Well, I am super-dooper proud to announce that Eat This My friend is 1 year old today! I have been committed to writing, photographing and posting recipes, once a week, for a whole year. Hooray me! It has been a huge learning experience, with lots of favours and ongoing support from my family and friends….

Anzac Cookies for Clancy
My son, who would eat nothing but junk food if he were allowed to, gives me little reports on what his classmates have in their lunch boxes. Mum, such and such has Twisties and BBQ Shapes everyday. Person B never has any fresh fruit! Oh person C is very good, they always have carrots and corn,…
Tomato, Roast Capsicum + Quinoa Soup
Why did I decide to start a blog? Perhaps it is time to elaborate a little.. I used to co-own a little coffee shop with a talented (and highly motivated!) lady, my best friend, Kate Berry. It is a time in my life that I will forever look back on with pride and delight. It was an…
Somehow I Became Obsessed With Food
Food is an enormous part of my identity. In fact, if a friend was attempting to describe me to another, I am fairly certain it would be something along the lines of this: short girl, talks a lot, obsessed with food. Yep, that’s me. Surprisingly it has not always been this way. I mean, I have…
Rice Paper Rolls, Two Ways
I’ll be honest, Rice Paper Rolls are not usually part of my repertoire. I mean I love them, but I generally just buy them rather than make them at home (which, is pretty peculiar behaviour for me actually!). Unfortunately I am super fussy and cannot bring myself to even try the ones from the local suburban ‘Sushi’ shop….
Red Rice Salad with Apple, Walnuts + Boiled Eggs
The weather in Victoria has shifted, and in the most glorious way. Most days have some sunshine and the nights are crisp and cool. The oven is often on without fear of heating up house. New season apples are on display at the green grocer. How lovely is Autumn. This salad is pretty classic…
Corn, Spring Onion + Ricotta Quiche
Us mothers at Clancy’s school organised a get-together, to celebrate our children surviving the first month of prep and our own new found friendships. Basically an excuse to have a glass of wine, eat cheese and socialise (like we needed one). Being the obsessive food lover that I am, I always see situations like these…
Burst Cherry Tomato Sauce: The Little Black Dress of the Kitchen
Thanks to some generous friends, our own little veggie garden, and a ‘special’ at the green grocer, I ended up with a glut of tomatoes. Mainly cherry tomatoes. I googled a couple of recipes but none had really grabbed me. I have a lovely and super talented chef friend (Angela) who I call often with…
Millet Stuffed Peppers
Ironically, ancient grains are relatively new to us modern folk. But there is no need to let your unfamiliarity keep you from trying them. In fact, once you realise just how simple they are to prepare they may very well become weeknight favourites in your kitchen too. Quinoa. Farro. Teff. Spelt. Kamut. Amaranth. Millet….
Summertime Lentil Salad
There was a time in my life when I hated lentils. I blame it on those large green ones, you know, the ones that are super mealy and a bit dry. Mum used to cook these for dinner. Stupid mushy dry lentils. This could also be the reason why many of you aren’t too…
