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….

Eat Your Greens on Pizza
I spent the weekend at my grandparents’ house. It had been over 2 years since I had been there. Not because I don’t love them, or they live interstate, life just seemed to get in the way. When I saw their faces, I was flooded by a wave of shame. I couldn’t believe I had…
Chocolate + Beetroot Cake
Social media was making me unhappy. I mean, I am not actually unhappy. Overall I think I am quite content – my family, friends, my home. My life. It has its ups and downs but it is generally pretty good. Yet sometimes I still feel that something is missing, somewhere between the heart and the belly button. I’ve really been…
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…
Strawberry Buttermilk Pancakes
10 Reasons To Love Pancakes – 1. They are pretty much the fastest ‘treat’ you can whip up. 2. I always have the necessary ingredients in my fridge and pantry. 3. You can utilise whichever fruit you have in the fruit bowl. 4. If you have no fruit, you can use jam. 5. If you…
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…
Zucchini + Sultana Loaf
Zucchini in a cake? Yes. I can feel all of you frowning. And the pity you have for my poor young son who has one of ‘those’ mothers. You know, the kind who hides vegetables in their food. Even in the goddamn cakes! That poor poor boy! To my defence, carrots are socially accepted in…
Chocolate Hazelnut Torte with Salted Caramel + Coconut Cream
Laura Wright from The First Mess has pretty much ruled Pinterest since uploading the photos from her Chocolate Hazelnut Torte recipe. My jaw hit the floor when I first saw it. It had the words ‘salted date caramel’, ‘hazelnut’ and ‘coconut cream’ in the title. It was vegan. And gluten free! I read through the…
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…
