Usually at family events I spend most of the time taking photographs. But not just of the food, as most of you would expect – I take lots of photographs of people too. For privacy reasons, the family photographs are only visible to family and friends on my Flickr account, though I have featured the […]
The camera may be fancier and more powerful, but I’m still going to be taking photos of junk food – that will never change! Here’s Jac’s bacon double cheeseburger deluxe with heavy lettuce and onion from Hungry Jack’s. Jac always orders her burgers with heavy lettuce and onion. These days, I cannot eat Hungry Jack̵…

I made poffertjes (mini Dutch pancakes) for the first time last year just before Christmas and then cooked up another batch for our family brunch on Boxing Day. On those occasions, I used Koopmans poffertjes mix, which is made the Netherlands. After I published those posts, an Australian company called Poffertjes Yum got in touch […]
