Peanut Butter & Dark Choc Torte w/ Strawberry Sauce
2009-08-02 14:33:00 Those who know me know that while I quite enjoy chocolate, I don’t quite have the sort of intimate, loving relationship with it that many of my female (and male!) friends have. In fact, I can go weeks or even a month or two without having a morsel of chocolate pass between my lips… However, when ... More About: Strawberry , Peanut , Chocolate , Dark , Brownies
A classic winter warmer ? pumpkin soup
2009-07-05 15:13:00 Talk about chilly, winter has arrived in Melbourne and sunk its teeth into the very bones of the city that I call home. Even the more hardcore members of Melbourne’s Miniskirt Mafia (the slightly insane girls who prance about in miniskirts regardless of the weather) appear to have conceded defeat to the numbing winds and ...

Peanut Butter Cupcakes ? two ways!
2009-06-21 14:27:00 When I bake, I have to be on constant lookout and ever vigilant from roaming fingers. You see, my family suffer from Finger Dippyitis – otherwise known as the compulsion to stick their unwashed fingers into my cake and cupcake batters. This sometimes involves being armed with extra teaspoons and spatulas, as a wandering finger can ... More About: Peanut , Muffins , Chocolate , Butter
Decadent Delights ? Dark Choc & Roasted Macadamia Brownies
2009-06-10 13:13:00 “I smell….chocolate!” My mother drifted into the kitchen, following the scent of the brownies I had just baked. I had just set the steaming tray onto the bench to cool, when I saw her nimble little fingers reaching for the pan. Quick as a flash, I grabbed a spatula from the drying rack and gave her ...

Melbourne Good Food & Wine Show 2009
2009-06-07 04:20:00 The Good Food & Wine Show is one of those events which, when it rolled around, perked my interest a little but had never quite inspired me to get off my arse and attend. It wasn’t that it sounded boring, but to me it was the sort of event where you should really go with ... More About: Events , Photography
Sweet, salty, spicy - Korean braised potatoes
2009-03-03 13:08:00 While I was born in South Korea, my family immigrated to Australia when I was just 4 years old, therefore I never really had a chance to spend much time with my extended family - especially my mother’s parents, whom I’ve always loved and yearned for more time with. We did go back to Korea for ... More About: Vegetarian , Sweet , Korean , Potatoes , Spicy
Korean spicy deep-fried chicken
2009-03-02 10:29:00 Move over, Colonel and KFC. Your days are through. Why? Because Korean deep-fried chicken is taking your place! Whilst not a ‘traditional’ dish (in that the history of the dish comes from the influence of the US in Sth Korea rather than from hundreds of years and generations of perfection), this is still a food that has been ...

Red velvet cupcakes
2009-02-22 13:27:00 Sorry folks, haven’t had time to put together the bee tutorial yet - but here’s my adaptation of Magnolia Bakery’s red velvet cupcake recipe! It is very fiddly, as far as cupcake recipes go, but the end results give a cupcake that is unbelievably light, fluffy and moist - so it’s a winner for me! Red ...

Simply adorable lemon cupcakes
2009-02-09 11:11:00 Cupcakes. They’re all the rage right now - and why not? Dainty little morsels of cake topped with icing, and decorated so adorably that they make even the grumpiest old man I know laugh and feel tempted to enjoy one! As for the women…well, watch the entire female population of a large office swoon over ... More About: Lemon , Muffins , Simply , Adorable
Sausage, Capsicum & Sweet Potato Frittata
2009-01-29 01:00:00 *cough* Hi there. Umm, I don’t know if you remember me. You see, it’s been awhile. After a major drama ended up crushing my spirit, I decided to take a break from the blog…which turned out to be longer than expected. To be honest, I didn’t know if I’d come back. But here I am…so please be gentle, ... More About: Eggs , Sweet , Potato , Capsicum , Sausage

What happened to the Kitchen Wench food blog?
2008-12-02 14:35:00 Sorry I haven’t responded to your concerned emails, but the thing is that it’s just hurt too much and taken me this long to get over it.

A two-way with muesli
2008-12-02 13:15:00 No, this is not a declaration of some strange new bedroom activity involving breakfast cereals, but rather two different ways you can serve muesli - a wonderfully fresh and tasty Bircher muesli, and a crunchy, full of flavour toasted muesli/granola that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways! Toasted muesli is a wonderful thing to ... More About: Rice , Noodles , Seeds

Heavenly Beauty - Poached Pear Halo Cake
2008-09-29 13:09:00 Over the years, I’ve made many many cakes that the family and I have greatly enjoyed (though some have been better successes than others), but the problem is that the times that I repeat those recipes tend to be few and far between. Why? Well, simply put, my penchant for buying new cookbooks... (follow the jump to read the rest) More About: Halo , Beauty , Cake , Pear

Father?s Day indulgence
2008-09-07 16:13:00 Whew - what a long day! To be honest...it does serve me right for leaving the baking of our father's day cake to the very last minute...

Sinfully simple and sweet blackberry mousse
2008-08-10 15:44:00 I'm a bit of a hoarder. You see, I loathe throwing out anything, and it takes enormous strength to force myself to do a monthly purge of my possessions.
