Soft Pretzels, Doing the Twist


The perfect cure for a gloomy Sunday afternoon is a day in the kitchen. Today was that kind of day, so when hubby suggested making some homemade soft pretzels I didn't protest. I have had fresh soft pretzels on my list of must-make-in-my-lifetime for quite a while now, honestly I don't know why I've waited so long. Yes, the recipe requires some time dedication but it's not all that difficult really.

There were some many pictures to take, I chronicled a step-by-step guide for us all. But alas, this is not a picture book (so sad for me) so I will show you my last few. With a dozen pretzels I was able to get creative. I made 3 with sea salt, 3 with cinnamon sugar, 3 with garlic and parmesan seasoning and 3 plain (for those boring folks in the house, you know who you are). I couldn't wait for them to cool before I gobbled a nibble of each and every one (except the plain...pretty sure it was rather dull). And I was so excited they actually tasted like real pretzels, which is always a plus when that's what you're aiming for.

How to make your own Haggis

Haggis sausage
Robert Burns is Scotland's favourite son, the source of inspiration for their literary tradition, and the man with the words that are uttered on Robbie Burn's night, most notably "An Ode to a Haggis".

Haggis! The very words send shivers down the spines of bbq-loving Australians! Why? Many Aussies are part Scottish, at least, and have Haggis in their blood

Stuffed Tenderloin with Foie Gras and Bacon


Aussie beef are amongst the best in the world - succulent, tender and full of natural flavours. It's not uncommon to find Australian beef - sirloin, tenderloin etc. - selling in overseas supermarkets for 4-5 times the price we pay here, not to mention the exorbitant sums of money a nice piece of Aussie steak would set you back at a restaurant

Deep-fried Cheese


I love cheese and also like to try new ways of eating them but hadn't tried deep-frying them until I came across this recipe. The heat of the oil softens the cheese considerably which contrasts really well with the crunchy crisp breadcrumbs - simple and delicious
