It's been a few months since my last # cookbook chat and my shelves are currently heaving with all the new additions I've purchased or received over the past few months (if my husband is reading this - they were mostly gifted, I swear!). I know I'm not the only one. Summer and Christmas are a killer ...
# Cookbook chat – My top six Thermomix cookbooks
A couple of months after I bought my Thermomix back in 2013, I filled out an online survey to share my feedback with Thermomix HQ. Unknowingly, I had also entered a competition to win the entire range of Thermomix cookbooks. And I won! Nothing like winning a competition you didn't even know you'd ...
# Cookbookchat – Italian cookbooks (August 2015)
For this month's #cookbookchat, I've decided to select cookbooks about my favourite cuisine - Italian. It has been a tough subject to narrow down, seeing as I own about 324 Italian cookbooks, plus I keep the 'Italian' issue of every food magazine AND I still have Italian food magazines that I bought ...

It's also interesting to see all the contestants on social media this year, although understandably they don't reveal much. They seem like ...
Welcome to the new Scribe & Spoon
Ta-da! What do you think of my new look? I'm so excited to show you all the first of two major new projects I've been working on over the past few months - my new blog. The other project, still a work in progress, is my dream kitchen with a walk-in pantry, and best of all, a working oven and ...
Quotes from the Big-Hearted Business (un)Conference 2014
Last weekend I flew down to Melbourne to attend the Big Hearted Business (un)Conference. Now I have never been to a conference in my life, business or otherwise, so I had no idea what to expect. I have many family members and friends who work in more traditional business-y, corporate-y fields - law, ...
Elizabeth Gilbert on creativity
Last week I had the pleasure of attending an inspiring talk given by bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert. You might be familiar with a little book she wrote called Eat, Pray, Love? Or the movie of the same name? It was the kind of book you either love or hate. For the record, I loved it (although ...
