Peach and Almond Galette
Summer is well and truly over for another year, and with it goes the best of the season’s stone fruit. It may not be good enough to eat fresh, but peaches, nectarines and plums are all still worth-while additions to your baking. We had this galette a few weeks back and it was delicious.

The Best Beach Umbrellas this Summer
We are smack bang in the middle of summer in Australia, and I always manage to forget just how hot it can get. Things like hats, sunglasses and shade become a necessity rather than a preference, and if you’re headed to the beach, the best thing you can have with you is a beach umbrella. Continue reading

My Favourite Sandwich Flavours
It’s no secret that I love a good picnic, and I really enjoy experimenting with different sorts of food to take on them, but sometimes you just can’t beat a sandwich. Fresh bread, around crisp lettuce, tart tomato, sharp cheese… sandwiches are practical, yummy, and so wonderfully nostalgic. I’ve come a long was since my Continue reading
