Just Another Food Blog: Mad Men
http://cupcakesanddinnerparties.blogspot.com/2012/08/mad-men.html
Just Another Food Blog. Because there just aren't enough food blogs in the world! Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Has it been a while? A little while, I think. I hope you've a drink in your hand because tonight's dinner party is slow as the burn on a good scotch and smooth as a mink stole. The theme for this one is Mad Men, inspired by a recent outing on which my friends and I spent obscene amounts of money on dresses that made us look like Betty (season 1) and Joan (season 5 baby). So, the Baked Camembert isn...

Just Another Food Blog. Because there just aren't enough food blogs in the world! Friday, April 27, 2012. Earl Grey and Lavender Jelly. Or as I like to call it, Ambrosia. Doing a late-night supermarket run last week for essentials like milk, bread and Bob the Builder Yoghurt, I discovered that Aeroplane Jelly have a make-your-own-flavour flavoured jelly. This is possibly the best thing to happen in my foodie world since I discovered Supabarn sell duck fat. Obviously, I bought two packets. Apparently cook...

Just Another Food Blog. Because there just aren't enough food blogs in the world! Friday, April 22, 2011. Kitchen 101: Oven and Stove. I've decided to make a few 'Kitchen 101' posts to share the things that have taken me years of trial and painful error to learn. Most of these things are specifically applicable to baking and desserts, but I do my fair share of savoury cooking as well. Ideally, I would be cooking in a fan-forced digitally controlled double-oven (my parents do. Have one of those! Basil and...

Just Another Food Blog: Chilli Chocolate Cupcakes
http://cupcakesanddinnerparties.blogspot.com/2012/10/chilli-chocolate-cupcakes.html
Just Another Food Blog. Because there just aren't enough food blogs in the world! Thursday, October 18, 2012. The Cupcake Odyssey has flagged a little and I apologise. I have been busy (new job, toddler), distracted (ice cream machine), and just plain uninspired. I recently jumped back on the cupcake bandwagon however, and I have a roaring success of a recipe for the more adventurous of my foodie friends. The beauty of this recipe is you can make them as strong or subtle as you like. Makes approx. 24).

Just Another Food Blog: Iceberg ho!
http://cupcakesanddinnerparties.blogspot.com/2012/04/iceberg-ho.html
Just Another Food Blog. Because there just aren't enough food blogs in the world! Friday, April 27, 2012. Knowing that I was bereft of my companion and dinner party co-host, my best friend recently approached me with a proposal: a mad Titanic nut, she wanted to recreate a meal from the original menu to coincide with the 100th anniversary of its sinking. There would be costumes and period music. How could I refuse? In case you can't read it, the menu went:. Hors D'oevres: Pate with Melba Toasts. Our maste...

Just Another Food Blog. Because there just aren't enough food blogs in the world! Wednesday, May 4, 2011. Chai Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Frosting. One of my girlfriends is in the Army, so when she says "I'm in Sydney for a week! If you are someone who thinks that Chai is a type of flavouring syrup which gets added to lattes, stop right where you are. Chai. When Saturday rolled around, Husband and Wiggle were both deathly ill with a cold so I made some hasty phone calls and got morning tea moved to a fri...

Just Another Food Blog. Because there just aren't enough food blogs in the world! Saturday, June 25, 2011. Well, dear readers, it has been a while, and I apologise. Between the Winter of Doom (five bad colds and counting) and the various social events I've attended/catered/organised, there has been no time for you. However I find myself with a rare five minutes' peace - the baby is napping, the kitchen is clean - and a troubling problem that you, reading this, may be able to help me with. The problem wit...
