Sticky Beaks Pizzas, 29399 Bruce Hwy, Childers
Okay, you’re not going to find a web site for this place, although it is mentioned on a few different tourist sites for the area of Childers in Queensland. We stopped here on our way from Gladstone to Hervey Bay, … Continue reading
Bella Cosi Restaurant, 22 Thomas Street, Chermside
Went to Bella Cosi Restaurant with a group of 11, and every dish was excellent. Highlights were the Bella Cosi Bugs – a pasta dish with Moreton Bay Bugs and an exquisite tomato based sauce; along with the Scallopine – … Continue reading
Pumpkin, Carrot, Apple and Red Lentil Soup
Today’s soup comes straight from another web site: http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Sweet-Potato_-Carrot_-Apple_-And-Red-Lentil-Soup-Allrecipes. You’ll notice that I have substituted the pumpkin for the sweet potato and I’m not sure how this would have affected the flavour, but it was pretty good, regardless. Interestingly, when … Continue reading
Potjiekos
I cheated here and used a pre-packaged spice mix, but I had to write up the dish in order to give a shout out to Gourmet Afrika (http://www.malenyqueensland.com/gourmetafrika/) who produced the mix of spices and sauce. The Oxtail Potjiekos (which … Continue reading
Chicken Soup with Rag Pasta
We had no duck to make the original recipe here, but we used a recipe for duck broth as inspiration for a delicious soup. Half of it was blended (except for the pasta), however we did leave half to enjoy … Continue reading
Cheese and Leek Sausages
This is a rather fancy name for potato croquettes or cakes, if you’d prefer. This is part of a recipe from 100 Main Courses for every occasion, published by Southwater in 2007. We served these as an accompaniment to Tomato … Continue reading
Tomato, Capsicum and Bean Soup
From the Australian Women’s Weekly “Fast Soup”. We served this with the Cheese and Leek Sausages, and the recipe suggests it be served with garlic bread. We actually processed it with the beans in it, to disguise them from a … Continue reading
Tomato Tart and Sweet Potato and Mushroom Tarts
This ended up being perhaps the nicest pastry we’d had in a while. Yet another recipe taken from “1000 Classic Recipes”, we made the Tomato and Basil tart more or less to recipe, but used half the pastry to make … Continue reading
Chicken Schnitzel
This was a first attempt at schnitzel, for which we didn’t really follow a recipe, but how hard could it be, really? We pounded 3 chicken breasts until they were fairly thin, then dusted them in flour and covered them … Continue reading
Zucchini and Corn Fritters
I found this recipe in the Courier Mail Taste section on 5th August 2009, and have kept it waiting for the opportune moment to try it. When I realised I had all the ingredients bar the rocket, I thought it … Continue reading
