Something Old, Something New…
Recently I dug out the first issue of Delicious Magazine that I ever bought. The October 2002 edition. I did this because I wanted to see how much has changed foodwise since I arrived in Australia nearly 13 years ago. It might seem like quite a random thing to do but recently I received the…

The big 3-5
I cannot actually believe that I’m 35. 35 sounds old- like pets, houses, kids and hover cars old. I thought when I turned 35 in 2015 I would have at least one of each (thank you back to the future) and I would probably be really depressed about not having any of those things if…

#winning
Sometimes you have good days, and sometimes you have amazing days- and sometimes you just have to admit that things are pretty bloody good. And that’s what I’m doing. Because this week I’m #winning. Actually, my entire year of being 34, I think has been pretty unbelievable. First, I’ll state the obvious- duke won the…

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.

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…
