The word of the day is….. Hangover….and Lasagna!!!!!
So last night, The Runner and I lost the run of ourselves slightly. We spent the day on Sydney Harbour on a fancy dress boat party yesterday that turned into fancy dress drinking at the pub. The Runner and I aren’t old, stay at home boring fogies, but we sort of are. He’s always training…

A recap of the week in the kitchen….
So after being extremely slack Monday by not making a thing for dinner, I redeemed myself on Tuesday evening and made TWO (2) TWO(!) dishes on Tuesday night. Well, actually it was three, but who’s counting. However, my kitchen exploits were not without some drama…. So I bowed to pressure from The Runner and…

An unexpected benefit…
So far, this little experiment is not only fun but is already yielding unexpected benefits: 1) An excuse to catch up with friends for dinner– did I mention I LOVE throwing dinner parties 2) A way to occupy myself while I’m in between paying gigs- a lot more entertaining than some of the alternatives…. 3)…

Coming up next Sunday….. Apples for Jam!
Thanks to the randomness of the “Close your eyes and point” methodology, I’ve now chosen the cookbook for next week. Apples for Jam by Tessa Kiros. This book is absolutely gorgeous, given to me by lovely friends as a birthday gift (I think?). The pictures are beautiful and it’s a fairly thick book with recipes…

Our first attempt- Nigella Express Anglo-Asian Lamb Salad (p.7)
This recipe seems pretty straight forward to be honest. There are no super crazy ingredients and most of the ingredients were already in my pantry. I bought the lamb, salad leaves, mint and spring onion this morning thanks to Coogee Woolworths and the local Coogee butcher. The only issue I have…

A quick word on Bikes, not Books…
So The Boy has a new bike, it’s shiny (well, actually it’s matte finish) but it’s supposedly a big deal…..A Scott Plasma or something like that. It’s pretty– probably not the right athletic and masculine word to describe it but it’s nice…. for a bike. It looks something like this….. Obviously I’m not up…

*** This blog is not Gluten Free……
Even Though I am now which poses its own set of questions and challenges….. I’ve been on a wheat free, cows milk free, fun free detox for 6 weeks thanks to my naturopath. I’ll spare you the gory details of why, but let’s just say that I’m feeling a lot better since going wheat free…

Changes already….
Well, we’ve been live for an hour and already we have a name change…. Nigella’s Revenge is now, He Runs I cook. Why you might ask?? Well, The Boy is currently training for yet another triathlon, which means 1, long hours of training, and 2, a very hungry Boy. We both have very separate…

Hello world!
Ok, so maybe I’ve unfairly singled Nigella out this time, but I blame her- and Jamie, and Masterchef, and Stephanie Alexander, and Bill Granger….. especially Bill Granger. They are the reason why my cookbook (and cooking magazine) collection is threatening to take over the house. It’s a bit overwhelming. I can’t go past a…
