I love a tasty coleslaw, but it’s the Coleslaw Dressing that makes or breaks the salad. The rest of the recipe is basically cabbage, so you’ve got to get the dressing right! The coleslaw dressing you buy in the supermarket isn’t very tasty, and it’s expensive for what it is. It’s so easy to make…

Sweet Iced Tea Recipe
This classic Iced Tea Recipe perfect for the summer, and even easier now that I have my own lemon trees. Moving to Australia from Canada caused many food culture shocks, introducing amazing new foods, and causing me to miss favorites, like Lemon Iced Tea. I’d like to say that I only drank home-made, organic lemon,…
Bread Maker Pizza Dough
It’s so easy to make a pizza at home from scratch, especially if you have a bread maker with a dough cycle, and an easy bread maker pizza dough recipe. I love making a homemade Caramelised Onion, Mushroom and Bacon Pizza from scratch because it taste so much better. While calling Dominos is a convenient…
Banana Berry Kissel

The ingredients just sound healthy, but are full of calories! Fresh sourdough bread, fresh garlic, fresh herbs, but then it’s drenched in calorie-laden…
Italian Minestrone Recipe
I love Jamie Oliver’s Italian Minestrone recipe from his Venice Food Escapes show, but have historically I’ve always hated Minestrone soup. Maybe I’ve just had bad Minestrone as a kid? You know, the commercialized canned Campbell’s soup variety with an acidic tomato paste taste. I wasn’t even willing to give this soup another chance, until…
Soup Broth Recipe
Everyone needs to know how to make a Soup Broth – Beef, Chicken, or Ham bones are a necessity for great flavor. A great stock is the base for a great soup. Buying store-bought stock/broth or using stock cubes is ok when you’re in a hurry, and certainly more convenient. Well maybe its never ok…
Tuna Rice Salad
Salads like a Russian Tuna Rice Salad (рыбный салат) are very different from the salads we eat in our western culture. They tend to be very hearty, heavy, meaty and filled with mayonnaise. Western salads are very green, leafy, and light in comparison. Many Russian salads have meat or fish in them, with beetroot, carrots and…
