The time has come to give up my kitchen. Not that I’m complaining anymore. Usually, when we have company over and people offer to help me, the words barely register before I politely decline their friendly “interference”. I am a lone wolf in the kitchen, manically preparing any number of dishes in record time and

Spot Prawn season. It’s here, and it’s only here for a few short (but mighty tasty) weeks (approximately 80 days). I have a soft spot for these little gems of the sea, and it’s not just because they are sweet, with a delicate flavour and texture or because they are ridiculously easy to cook. No,

It’s that time of year that I like to be outside, my toes dug deep into warm soil as a dig weeds out of every nook and cranny in my garden. I’m a bit anal about keeping those free riders out of my expensive organic fertilizer and compost. If you don’t give me something in return, then

So the name of this blog is Guilty Kitchen, but lately I haven’t felt too guilty about the loveliness being posted for your enjoyment. I’ve felt pride, and I’ve felt remorse (because there’s no leftovers), but I haven’t felt guilt for a while. Maybe it’s because as I see less and less of my toes,
