I visited my best friend in Darwin last week. It wasn’t the most successful visit we’ve had – my friend has a toddler, and he was sick, and then he gave his lurgy to his dad, and then his mum.…

Recipe: Ravioli primavera
An actual savoury recipe! Who knew I could still do those? Actually, I have an uneasy feeling I’ve done something very like this before. I mean, me, pasta, vegetables – that’s basically my default work night dinner, frankly. But I…
Recipe: Cauliflower, Carrot, Crouton and Beetroot Thing of Great Yumminess (Vegan!!)
As you might have discerned, I have no idea what to call this recipe. It’s sort of technically a main course salad, though a salad with absolutely nothing green in it doesn’t seem quite salad-y to me. I know that…
Recipe: Asparagus and Carrot Pastries
My blog has gone a bit quiet over the last few days for several reasons. The first is that I bought an iPad, and succumbed to the excitement of cookbook apps and also interactive biology and chemistry textbooks, to the…
Living Below the Line: Ribollita (sort of)

It’s been very quiet around here. What always happens is that I write a post explaining why it has been very quiet, and apologising, but of course by the time I write such a post, things have self-evidently calmed down…
Recipe: Root Vegetable Rösti with Peach and Black Bean Salsa
I’m not sure if these technically count as rösti, since they are not all potato, and they do contain a lot of egg to hold them together. More like fritters, really. But when you find yourself with a fridge full…
Recipe: Spring Vegetables with Lemon Gnocchi and Mint
I love this time of year at the farmers’ market. After living in the land of brassicas and root vegetables for months, suddenly we are gifted with sweet baby carrots, new peas, herbs, greens of all kinds, and, of course,…
Anyone Can Cook Vegetarian Food: Orange!
Today is the first day of my new pantry, which is just another way of saying I accidentally spent nearly $100 on spices and salts and infused sugars this morning. It was very, very tempting to make spices my theme…
