Are you getting a bit bored with your usual pasta dishes?  This recipe might just do the trick in renewing your interest in pasta by removing the normal tomato base and adding in some nuts!
Porcini mushrooms, are a favourite among the Italians and the lovely woody flavour blends well with the crunchiness of the nuts.  [...]

Belated, I know, but last week’s poll showed that most people visiting the site love spicy food! Indian food is a hit among most of you polling 42% to be a clear winner!
Thai and Italian food tied up with 25% each, then a 8% vote to Mexican food.
Chinese, Spanish and German didn’t get a vote [...]

I asked my mum what she’d like for soup this week and she said potato and leek. Not that I have anything against a traditional potato and leek soup, but I’ve made a couple and wanted something unique! So the challenge was to try and make something a little different and [...]

It’s definitely hitting a very cool winter now in Melbourne, although our rain still doesn’t want to hit us yet. I was nervous today before playing hockey because it was meant to hail. We managed to get through our game with no hail and for that matter no rain at all. It’s [...]

Last week, I had an idea to make some italian meatballs on pasta and, although they turned out a little like hamburgers, they tasted quite good and I reckon worthy of putting up. Not only can these meatballs be used in this dish, but tried on their own as a burger. They’ve got a little [...]

I’m a little tender today from my first hockey match yesterday for the proper season. We played against a team that came down from the higher league and I got a bit of a workout.
Food-wise, I’ve been managing to make some different pasta dishes in preperation for the next day at hockey. I’ll [...]

Before heading to the Western Bulldogs match against St.Kilda for a great win, my parents and I headed to Greco in Crown Casion for dinner. This place is always banked back with queues to get in and I always thought it was because of the grand display of cakes and desserts on offer, but, [...]

I was debating whether to post this recipe or not, as the photo itself is not the best.  What I’ve noticed is that I haven’t been able to take a good photo of noodles ever.  No matter what I do they never turn out!  However, it doesn’t mean that it lacks in the flavour!
