This dish sums up winter for me, a rich & hearty French chicken & mushroom stew with delicious mash potato, a glass of red, while sitting in front of the open fire. I thought it was only fitting as my last winter post of the year, to cook up my favourite winter meal. Cooking this fills […]

Corn Fritters with Tomato Relish & Avocado
posted by thesensitivefoodie
Do you have a signature dish? This has become mine. One friend has gone as far to say, that if he had to pick his last meal, these fritters would be his choice. Big call! And of course, I am not horrible enough to send him pictures of corn fritters every time I make them……..”insert […]
Fennel, Chilli & Pork Ragu
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I haven’t had an oven since Christmas (yes, my oven broke on Christmas Day while cooking lunch for 12 people). For some reason, getting the part needed to fix the thermostat seems to be in the too-hard basket for repairers. The oven currently knows only one temperature, and unfortunately nothing I want to cook requires […]
Lemon & Garlic Stuffed Artichokes
posted by thesensitivefoodie
A couple of weekends ago I went to a food styling and photography course with Billy Law from A Table For Two workshops. I have done a bit of photography before and thought this food blogging thing would be a breeze, until I realised two things. Firstly, I haven’t done any photography for a long […]
Pickled Jalapeño’s
posted by thesensitivefoodie
I love the flavour of chilli (peppers) but I am a novice when it comes to heat. I am a lot better than I used to be, I used to find satay sauce hot. After years of building up my tolerance, I can now take a mid range heat. My husband on the other hand, […]
Mexican Rice with Chicken, Black Beans & Quinoa
posted by thesensitivefoodie
How about some super healthy mexican? Completely guilt free… not a trace of cheese or sour cream in sight! While this recipe may not be quite authentic, it’s a bit of a concoction I came up with, adding a bit of this and that until it came together, but boy did it taste good! I’m […]
Cherry Chocolate Crackles

(gluten, dairy, soy, egg & nut free) I’m not sure if I forgot just how good they are, or if these ones were just really good, but I think we need to reclaim the good old chocolate crackle back from the kids table. I became so obsessed with making chocolate crackles this week, I was […]
Mixed Mushroom & Thyme Risotto with Lemon Infused Oil
posted by thesensitivefoodie
(gluten, egg, soy & nut free ) A good risotto is a labour of love, and like all good love stories, I’ve found a little alcohol never goes astray 😉 There is a half a glass of wine in this recipe, which leaves plenty for you to enjoy a glass or two during the 30-40 […]
Char Sui Pork & Prawn Rice Paper Rolls
posted by thesensitivefoodie
(gluten, dairy, egg & nut free) While the produce where I live in the Blue Mountains is great, it is lacking in diversity. Luckily I work in the Inner West of Sydney, which has a real mixing pot of cultures. I love going to different areas and visiting shops that have amazing food and produce available. […]
