Tapas Internationalé

May 18, 2026 By admin Leave a Comment

For the last couple of years we have watched the Eurovision Grand Final while eating freshly made tapas. Sometimes they are themed to particular countries, but this year it was all a bit more random. Here’s the menu! Served with sherry, Adelaide Hills bubbly and a Cab Merlot.

 

BBQ Lamb Roast

January 26, 2014 By admin Leave a Comment

THE COOK

I live and cook in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. The region is similar to the Mediterranean, with temperate climate, fertile hills, nearby ocean, wonderful local vegetables, fruit, wine and meat produced locally. Cooking has been a growing passion for me, about connecting culture, creativity, community and spirit. The small garden in our new home is currently being established with some native bush ‘tucker plants’ and a range of herbs. I’ve just bought a yuzu tree!
