Welcome

These are tried, tested and much loved recipes. Our families and friends are always unselfish and devote themselves to taste-testing these delicious creations and demand them repeatedly time and time again.

Our aim is to share with you our favourite meals and the little tricks and tips we have learnt along the way.

Time is precious.

Food is expensive.

Both are resources too valuable to waste.

We want to share recipes that deliver delicious, nourishing meals - making the most of your time and ingredients.

Life is way too short for bland, disappointing food.

So ... Feed your inner cook - and Enjoy!

Food for the senses . Doreen Reid Nakamarra painting. Queensland Art Gallery. Brisbane

For many Australians, the Easter long weekend tradition includes a road trip - either to visit family or as a 'getaway mini holiday'. Often our country vistas are flat and parched, lit by harsh sunlight that creates colours unlike those of the northern hemisphere. It is different and beautiful. I love visiting GOMA and the Queensland Art Gallery in Brisbane. Every visit unearths a new discovery or I see an old favourite in a new light. One of my favourites is by Doreen Reid Nakamarra, Untitled (Marrapinti) 2008. It has been positioned on the floor so as you walk around and gaze from different perspectives the landscape of the paiting undulates before your eyes. It is mesmerising, magical, mystical and magnificient.

Wherever you happen to be for Easter, take a moment and look around.

Feed your senses and marvel at the beauty in this world.

I think we all need a little of that in our lives. Love, Colleen.
