I think there can be little doubt that here at T2K we love preserving; You may have seen our Christmas Chutney or Berry and Rhubarb Jam posts just before Christmas. As Alex happened to be in Melbourne and another good mutual friend loves to preserve too, we decided to get together and do a bulk bottling session […]

Coconut Curry with Prawns
This meal begs to made on a lovely warm day, when you lack inspiration and energy and just want something that is fresh and tastes delicious. The recipe is from Sophie Dahl’s Miss Dahl’s Voluptuous Delights. I know that the show that accompanied the book received mixed reviews (I really liked it, Alex did not). […]
Chocolate Chip Cookies
I think almost every baker has a few select recipes up their sleeve that they go to in times of need, Sponge Cakes, Scones, Chocolate Puddings, Brownies and Chocolate Chip Cookies. Mastering these five treats will cover you for almost any situation. I am quite content with this chocolate-chip recipe. I have made cookies using […]
Star Anise Ice-Cream
I think I may have mentioned previously that I simply adore licorice. Like Vegemite, it seems to be one of those flavours people either adore or loathe. I simply delight in the taste; one of my favorites snacks is to eat sticks of fennel like you might eat celery or carrots. It comes as no […]
Sunday Bliss – American Breakfast Pancakes
Having recently gained two Canadian house-mates, who have a passion for food that rivals my own, I have had reason to whip this recipe out several times since moving in with them. These are Nigella Lawson’s American Breakfast Pancakes from Domestic Goddess. Fluffy, light and fantastically good with maple syrup, these are not the thin, […]
Lamb Korma
This lamb korma is a delicious way to use up less glamorous cuts of meat and whatever vegetables you have hanging around. It’s also a great standby meal because once you have all the spices, you can put it together whenever you like, with whatever meat you have, eliminating last minute trips to the supermarket.
Minestrone Soup
Sunday nights are usually lazy affairs, heralding as they do the dawn of a new working week. If I can summon the energy, I like to make something for my lunch over the coming week – a soup, a stew, a lasagna etc. Last Sunday I decided to make Minestrone soup, knowing my birthday was […]
Passionfruit Meringue Kisses
So as it turns out, Christmas, New Years, an interstate trip and moving house in the space of three weeks doesn’t leave much room for blogging – my apologies! But fear not; I’m back (as is Mel with her delicious Venetian Carrot Cake) and baking with a vengeance. These are some little treats I made […]
Venetian Carrot Cake
I’m back (Mel that is!). The last two months, I haven’t been as active as I would have liked. My mother has been ill, and is due for surgery on Tuesday. Combined with my jobs major events taking place in January I’ve been barely functioning. Unfortunately all my creative outlets have suffered. On a day off, I […]
Spring Hill Deli – Review
One Friday at work, sick of the usual rotation of local pubs for our choice of lunch, one of my colleagues suggested this cafe. As I had stopped going to Friday lunch 6 months ago (all three pubs near our workplace are average), I was excited at the prospect of trying a new cafe in […]
