Classic Hearty Italian Meat Sauce - Homemade Spaghetti Recipe
Spaghetti makes regular appearances at our house. The kids love noodles and any Italian dish is a big favorite for everyone. I like to make it because it is easy and quite economical.
Sweet, buttery, and a little bit salty, caramel sauce is as delicious as it is easy to make Ah, caramel: one of the sweetest science experiments in existence. Did you know that sugar’s considered a “wet” ingredient in baking? It’s true, and when heated, it’ll melt and caramelize – and that’s where caramel comes from! Add a little cream to make a rich caramel sauce to drizzle over ice cream sundaes and other desserts.
How to Make Caramel
Sure, it looks a little like a stylishly designed jellyfish or a giant tea-cosy, but the Wonderbag’s true genius lies in saving you money, energy and cooking time. Basically, it’s a super-slow-cooker. But rather than relying on electricity the Wonderbag utilises an ingenious heat-retention technique to simmer your stews and cook your casseroles.

Sesame Chicken Recipe
I first discovered Sesame Chicken when I was eating at a Chinese buffet. The juicy chicken and the amazing sauce had me hooked from the first bite. I knew right then that I had to make this at home and after trying a couple different recipes, I came up with one that I enjoyed the most.Calzone!
Uh-oh…this calzone shouldn’t be a calzone. Nope. It totally should be a picture of a pizza…topped with layers of ricotta, melted mozzarella, cubes of roasted butternut squash and broccoli rabe.

Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic
We had friends over for dinner and I wanted to try a new chicken recipe that would feed a lot of people. I saw this recipe in my most recent library cookbook find, “Barefoot in Paris” . I knew immediately that I wanted to try it but I didn’t have dry wine, cognac or heavy cream so I adapted the recipe using chicken stock and 2% milk. I also used skinless, boneless chicken breast and less oil. I accidentally over salted the sauce so I added a bit more milk to mellow out the seasoning.
My favourite thing to do when I go out for a meal and fall in love with a dish is to try and replicate it at home. I get a weird sense of satisfaction from guessing the individual ingredients, figuring out the method and then successfully reproducing a dish. These walnuts were on the menu the first time Simon and I went to Kumo Izakaya in Brunswick East.

Weather: 52, blue skies and sunshine. New spots of yellow in the trees. What I’m listening to: my 4-year-old daughter “playing” the piano I am once again attempting to ease us from summer into fall with apples – the food language of back-to-school and orchards-a-plenty.Banana Bread Recipe
The best recipes come tried and true from friends who begged them from other friends and so on and so on. That’s the wonderful thing about sharing recipes – the more good recipes we share, the better we all get to eat! This banana bread comes from my friend Heidi who years ago begged this recipe from a ski friend’s mother – Mrs. Hockmeyer (parents of friends are always Mr. and Mrs. no matter how old we get).

Basically you layer thinly sliced potatoes with any number of extras – cheese, onions, parsley – add milk or cream, and bake. The potatoes absorb the liquid as they cook, the cheese melts, the top gets browned.
