Trawling through beautiful book stores has long been a favourite past time, though I must admit more on my travels then here at home, that is until recently. Just like cooking brings back memories of travels far and wide, so does the romantic notion of scouring through book stores. I’ve grown especially fond of dragging my…
The well renowned book, French Children Don’t Throw Food is not only hilarious but presents an alternative view on the way so many of us parent in countries like Australia, the US and Britain.

In the spirit of being somewhere tropical I thought I’d share a recipe I turn to when it’s cold and grey and I need a gentle reminder of the places I’ve been. Places that even whilst I’m still there, I’m aware I will long for on my return home. The ocean, the warmth, the gardens, the palm…

This is my cheats sheet salad, mainly cause there’s nothing to it! Please excuse the not so fabulous pic, it was the best I could get in questionable lighting. None the less, all this salad requires is some veggie prep, whisking up a delicious dressing and 4 minutes of boiling noodles. And on the topic…
Charred Broccoli Salad Original Recipe by Shelley Kamil Whichever way you call it, buying organic has certainly become a hot topic. Some resist it, others swear by it. Whatever you believe, there is a mid ground. I buy organic whenever I can. These days it’s more and more often. Whether it’s beginning the week in an organic store and then…
Honey & Sesame Purple Slaw Original Recipe by Shelley Kamil Truth is, I can’t really take full credit for this Salad. It was actually my three year old who came up with it.
