A kitchen is truly the heart of the home, both in terms of its importance and its position. We spend more active time in our kitchens than almost any other room in the house, and these days so many kitchens are connected to open-plan living spaces. A well-designed kitchen should be beautiful, but it also has to be functional. Achieving both isn’t as difficult as you might think... Read More...

I love a bit of quince paste on a cheese platter. These hard, pear-like fruits are in season now. If you’ve never tried cooking with them before, this is a nice simple recipe to try.

As the weather cools there’s nothing nicer than a roast dinner. This lovely herby chicken is delicious enough for a special occasion, but easy enough for a mid-week dinner.

For those of you intending to visit Milan's Design Week we have rounded up nine additional recommendations for events, shows, exhibitions and launches that you do not want to miss

It’s Autumn! I always love this time of year, the cooling weather, the beautiful Autumn produce and the shortening days. Pears are in season now, here’s one way to use them up.

It’s well and truly time to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh air and weather! Paella is a Spanish dish, traditionally cooked on an outdoor barbecue by the men. Have a barbecue with a difference and enjoy some fresh seafood in the sunshine!

These are an absolutely delicious Italian antipasti and a favourite entrée of mine. They take a little effort to make but are well worth it.

Pavlova would have to be my favourite Christmas dessert. This version is not only a great end to your Christmas feast, it’s also a spectacular addition to the table!

Asparagus is back in season! Finally we are seeing fresh, delicious Australian asparagus on the shelves and what a treat it is. It’s great just lightly sautéed or steamed, beautiful in a quiche, a lovely addition to a spring salad or wrapped in prosciutto and grilled as a simple appetiser. This dish is a simple weekend breakfast.

There’s nothing better than arriving home from work after a busy day to find that the slow cooker has been lovingly braising a delicious dinner for you.  Winter is the season for lush, flavourful stews and soups.  Osso Bucco would have to be one of the best around.

To launch our new concrete-inspired colour, Sleek Concrete 4003, we prepared a chocolate dessert with a wild berries.

The popularity of the Sleek Concrete, Raw Concrete and Fresh Concrete surfaces has led to the creation of some truly inspiring kitchen designs which deserve some recognition and might just spark your creativity as well.

Being winter, I love a lush, decadent dessert every now and then.  This is my caramel orange syrup cake – gooey, warm, delicious comfort food.

Easter is one of the two big food events of the year in our family, along with Christmas. Traditions must be observed and no matter whether we are home or away – even camping – there has to be the full roast with all the trimmings. Pork is the preference – with lots of crackle and home-made apple sauce. And of course, hot cross buns.

I love corn.  And one of the best things about summer is the fact that it’s in season, readily available and cheap!  This year Mick and I have tried growing our own.  It’s a thirsty crop so if rain isn’t regular it needs a bit of help.  Thankfully we have a rainwater tank so no dramas there!

I spent many hours last month at Eurocucina, the kitchen section (I say section, but it’s bigger than most standalone trade fairs) of Salone del Mobile in Milan. I thought I’d share the top trends I noticed.

Creating a space which is ideal for entertaining has completely changed the way we design our homes. From newly built homes to modern renovations, the latest design trends are all about bringing people together and making the kitchen the heart of the home.
