Here’s that mushroom hotpot I was taking about. The recipe is @chefneilperry and it uses a wonderful ingredient I have only recently discovered for cooking but remembered the flavour as soon as I tasted it: doubanjiang. Suspend your disbelief - it’s a chilli paste made with fermented broad beans and if you’ve had something like pork and eggplant hotpot at a Chinese restaurant, that’s what gives it the distinctive taste. Spicy and rich it also lends a deep red colour. Combined with loads of gourmet mushrooms this one’s a crowd pleaser. Personally I’d add a little more sweetness than Neil does but you can always adjust to your taste. It’s also mercifully quick to get on the table, despite how it looks. . Thanks again to @ziggysfresh for collaborating with me on all these wonderful dishes! #sponsored . . . . . . . . . #photobeforeweeat #FCBA #foodstyling #onmytable #huffpostfood #sbsfoodlovers #thecookfeed #foodphotography #foodblog #neilperry #foodiegram #canberra #foodblogfeed #hautecuisines #moodyfood #doubanjiang #chilli #hotpot #canberra #markets #freshfood #recipeideas #mushrooms
FOOD WORDS. Confession, I’m a teency bit of word nerd - anyone with me? Well, I thought we could all do with more vocab to describe our food endeavours so I’ll be finding these and posting them regularly and will give shout-outs to anyone who surreptitiously manages to throw one into their Instagram posts. This first one is me all over - a meal so good it fills the cheeks! Thanks @mental_floss for our first word! . . . . . . . #foodwords #foodie #vocabulary #dictionary #foodwriter #foodblogger #grammarnerd #wordnerd #lovewords #writing #writer #blogger #foodies #foodpeople #lovefood #photobeforeweeat
Mushroom walks in to a bar. Bartender says “We don’t serve mushrooms” Mushroom says “But I’m a fun guy” Bartender says “I just said we don’t serve fungi” Mushroom says “No, no. Not a fungi. A FUN GUY. It’s a hilarious pun.” Bartender says “Get the heck out of my bar.” 🍄 🤣 . It’s ok to be afraid of bad puns but don’t be nervous about trying different types of mushroom! I went a little crazy with the selection when I did my weekly shop @ziggysfresh (#sponsored) but they’re so pretty. And they all have fun textures and tastes. If you want to see what I made with them, duck over to their insta and take a look. But don’t all go at once, there isn’t mushroom 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ded. . . . . . . . #mushrooms #mushroom #foodblogger #foodphotographer #foodie #foodphotos #canberra #markets #marketfresh #foodblog #vegetables #eatfresh #healthyeating #foodies #ingredients #flatlay #freshveg #lifeandthyme #discoverunder10k
At the risk of evoking the ire of all those that leapt at Bec Judd a few weeks ago, I threw my daughter TWO birthday parties and made her TWO cakes. I wasn’t trying to be ‘extra’ - we had a family one and a kiddy one. She was in raptures over both of them so, no regrets. . I’ve gotten into a bit of a rhythm and can churn out this style of cake really fast these days. I’m eternally grateful that the era of fondant covering the base are over! While my cakes are neither perfect nor cheap, I genuinely enjoy making them. This mermaid one had matching cookie pops - just like the cookies on there - which I’ll post soon. The recipe was @donna.hay melt and mix chocolate cake. . . . . . . #imsomartha #cakestagram #cakesofinstagram #mermaidcake #birthdaycake #mermaidparty #birthdayparty #mermaid #buttercream #cookiepops #canberra #cakedecorating #letthemeatcake #kidsparty #partyfood #chocolatecake #cakedecoration #cakedecorator #cakestyle #mermaidtail #mermaidlife #partyideas
Hello! Here’s me feasting on some seriously delicious Korean food from @hangari_kimchi in Dickson. Offering a range of your usual faves, like bibimbap 🤤, they do a mean kimchi pancake and a whole menu of sensational Korean Fried Chicken. This flavour is called ‘Incredible Gangjung’ and it’s... incredible. Crisp but sticky with a little spice. Plus they also do an awesome Korean BBQ that you can share with your pals. I’ll definitely be back there soon for that one! . . . . .Also I finally splurged and bought a dress from @gormanclothing and I LOVE IT! It has food printed on it, including a ham - you don’t see charcuterie and smallgoods in fashion as often as you should! . . . . . . . . #visitcanberra #canberrafood #canberrafoodies #koreanfood #eatcanberra #hangarikimchi #foodblogger #canberrarestaurants #canberrafoodies #sydbeyfoodies #melbournefoodies #eatingout #eeeeeats #koreanfriedchicken #kimchhi #koreanbbq #canberra #canberralife #canberraeats #canberrafoodie
