All Rise…
So during the week I had the amazing opportunity to take a Souffle class taught by French Pastry Chef Vincent Gadan at Signorelli Gastronomia in Pyrmont. I will admit that going into it, I wasn’t really aware of what was going on. I’m not a big Souffle lover- they’re nice but I’ve never tried to…

A rite of passage… (of sorts!)
So, I’ve passed another milestone…a dubious one but a milestone nonetheless. I’ve officially broken my first bone. Don’t all go congratulating me all at once, it’s not an achievement I ever wanted to achieve. And it’s literally a pain. So how did it happen? It happened when I was trying to be responsible during my…

Where have you been or rather where has this year gone???
First of all, Happy Valentine’s Day to all of the lovers and all of the loved ones out there. It’s pretty much another Saturday here in our house so I’m on my own and The Runner is out cycling. Secondly, I cannot believe we’re 6 weeks into 2015! Summer is almost over and I feel…

I don’t do resolutions…
…but it does feel good to start 2015 by saying that I’m going to do a bit better. I’m going to be pre-wedding Steph not post-wedding Steph. Pre-wedding Steph went to the gym, Post-wedding Steph went to get ice cream. Pre-wedding Steph read books and interesting articles in magazines that had nothing to do with…

Nothing tastes sweeter…
…than a strawberry from your own garden! I should know, I ate one the other day! Quite surprisingly, my little garden has been going gangbusters and we are starting to enjoy the fruits (pardon my pun) of my labor! We’ve already had a few cherry tomatoes, used the mint in a few dishes and I…

Happy Almost 2015 from He Runs, I….
Well, normally it’s He Runs, I Cook but our stove and oven decided to take a holiday the day after Christmas so at the moment it’s He Runs, I warm up leftovers in the microwave. I suppose things could be worse, our internet could be down. Oh wait, it is. At the moment, we’re full…

Countdown to Christmas…
Well, Happy Holidays everyone, we’ve made it to yet another Christmas season. Phew! It’s no secret that Christmas is not my favorite holiday (even Santa kind of freaks me out now that I’m an adult). Those of you who know me, know that my top three holidays are Thanksgiving, St. Patrick’s Day and My Birthday–…

Stay safe Sydney
There’s nothing like a day where horrible things are happening to bring into focus what really matters most. I’m sure you’ve heard about the hostage situation in Sydney today- it has been truly horrible and terrifying. The worst part is that no one knows anything so there’s been lots of rumor to fill in the…

Greetings from Penrith!
That’s right this weekend’s adventures have taken us west for the Western Sydney 70.3. Not a lot to report yet, except that it is hot. Super hot. Like 33 degrees Celsius (or about 97 Fahrenheit!). So tomorrow could be….well, a bit uncomfortable. The race takes place at the same place as the Olympic rowing from…
