Maria's Food Fix: December 2009
http://mariasfoodfix.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 4, 2009. Mango adds the wow factor. The amazing part of this recipe is the surprising sweet chunks mango that you obtain in the occasional mouthful amongst the fleshy prawns and smooth, silky coconut undertones. Nigella Lawson's Red Prawn and Mango Curry. Nigella Lawson's Wasabi Lime Dressing. From Nigella Express on spinach and avocado salad. Wok oil is heated in a saucepan, then chopped spring onion and red Thai curry paste is added. Which arrived just as I was ladling this curry onto ...

Maria's Food Fix: March 2010
http://mariasfoodfix.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 30, 2010. For the love of dairy. Considering my absolute love of cream, milk, butter and anything full-fat dairy, I was dismayed when my worst fears were confirmed - my boyfriend is lactose intolerant. This news came to us gradually as he loves milk and his coffees so much that he was adamant that it couldn't possibly be the milk that was giving him gut-wrenching tummy aches. Zymil - start producing cream products as well! From The Really Useful Cookbook by David Herbert. Heated until clos...

Maria's Food Fix: Italian Cooking Mama
http://mariasfoodfix.blogspot.com/2009/08/italian-cooking-mama.html
Tuesday, August 11, 2009. My current addiction is the game - Cooking Mama - on the handheld Nintendo DS. My boyfriend thinks it's crazy and that I should divert that energy into real food that we can actually eat. But there's something so satisfying in tapping away at the screen to simulate chopping or kneading or whatever task you've been set! Cast back to my kiddy playdough days! Jamie Oliver's Ravioli of roasted. Onions, thyme, pi. Ne nuts and potato. From Delicious magazine May 2006. Once out of the ...

Maria's Food Fix: October 2009
http://mariasfoodfix.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 10, 2009. Cream saves the day. You've probably noticed that a significant number of the recipes that I make include cream as an ingredient. There's no mistaking that I adore. Cream - more than any other person I've ever met. An iced-chocolate isn't quite the same without lashes of creamy goodness on the top, scones must be with jam and. And yes, I'll have cream as well as ice-cream with my pancakes. From www.exclusivelyfood.com.au) and Nigella Lawson's Hot Toffee Sauce. This dip didn't ...

Maria's Food Fix: April 2010
http://mariasfoodfix.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 9, 2010. There are some moments where I swear I must've been Italian in a previous life. I'm so fascinated by the processes, depth and intricacies of Italian food - which is why I'm over the moon that SBS has created a weekly TV drool-fest: Italian Food Safar. When I saw this creation, I could almost smell the fried fish through the TV! It looked divinely innovative. Stuffed sardines (sardine alla beccafico). From SBS's Italian Food Safari TV program. I remembered the ingredients that were ...

Maria's Food Fix: May 2009
http://mariasfoodfix.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2009. A hearty winter meal. Based on a recipe in the Australian Women's Weekly 1000 Best-Ever Recipes from AWW. The major ingredient quantities were purely based on what I had - I pan-fried 6 thin beef sausages in a small amount of olive oil. In a separate larger pot, I gently fried one chopped onion in a tablespoon of olive oil, until soft. Addition of 2 chopped stalks of celery and carrots. These were cooked on medium heat for another 4-5 minutes. Wednesday, May 13, 2009. You know you'...

Maria's Food Fix: September 2009
http://mariasfoodfix.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 25, 2009. Bringing on the summer with passionfruit. What a gorgeous day for Melbourne today! Bring on summer, I can't wait for lazy weekend barbeques and frolicking at the beach. What better way to celebrate than with a summer fruit - good ol' charming passionfruit. I know that Nigella raves about having passionfruit on pavlova, but I personally think that it's territory belongs as icing on these cupcakes. I recently made a batch of the Crabapple Bakery cupcakes. 4 cups icing sugar.

Maria's Food Fix: February 2010
http://mariasfoodfix.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 23, 2010. A Hearty Meal in Summer. We might be sweltering in the heat here in Melbourne, but I've come to realise how much I miss the hearty foods that I normally make (that also happen to be super-comforting to eat) during the colder months. I couldn't resist this recipe as I was scrolling through Jamie Oliver's website, so I'm deviating from the USA goss momentarily. Jamie Oliver's Steak, guinness and Cheese pie with a puff pastry lid. From Jamie at Home. A juggling act occurred next ...
