About me

I'm Sarah the Aussie home cook, I love making delicious, family-friendly meals and treats, using fresh produce from my home veggie garden whenever possible.

I started this blog to share my favourite recipes and share popular Aussie (and Kiwi*) recipes with those that may not have seen them before. This blog includes some classic Australian baking and my favourite meals from Australia and around the world.

If you are looking for a great, affordable option for dinner tonight, check out this collection of 90+ Dirt cheap meals, both my own and from other great food bloggers.

For a taste of Australia, check out my Damper recipe and my fresh and delicious Beetroot salad.

(* My husband is a Kiwi, which is a colloquial term for a New Zealander, our nearest neighbour "Across the ditch", on the other side of the Tasman sea. I'm often making some of his favourite classic recipes from home that I'm also putting here on the blog, like these Feijoa Muffins)

If you are looking for more sweet treats, you can find more of my dessert recipes on my dessert blog Keep calm and eat ice cream.

I post my recipes on a few social media sites on a regular basis, come follow me and make sure you never miss a recipe!
