The River and Wren markets were on in Wagga over the weekend. Cork Daddy and I took the girls for something to do and were really impressed. So many stalls selling local, homemade goodies; there was something for everyone. From sweet treats and health foods to wall hangings, baby clothes and jewellery, the show ground […]

beetroot carpaccio w caramelised walnuts + crispy feta + mint |as featured in the GRAZIHER winter edition 2018
I first made this dish 6 years ago at an Italian themed dinner party we hosted at our place in Wagga. I made this for the entree, a delicious ‘hunters chicken’ for main and can’t remember the dessert. We’d all drunk so much wine by that stage, I’m not even sure I brought it to […]
warm cous cous salad w roasted carrots + haloumi + broccolini + pine nuts
How about a delicious warm salad for a healthy meat free Monday night meal? This cous cous salad is filling and delicious. Meat free Monday for me is really about playing around with ingredients and flavours. We’re constantly told to ditch the red meat for more veggies, (now please don’t get me wrong – I […]
chicken caesar salad
Am I even allowed to call this Caesar salad a salad? With the deliciously salty prosciutto, toasted to perfection crunchy sourdough crumbs, freshly shaved parmesan and the delightfully anchovey-ie dressing – it seems too good to be called a salad. It’s a complete meal in itself, perfect for a weekend lunch or for a midweek […]
lo’s kitchen salad dressing
In the recent remake of Beatrix Potter’s masterpiece, Peter Rabbit, Peter’s rather plump sidekick, Benjamin Bunny is told to lose weight by taking his salad with the dressing on the side. Benjamin is a bit like me as he doesn’t quite get it. “I don’t understand how I am to lose weight when I drink […]
grilled haloumi w strawberries + pinenuts + mint
Since I’ve started writing this blog I’ve had a growing number of people contact me letting me know that they’ve cooked one of the dishes I’ve made. This gives me so much satisfaction and keeps me motivated to continue to share what I’m cooking. That’s what it’s all about. If I can post a recipe […]
lovely lentils w roasted carrots + broccoli + feta | meat free monday
Meat free Monday. Cork Daddy’s favourite day of the week. A good idea as it forces you to up the veggie intake; is good on the ol’ wallet and I like coming up with new ideas using ingredients that don’t get as much of a run as they usually do, or should. Introducing the lovely […]
vermicelli noodle salad
This easy side salad works well as an accompaniment to any Asian meal that already packs a punch. It is bright, fresh and light and takes minutes to make. I like arranging the noodles in to individual ‘nests’ for something a little different.
salad of buffalo mozzarella, peaches & parma ham | friends for dinner
Saturday night. Friends coming round for dinner. What to cook? Well you can’t go past an Italian menu of shared, relaxed food. So throw some spag bol on for the littlies and follow this menu below, keeping things simple, delicious and fun. I like to scribble the menu on a large piece of butchers paper […]
pork pancakes & slaw
If you like duck pancakes, I am sure you will like this meal. There isn’t a duck in sight, instead, a pig. Sticky, moreish, Char Sui style barbecue pork belly ribs, spring onion pancakes and an asian slaw with a delish peanut butter dressing. Yum! I have always loved going out for Chinese; “fried china” as […]
