Just when you thought the classic Italian salad of juicy tomatoes, sweet basil and oily croutons couldn't get any better, the folks at Diner Journal go and add wedges of honey-doused caramelised grilled peaches, plums and nectarines. 

I've been blessed for the last year living with a girl who loves to eat, and will eat anything I put infront of her. So for her birthday I decided that instead of going out for dinner, we should have a dinner party at home. So we squeezed 15 people into our tiny apartment for her birthday feast. 

I made some ricotta late Saturday night after a few bottles of wine with some friends. With vague memories of such 'whey'ward aventures, I woke to a fridge full of fresh ricotta.. what a treat. After a bit smeared on toast that morning I had a loads left so set my eyes on making some sort of fresh pasta/ricotta number.. here's my take on the Sicilian classic Pasta Alla Norma using printed pasta!

This is a great one to get the family or flatmates involved -  lots of hands on rolling and folding in this tasty colourful feast.

Marbling refers to the quality of a surface that has streaks of colour, like marble, and is a technique more often associated with arts & crats rather than in culinarary world.

In celebration of American Independence Day, Guest Blogger Karina brings us a review about an American icon, the pizza.

There's signature dish and then there's SIGNATURE DISH. This one is of the latter kind - pretty sure Isaac whipped up this baby pretty much every day for a year. Lucky it's a damn good dish and lucky he's a Guest Writer so he can share the recipe with us!

The last night before Maxie jetted off to set up life in NYC last year we had a day of adventuring around the misty mountain wonderland of Maleny, visiting friends and stopping off at the Maleny pub for a pint on the way home. That night we cooked up a yum new gnocchi dish for Maxie's last supper.

Sundays unfairly get a bad rap by most of the working population. Transform your Sunday into a day to look forward to by including at least one of the following features: a platter, champagne, feature meal, nap, swim, crossword, gardening, a movie (in no strict order) (on a sliding scale upwards towards bliss the more features involved).

Inspired by a Guardian article entitled ‘The life-saving qualities of pizza‘, the need to a repent a hangover from The Fleet Store opening after-party (a project of Maxie’s along with QUT fashion student comrades). 

A partial lunar eclipse, a night with our intergalactic dancing boots on at Dank Morass‘ Dankside of the Moon and a dinner party featuring spherical meat… cosmic coincidence?

Wanting to cook but needing a change of scenery, we packed our bags full of chopping boards, sharp knives, blenders, kitchen scales, ingredients and serving wares in preparation to invade the kitchen of our good friends at Latrobe st.

For this year's Mother's Day feast we headed to the Yandina markets for produce.
