Sarah from Keep Left recently contacted me to ask if I might be interested in supporting Ski Yoghurt for Breast Cancer Awareness month this October. Ski Yoghurt has pledged to donate $350,000 to fund a McGrath Breast Care Nurse and have turned a selection of their 1kg tubs of yoghurt the colour pink for a limited[read more…]
I love this 1960s, Bond girl inspired campaign by Wildfox featuring gorgeous swimwear (it’s from the Northern Hemisphere’s last summer but we’re just moving into summer here). All images from Wildfox
I always feel kind of old fashioned thrifty when I use up leftover things as I did a while back with this dish, especially when they make up delicious, fried potato cakey things .. and despite the crispy appearance of these spicy little patties served with a garlicky, creamy sauce, they’re super healthy.

I received Ann’s book, Mastering the Art of French Eating the other day. I’ve just started reading it but already it’s magical.

Sweet, crisp and light, they were perfect in this spring inspired salad with spicy radish, creamy potato, rich buttery leeks and a creamy, zingy,[read more…]
Not such a perfect day then. In honour of Lou’s passing, I thought I’d play one of my favourite songs. Image via: fashiongrunge
