about me
Could not live without Recipezaar...it is where I put all my recipes that I want to keep. You know, instead of keeping a big box of recipes scralled on the backs of odd bits of paper. It makes them much easier to locate!
As a Canadian-Australian, and I feel a strong connection to both countries. Being from Saskatchewn I really miss the Ukrainian food. Not to mention the Saskatoon berries, 101 different flavours of ice cream, Mom's lasagne, homemade sausages, smoky Canadian bacon and all those beautiful summer fruit pies.
When in Canada I miss the Aussie pav, fresh fruit & veg all year round, roast lamb and bee sting slice. I also miss my Aussie cookbooks so I try and post recipes on here that I want to access when I am visitng Canada.
The cookbook's I refer to most are: Stefanie Alexander's "The Cook's Companion", Friberg's "The Professional Pastry Chef" and The Larwood-Shaw Pool Community Cookbook with recipes from everyone from my hometown. Really like Bill Granger, Neil Perry, Anna Olsen, Donna Hay and Martha Stewart. I also use Super Food Ideas mag, delicious ABC mag and all the Donna Hay books and mags(of course).
