I was moved to another area at work occupied by rather more people than the previous area I was in (I do refer to it as Cubicle Death Farm, but only in my head and mostly in an affectionate tone), which has given me a chance to try some new cake recipes and leave cakes…

1. I have actually taken some shots with my macro lens recently that I’m quite happy with. Like the photo of the fly above – I like its crazy compound eyes and its little yellow fuzzy chest. I still find working with the limited depth of field pretty challenging, but I’m getting more shots that…

45/100: Sweet Potato & Chickpea Salad – from this recipe. Roasted sweet potatoes are obviously delicious, and this is a great substantial salad that also works as a main meal. 46/100: Muesli Muffins – from this recipe. I made a batch of these and froze them, and they were very handy to take to work…

26/100: French Toast – from this recipe. This was such an easy breakfast – crispy delicious toast with maple syrup. 27/100: Quick Flatbreads – from this recipe. This is a very quick, fluffy flatbread – easy to get on in the late afternoon for fresh bread with dinner. 28/100: Meatloaf – from this recipe. I…

18/100: Braised Eggplant & Prunes – from this recipe. I’d never slow cooked eggplant before, and it’s beautiful – silky and soft, in a lovely broth. 19/100: Homemade Yoghurt – adapted from this recipe. This is so easy to make and tastes great, plus it feels tremendously satisfying eating homemade yoghurt with your breakfast. 20/100:…

I have a cheap slow cooker that I bought at one point and have rarely used – it sits gathering dust in the pantry. Well, it used to – no longer! It is now a ridiculously large and unwieldy yoghurt maker. I’ve made yoghurt twice, based on this method of making it in a slow…

Remember how I declared I had a marvellous project to make 50 new recipes this year? Well, I was making such good progress that I changed my mind and made it 100. So! You’ll find recipes 1 – 9 here, and below are 10 through 17: 10/100: Coffee Braised Beef – adapted from this recipe.…

We have been experiencing a glut of apples recently, as each week we don’t get through the large number in our fruit & vegie box. Making apple cakes and apple pies just doesn’t use up enough of them for my liking, so I made apple sauce instead. Apple sauce – or, to be more precise,…

I’ve read quite a few recipes for granola, and never really understood the point of it – is it a breakfast food? A snack? Now that I’ve made it, I realise it’s a bit of both, and an excellent way of using up some of your homemade apple sauce (if you’re like me, and have…

While my brother and I live in (roughly) the same city – well, he lives within it, and I live 50ks away – we don’t spend a lot of time together, so it was nice to spend some time hanging out with him on the weekend. I asked for a coffee, which he didn’t have,…
