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 …
Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Bread + Home-made Savoury Pumpkin Puree
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.

Feel free to blame full-time work and my desire to study a few different health related fields at the same …
Slow Cooker Pork Noodle Soup
I’ve learnt this week that talking about copyright infringement on Facebook is an area fraught with danger. While Facebook fighting is a widespread and well-known issue, I’m honestly amazed by the vitriol I received after questioning a group I’m in about the practice of copy-pasting from blogs, due to copyright concerns and Facebook terms of service issues. The situation has been resolved thankfully, but certainly wasn’t …
