The Great Australian Pikelets

Yummy golden little pancakes served warm with jam or honey. Every Australian would have made these many times throughout their youth. My son had his little friend over today and I ended up making a second batch because the boys gobbled them up and begged for more.

Perfect No Fail Basmati Rice

This is my version on how to cook perfect rice….every grain will cooked to perfection…not one will stick together and you can make fried rice dishes right away with no problems!! Note: you will need a saucepan with clear glass lid…as there is to be no peeking! Can easily be doubled….cooking time a guesstimate.

Pizza Dough (For Bread Machine)

Before you start make sure you bread machine has the dough setting. We often have pizza nights and use this recipe for a base, this makes up a crispy pizza base. This recipe uses Australia metric measuring tools – One Australian tablespoon equals 20 mls – Thank you Chef #223169 for the photo idea 😀

Fast Tomatoes With Basil and Balsamic

If you love tomatoes like I do, then you may enjoy this recipe. It’s a quick side dish/plate filler that doesn’t have too many ingredients, it’s healthy and tastes nice. Original recipe calls for Roma and Plum tomatoes but I use what is in season. This recipe comes from a book called “Purely Golden Door” by The Golden Door Health Retreats.

Cumin Potatoes

This is a regular family favourite that we serve with Moroccan or Lebanese style meals. Or Greek or Italian-whatever we feel like I guess! And we love these so much, 2 spuds each is almost not enough!
