The hardest part about doing parties for children is deciding the theme. Once the theme is decided, everything else falls into place. I love my parties to be unique. I also love them to be loads of fun and yet educational to some extent. Kids are like sponges and they...

Sydney Food Bloggers Xmas Picnic 2010 At Centennial Park
On December 11, 2010; I trudged halfway across the country to my very first Sydney Food Bloggers Xmas Picnic at Centennial Park in the heart of Sydney city. Well, not quite halfway across the country but from the far reaches of Sydney's upper north shore. And it was...
The Sunday Project – Chicken baths, backyard wildlife, childhood traditions.
I remember Sundays as a child. There used to be unbelievable excitement leading up to it because it was the only day of the week when we didn't have school (most schools in India conducted classes for half a day even on a Saturday). It was also the day when we were...
New Zealand Trip Part I
We are homebodies. We are not world travelers. We seek adventure close to home. Usually a short drive which isn’t long or windy enough to bring on our motion sickness demons. But once in a while, we all throw caution to the wind and let the liberating emotion of...

Homemade Milo Ice Cream And Underwater Adventures With Nikon AW100 Waterproof Camera

Savoury Buckwheat Omelettes, A Newspaper Column And The Title Of My First Cookbook
On days when I am working by myself (which is most days, really!) I eat pre-dominantly vegetarian meals. An hour long lunch break is often enough to explore and experiment with new ingredients to create tasty and nourishing light meals that are not only easy to...
A Very Exciting Announcement – Elle Australia Monthly Food Feature
The time is here. For another exciting announcement. I have been tight lipped about this one for a few months now. Way before I got the cookbook deal. A few months ago I was asked by Amy Starr (ex Beauty & Lifestyle Director for Shop Till You Drop and...
A Memorable Camping Trip – Cattai National Park
I am an urban being, more like suburban really. I lived in the suburbs all my life, no matter what country we were in. When you do that, you run the risk of getting too used to little luxuries. Like a bed. A bathroom with a door within two paces of that bed....
The Chook House
Over the years I have become an advocate of eating healthier, buying local, living smaller (well this one is not really true although my intentions are noble) and getting back to the grass roots. Two years ago we started our first veggie patch after...
My Ten Fondest Food Memories
Today I am doing something different. I am sharing with you my ten fondest food memories. Just ten? Well, I do have so many, but these are my fondest by far and I go back to them every now and then. My inspiration for this post comes from Caitlin of Food Nerd who is...
