Teriyaki tuna

This was dinner on the 1st of April, which seems so very long ago! Jac marinated fresh tuna steaks in teriyaki sauce and ginger, and then panfried them. We’re not into the pink in the middle, seared on the outside/rare in the middle tuna that is so trendy these days – we prefer our fish […]

Secret squirrel revealed

Well, my plan to keep my food photography a secret at work didn’t last very long! On Wednesday, one of my workmates very generously did a noodle run for lunch. She passed a menu around, wrote down our choices, collected our money and rang the order through before going to pick it all up. I […]

Temptation Street

On Wednesday, I went to Hungry Jack’s for lunch. It’s terrible really – near my work there’s a KFC and an HJs right next to each other. And next to them is a Baskin Robbins – though that’s not so bad as I’m not at all tempted by ice cream parlours*. But fried chicken and […]

A couple of homecooked meals

On Monday I made one of my old favourites – corned beef, egg, corn and rice. So easy and delicious and comforting. Part of the pleasure of the ritual involves the careful opening of the tin of corned beef – you know, the kind of tin that must be opened with the special metal key. […]

Banana and orange loaf

Last week I bought a bunch of bananas that ripened unbelievably quickly just on the journey home in the car on a warm sunny day. I was in a banana sort of place when I bought them but as the week went on I just didn’t feel like eating bananas, and they sat in the […]
