This week’s Dinner for Two is all about Spanish cuisine; in particular albondgas, patatas bravas & crema Catalana. We’ll also be cooking espanicas con garbanzo, gambas ajillo, and the timeless classic, gazpacho. It’s the perfect dinner to celebrate summer! One of the greatest things about Spanish cuisine is its authenticity. It doesn’t try to impress, […]
It’s been a while, in fact quite some time since I enjoyed an authentic Italian dinner. I really enjoy cooking for family and friends, but there’s something truly rewarding about cooking a nice meal for two. That’s why I’m looking forward to this week’s cooking class. This week our tastebuds are travelling to Italy, and […]
Bonjour! This week’s cook-a-long with Chef Kit is all about two breakfast classics; Croque Monsieur and French Toast. Both of these menu items are famous the world ’round. Why? Because they’re absolutely delicious! They’re also deceptively easy to make. In fact, they’re so easy you’ll be shocked! Both use minimal ingredients, are a great way […]
When we’re already facing temperatures well above 40˚C/104˚F, hot ovens and heavy meals are just too much, and that’s when our Christmas dinner takes on a distinctly Australian /Kiwi style. To many of us ‘Down Under’, the thought of a roasted dinner on Christmas day is a nightmare, and we’d much rather something a little […]

Making soup is really easy. You don’t need a lot of fancy equipment, […]
Growing up ‘DownUnder’, you get to grips with hot summers quickly. There’s no avoiding the heat, and when you’re working a farm, you need family favourites, or Australian classic summer salads, so see you through. These salads tend to be quick to make, can be made ahead of time, and are fantastic cold from the […]
A quick mid-week bonus here: Meatballs in tomato sauce. This recipe is easy to make, tastes amazing, and will have your mouth humming with delight. Not only that, but we’ve also made a video of this recipe! Yes, that’s right, you can get the recipe here, but watch exactly how chef Kit makes them! All […]
French onion soup is one of those fancy restaurant menu items that always sounds enticing, but daunting to cook at home. Well, it need not daunt you now! This week’s recipe is the classic French Soupe à L’oignon, it’s super easy, requires basic ingredients, and can also be revved up a bit for a date […]
It’s one of those dishes that is infamous; Moussaka, and it’s more than ‘meats’ the eye. A layered bake with panfried aubergines/eggplants, a rich tomato meat sauce, and topped with a gorgeously cheesy Béchamel sauce, and it’s super easy when you know how to make it. Moussaka will cast its spell over you, and that’s not […]
