a day in pictures


From the outdoor art festival at Nathan Phillips Square, to strolling down Queen Street and a little dinner at Terroni....

favourite things


One of my all-time faves, the sexy little chanterelle mushroom...uummm.

When I'm lucky enough to get a few of these babies at home, I don't usually do too much to them. A light shred and we're ready to go...

A quick fry in a (generous!) dab of butter, some sliced garlic, salt and pepper, and hey - found a bunch of thyme in the fridge, so threw a twiglet in - wow, I just wish you could smell the deliciousness in the air!
