It seems like forever ago that I promised to share some specific recipes using Home-made Fermented Pineapple Vinegar – and no wonder, the original recipe was posted eight months ago! Between taking a break from the blog and the really uninteresting ways I consume this vinegar (a pre-breakfast teaspoon of vinegar in water, flax-pineapple vinaigrette or citrus dressing for salads) I hadn’t really been …

While discussing my favourite foods with a friend from LA recently I discovered some generalities about Americans and Australians – notably that many residents of the US don’t seem to find a savoury pumpkin dish enticing while myself and many Australian’s find it hard to grasp this popular vegetable as a dessert ingredient.

Even if it takes me all day to do it! Jokes aside, this recipe fits into my preferred method …

It’s the simple things (and recipes) that often make life great, and this banana bread is pretty great indeed. Afterall, it’s pretty great knowing that even though those browned, over-ripe bananas in your fruit basket won’t make a nice snack, you can easily turn them into the best baked goods on the planet. That’s ‘great’ to me, as I love recipes …
