Locally grown produce, regional culinary heritage and honest, flavoursome dishes. These are at the heart of my approach to food. I think of the food we prepare as one of the most important cultural things that connect people to a place.

For many January Summer holidays means casting a l For many January Summer holidays means casting a line with a hopeful catch that may, if you’re anywhere along the south coast of Australia, include King George whiting. A particularly iconic fish here in South Australia. This delicious fish recipe is of Sicilian origin where the culinary legacy of the Moors in the Mediterranean during the 8th and 15th centuries still remains strong. Traditionally, whole sardines or mackerel are butterflied and sandwiched with a breadcrumb, parsley and Parmesan stuffing. The plump stuffed fish with their tails sticking out are said to resemble the beccafico, a little bird found in Italy that loves to eat figs (fico). Here I've used King George Whiting fillets instead, adding currants, pine nuts, rosemary and allspice to the breadcrumb stuffing for an authentic taste of Moorish history. Alternately, use flattened chicken tenderloins.

My past Swiss mother in law was a wonderful cook, My past Swiss mother in law was a wonderful cook, so when I entered the family she undertook my education in Swiss cooking and baking traditions with great spirit. Christmas biscuits are a much-loved tradition in both Switzerland and Germany and these Pfeffernusse biscuits (which translates as pepper-nuts as they contain pepper and are the size of a small walnut) were and remain a real favourite. Much like what we know as gingerbread biscuits, they taste of all those typical Northern hemisphere Christmas spices. Despite the heat of an Australian Christmas, they still taste magically festive.

Having to now think about packed lunches brought b Having to now think about packed lunches brought back the memory of this Zucchini, Feta, Rice & Pine nut Slice, which I’ve made countless times in various incarnations over the years. Along with zucchinis being prolific in the summer veg patch or easily available from the supermarket, this recipe is quick, vegetarian and gluten-free. The uncooked rice absorbs the moisture from the zucchinis, binding the filling as it cooks. A fabulous all-rounder.

With now time on day 2 of the SA lockdown I’ve f With now time on day 2 of the SA lockdown I’ve finally managed to upload another monthly Motorcycle Diary post. A round up of my travels and experiences on and off my BMW 1200 GS during what was to be a year of adventure motorcycling. As a variation on the very apt saying goes, life in the time of Covid is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans. From a weekend of laffs and larks while upskilling with @bmwoffroadtraining to Spring blooms, more upskilling this time in Barossa vineyards and now lockdown, the twists and turns of 2020 continue.

Growing up in the Barossa meant that I was always Growing up in the Barossa meant that I was always surrounded by vineyards. My family were never directly involved in grape growing but if you have a business here, you’re indirectly connected. For my parents, at the time is was selling and now repairing work boots for vineyard workers. Well, the time has finally come for me to pull my own boots on to walk and quad-bike the vine rows. In this year of constant adaption and mixing things up, I’ve just survived my first week of Barossa vineyard work. It’s only begun but I will now think twice when the crack or the pop of a wine bottle seal is broken. As it is for many things, unless you experience the work behind the product it’s impossible to truly appreciate its real value. Wide-brimmed SPF 50+ hats off to all in the business of growing the fruit that makes Australia’s most beloved alcoholic beverage of choice. ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ #barossavalley #vineyard #barossawine #mybarossa #barossashiraz

Despite my just posted motorcycle travel diary ent Despite my just posted motorcycle travel diary entry being limited due to winter weather and other endeavours, pootling about SA this past month has been both revisiting and discovering some new places. From an old copper-mining town @kapundalife just north of the Barossa, I revisited an Adelaide museum where I once learnt why some flavours naturally harmonize; an organisation that has long supported women's lives with more than tea and scones @sa_cwa and the discovery of a small sheep dairy @riversidedairybarossa operated by a sixth generation farmer who with her brother are diversifying their farm produce with a vision for a sustainable future.
