Haloumi is one of the greatest inventions of all time. It’s salty, it’s squeaky, it’s kinda crumbly. I love eating it on its own, grilled, with a squeeze of lemon. But it’s even more delicious when you add some element of sweetness to counteract the salty hit. Recently I knocked together a summery haloumi salad…

Strawberry, White Peach, Tomato & Feta Salad Recipe
I hate cooking. So when I have to prepare food for myself, it tends to be super easy stuff. Quite often it’s instant noodles or frozen pizza (I’ve ranked my fave frozen pizzas here if you’re interested). But sometimes I actually bring together fresh ingredients to form some kind of dish. Salads are my go-to…
James Viles’ Pappardelle with Smoked Beetroot, Poppy Seeds & Goats Cheese Recipe
I love a great vegetarian pasta, especially if there’s cheese or cream involved. This James Viles recipe perfectly pairs sweet, smoky beetroot with salty goats cheese and silky ribbons of egg pappardelle. Poppy seeds add crunch and nuttiness, butter builds richness, and beetroot leaves (which I find are reminiscent of kale) bring a vibrant freshness….
Kimchi Recipe
There’s something satisfying and eye-opening about fermentation. Whether it’s a loaf of sourdough or kimchi, the way it’s alive and bubbling is fascinating to me. Most of all, it’s easy to forget about the complex process, the skill, and the time that goes into handmaking dishes like kimchi, instead of just buying them at a…
Corn with Miso Butter, Bacon, and Sous Vide Eggs by David Chang
We’ve been binge watching The Mind of a Chef, and in one of the episodes David Chang makes this jaw-droppingly delicious-looking corn dish with miso butter and perfectly slow-cooked eggs. I’m sitting there yelping how much I wanna face plant in it. Lucky for me, I have a wonderful boyfriend who makes it for dinner…
Donna Hay’s Spaghetti with Cauliflower, Burrata and Thyme
There’s nothing I love more than carbs. Except carbs with cheese. When I first discovered burrata in an entree at Universal (RIP) a while ago, my mind was kind of blown. I’ve loved mozzarella even as a kid in Germany. But seriously – an oozing, creamy interior makes that stuff even better. So whenever I…
Dan Hong’s Grilled Corn with Lime and Parmesan
I can get a bit obsessive about certain things in life. Black Milk swimsuits. Catching up on drama on the Sydney Food Bloggers Facebook page. Taylor Lautner (don’t ask). Stalking Dan Hong on Instagram. The list goes on. I’m also obsessed with corn. If there’s grilled corn on a menu at any given restaurant, there’s a very high chance…
Mini Goats Cheese & Asparagus Tart Recipe
Eric likes making everything from scratch when he cooks. So this means when he’s baking tarts or quiches, he insists on making the pastry from scratch, too. What goes into your homemade tart is completely up to you. Over the weekend Eric bought some baby asparagus and then used goats cheese we had left over in our fridge. You…
