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.

I feel like such a let-down of a blogger lately. Ever since I started this blog I’ve been told I become very animated and excited when I talk about my little corner of the internet. But in 2014, life has gotten in the way of my favourite hobby and I’ve only been around in small fits and… Continue reading Fiery Beetroot Dip with Feta + Salty Seeded Rosemary Crackers
