salmon and potato tray bake with my cheat’s aioli. It’s simply exquisite. Healthy and fresh but somehow extremely comforting and a little bit sophisticated, it’s perfect for the home-cook as there’s no fuss involved, limited […]
This beef and black bean noodle bowl is the ultimate midweek meal. It has absolutely everything in it that you want. Deliciously saucy beef mince, fast cooking vermicelli noodles, loads of colourful veggies and all topped off with a fried egg and enough hot chilli sauce to satisfy my spice craving for a week! It’s […]
When you go to someone’s house you should never turn up empty handed. This is something that I firmly believe in and apparently Meghan Markle agrees with. The Duchess of Sussex reportedly made some banana bread to take along to the Woodley family’s farm in Dubbo this week. Cooked the night before whilst staying at […]
This is a real crowd pleaser. A potato bake loaded with cream, cheese and crispy salami – you can see why. I went through a ‘Hungarian potato bake’ stage last year where I made this all the time. It’s terrific to have up your sleeve for the holiday season as it’s THE best thing to […]
If you’re reading this – I’m guessing you like food. And if you like food – you have to follow Recipe Tin Eats; you probably do that already. Nagi is the lady behind Australia’s most popular food blog and not only does she have the best recipes going round, she has awesome videos to accompany […]
Everybody needs to have a few go-to salads in their repertoire. By all means, there’s nothing wrong with the humble and old school combo of some iceberg/tomato/cucumber and Spanish onion thrown together in a bowl. This tabbouleh with quinoa is just a little bit well.. a little bit ‘more’ when you’ve got friends over don’t […]
‘Play School’ is an Aussie institution. Recently celebrating 50 years of the beloved preschoolers television show, it’s still going strong and holds a special place in many a person’s heart- both young and old. I love trying to guess which window they’re going through, look forward to finding out the time on the ‘rocket clock’ […]
I give to you – the ultimate Sunday night meal. Throw this crazy simple chilli con carne in the slow cooker in the morning and not only do you get the delicious smell wafting from the kitchen all day, but the only worry you’ll have come Sunday evening is what movie to watch on Netflix. […]
There’s nothing complicated or ‘chef-y’ about this recipe. Some may say it’s a bit boring; too 70’s for their liking. I don’t mind though. Some food trends come and go; think zucchini spaghetti, fancy tacos or sweet brioche burger buns (I’m not a massive fan of any of these things). But this apricot chook has lasted the […]
This blueberry cake is outstanding. The recipe was given to my Mum years ago by a work colleague of hers (a lady by the name of Trish Sewell) and she’s been making it ever since. The ultimate cake to serve when you have friends over for morning or afternoon tea, teamed up with a dollop of […]
My Aunty Di’s from Chicago and as a kid I was always really intrigued about all kinds of things that she grew up with that were so foreign to us. Im talking about things like: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Starbucks and the White Sox. I’ve always wanted to go and see these things for myself. I want […]
I’ve been toying with the idea of writing a cookbook. A compilation of my favourite recipes from the blog. I’m pretty confident I’d be able to get rid of a couple of copies. Mum would probably buy one (or ten), Cork Daddy could palm off a few to his workmates maybe and if my grandma […]
The Betoota Advocate recently posted an article with the headline “Monday Breakfast of Acai Berries Makes Up For 97 Schooners Consumed Over Weekend”. If you’re unfamiliar with The Betoota, do yourself a favour and check out their website. A hilarious satirical newspaper, they never fail to get a laugh out of me. The thing about […]

Do you ever buy pork mince? If the answer is NO, then you should definitely start. Lean, affordable and quick to cook, throw some in your trolley today and whip up this simple stir fry with hoisin sauce. Inspired by a trip I did to South East Asia years ago, I couldn’t get enough of […]

I’d quite happily become a vegetarian; just as long as I was able to eat haloumi all day, every day. How good is haloumi. Finely sliced and seared in a hot pan, there’s no better ingredient to add to a salad. The grilled haloumi is definitely the star of the show in this dish, guaranteed […]

There is nothing better than the way Darryl Kerrigan compliments his wife Sal on her cooking. Take the scene where she serves up some rissoles for tea. “This is beautiful darl. What’dya call these things again?” says Darryl. “Rissoles. Everybody cooks rissoles darl” beams Sal. “Yeah but it’s what you do with them!” I’ll tell […]

The thing I love most about cooking is the story behind each recipe. Take jam drops for example. I have very happy memories helping Mim make endless batches of these for Pa in the school holidays. Boy did my Pa have a sweet tooth! The biscuit containers at the farm were always full of jam […]

I can still remember the first time I tasted spaghetti vongole*; Cork Daddy and I were on holidays in the Amalfi Coast. Sitting in a little trattoria, not a care in the world and making our way through a carafe of wine, I think we were on to our second (or third) bread basket whilst […]
Christmas decorations are in the shops – already! They seem to be creeping in earlier and earlier each year. At the beach for the school holidays, Mum and I’ve been discussing how exciting it is to have Elles Belles and Jez home for Chrissie. Which got me thinking about our Thomas family Christmas. Mum’ll have presents […]
