Divine Vegan Desserts

Amanda McInerney — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 00:42:16 +0000

Wickedly indulgent, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth, decadent – these are not words that I usually associate with vegan food. The words wholesome, nutritious and healthy are more likely to spring to my mind in association with this particular dietary regime – and don’t the latter descriptors actually preclude the former? Read on, dear friend, because I might … Continue reading Divine Vegan Desserts

I’ve found my thrill, on Berry Hill

Amanda McInerney — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 22:29:06 +0000

Quite a few cookbooks come across my desk these days and I just love them all. To my mind cookbooks and books about food are a little like chocolate – there’s no such thing as too much. Of course, my favourites are the simpler, more fresh/local food based books – and anything that references chocolate … Continue reading I’ve found my thrill, on Berry Hill

Amanda McInerney — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 13:31:43 +0000

Another cookbook made it’s way across my desk this week and this one is just a little bit different from the norm. “The Food Clock”, by Fast Ed Halmagyi (Harper Collins), takes current fondness for the thoroughly sensible trend of eating seasonally and gives it quite a whimsical little twist that I’ve not really seen before. … Continue reading Review: The Food Clock by Fast Ed Halmagyi

Christmas Cookbooks

Amanda McInerney — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 04:13:21 +0000

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat. If you’re running out of gift ideas, I can help with that! (My apologies to the unknown author of a carol with somewhat similar lyrics.)

REVIEW: Free Range in the City by Annabel Langbein

Amanda McInerney — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 11:34:51 +0000

I’m buggered if I know where November has gone to, but it’s just about over and I can feel the beginnings of a rising panic whenever my thoughts stray to Christmas. It will have a bit of an extra frisson to it for me this year as my mother will be celebrating a ‘significant’ birthday … Continue reading REVIEW: Free Range in the City by Annabel Langbein

From Paddock to Plate by Louise Fitzroy

Amanda McInerney — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:20:03 +0000

The ongoing and seemingly endless love affair between the media and food or food sources has ensured that an apparently inexhaustible mine of food and cooking publications finds their way onto book retailers catalogues. We can take our choice from over-rated celebrity cookbooks, chef memoirs, hastily penned food-themed novels and any number of glossy themed … Continue reading From Paddock to Plate by Louise Fitzroy
