Scroll to the end of this post to grab a special 10% discount code to use at Sticker You! One of the greatest pleasures of my current existence is picking my kids up from school. This sounds kind of odd, because I’d actually rather leave my kids at school for the rest of their lives,…

On Using Vinyl Backdrops in Food Photography
I’d like to tell you a story. A story about someone who has a passion for food, food styling and food photography. Her story isn’t the greatest story on Earth, let alone the greatest story in the history of foodbloggers, but this is about her journey through the world of food photography and she’d really…
KitchenAid Bakeware Review
When I first became interested in baking cakes (let’s say, at least 35 years ago), there was one thing I realized that I absolutely needed. A stand mixer. I was using mom’s hand mixer, but as any baker would know, there just isn’t anything like a stand mixer and some jobs (for example, meringues or…
Review: Cuisinart Fine Coffee Burr Mill
I can’t believe I had the audacity to call myself a “coffee snob” in an earlier post in which I gave instructions on how make cafe-style frothy milk. How could I have been so bold, for one cannot call themselves a “coffee snob” and not even own a coffee grinder! It’s true, I bought my…
Cheese Platter Picnic – Kitchenware Direct Product Review
It’s nearly autumn here in Sydney (how did that happen so fast?), so why not enjoy these last few weeks of summer outside enjoying some good food? This was the idea Brad Russell must have had when he asked if I’d like to review some summery products from Kitchenware Direct!
Kitchenware Direct Products Review + Prawn & Asparagus Stir Fry With Black Rice
For someone who loves cooking and eating Asian-style stir fries, it’s a wonder I’ve made it this far without a wok. I’ve just been using my stainless steel frying pans for stir frying. I mainly choose stainless steel because it’s not coated in Teflon, or other questionable material, that flakes off so easily. I’ve never…
Squidgy Chocolate Brownies & Le Creuset Ramekins
My husband’s a bit of a worry wart. By “a bit”, I mean he worries almost constantly about a lot of things. He worries about the effects of the environment (i.e. exhaust fumes from cars and trucks, flecks of paint, particulate matter in a waft of chimney smoke) on our children mostly, and at times…
How To: Coffee Press & Product Review + Giveaway
— This giveaway is now over — Coffee. It’s the world’s most popular beverage (second only to water) and is important to many people in their daily lives. I, for one, can not even start my day without a steaming hot cuppa; the very thought of drinking coffee first thing in the morning is what…
Loving Earth Chocolate & Easy Vegan Chocolate Mousse
It certainly is no secret that I love chocolate. I’m the one with the ginormous hoard of different brands and flavors of chocolate stashed away at the very bottom of a rarely used cabinet. I even have stacks of slightly cheaper chocolate for those times I don’t want to risk wasting my more expensive blocks…
Profiline PushPan Review
Yesterday I posted a brand new giveaway for my Australian followers – win a Profiline PushPan prize pack (how’s that for an alliteration!) worth $172! These pans will be used throughout The Great Australian Bake Off series, which starts tonight on Channel Nine. But you may find yourself asking, What exactly is a PushPan?
