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 […]

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 […]
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.
