  • CHEESE, ROSEMARY & POPPY SEED BISCUITS

    April 17, 2016

    As featured in Ciao! Magazine April 15, 2016

    Rosemary has a special significance for Australians. We know it as a symbol of remembrance – its use has even been shown to boost memory – and it also grows wild on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

  • Zhajiang Mian (AKA Chinese Spag Bol)

    June 6, 2014

    4 Comments

    This is one of the dishes I HAVE to order whenever Mr Black and I go for dumplings in Ashfield. The noodles are chewy, the pork mince fragrant and rich, and the cucumber – even though I usually detest it – offers the perfect coolness and crunch in contrast. It’s also dead simple to make at home, bonus! Continue reading →

  • The Stinking Bishops, Enmore

    April 6, 2014

    4 Comments

    The Stinking Bishops is a newly opened cheesemonger-slash-cheese-and-wine-bar with all the delicious things which I desperately needed after nine long months of pregnancy: cheese, wine, cured meats, and coffee.

    Did I mention cheese? Continue reading →

  • My fried rice

    January 14, 2014

    Rice has always been my favourite staple. As an accompaniment to soak up delicious sauces or even just on its own, plain steamed rice is my comfort food.

    So you may find it odd that growing up I never had fried rice; we just didn’t cook it in our house. As an adult however, I have found that making fried rice is the best way to use up leftovers, especially when you have nothing but the basics: eggs, onion, ginger, garlic, sauces, etc. Continue reading →

  • Rich chocolate slice

    November 23, 2013

    Leave a comment

    This is one of the simplest sweets I’ve ever made and would be great to try making with kids. I used whatever I had in the cupboard, which happened to be dates and shortbread, but you could easily make this with other biscuits, dried fruit and/or nuts. Imagine cherries, almonds and coconut; crystallised ginger and gingernuts; or figs, biscotti and pistachios. Lush! Continue reading →

  • How to make perfect stir-fried chicken & my favourite Honey Chicken recipe

    November 21, 2013

    3 Comments

    Over the years, many friends have commented that my chicken stir-fries are always juicy, flavoursome and never dry. Just like my mum’s! Growing up we had stir-fried something at least every second night and I consider my mum to be a super wok-cooker. Continue reading →

  • Four Years of Scoffing & Quaffing

    November 18, 2013

    Just over four years ago, during dinner at Hikaru with a lovely friend, I entertained the idea of starting a food blog – just to share my favourite restaurants and recipes with family and friends. And once said lovely friend came up with the name Scoff & Quaff, I though it was too good a title to waste! Continue reading →
