He usually hates carrot. Now for the bad news. No recipe. That’s right. I’ve been recipe testing for Jaden’s Steamy Kitchen […]
Tonight at Chez KP, we feasted. Oh boy did we feast. I was testing some recipes for Jaden of Steamy Kitchen who will soon be releasing her fabulous cookbook, which, based on the recipes I have tested, I highly recommend. Fast, fabulous Asian food. What could be better? We managed to test three recipes over […]
Its been a while coming but here are the recipes from our recent dinner party. chorizo in potatoes I read about these in a Gourmet Traveller whilst sitting in a cafe in Sydney recently. I didn’t copy the recipe but it’s pretty simple so I probably did the same thing as the original recipe specified. […]
I consider myself very lucky to have Ankle Biters with quite adult palates. Well there is both luck and good management involved in that.

It’s always been my plan to have the Ankle BIters cook a meal a week each as they become old enough. It gives me a break, is a valid sharing of chores and teaches them an invaluable skill. With that end in mind, I’ve been checking out children’s cookbooks pretty much since Son and Heir […]
I do wish that didn’t make me think of Nicole and Keith’s baby. Really, did they not test the name out from every angle or did they just not care? Anyhoo, ‘nough ’bout that. Sunday roast can be a variable thing in our house. No firm favourites, no set tradition. Tonight, it’s roast chook. One […]
Of course.
Lordy me 4.3kg of meat goes a looonngg way. So far we’ve had the original dinner, two lunches and dinner again tonight. We still have lots to get through. That’s OK, the trick is being creative. Tonight was a master stroke of genius. One thing the Bread Winner can eat is truly frightening proportions is […]
