Usually when I find a food blog, it’s through a recipe shared or an image pinned. Not this one. I found Chasing Delicious through the “about me” page. It’s in the form of a video of the author of the blog, Russell Van Kraayenburg, and it’s brilliant! It’s a must see and I have been hooked on the blog’s content since. It’s written with the right amount of humour, dishes up the most delicious, beautifully photographed, styled and pin worthy recipes and the site is organised to perfection, with each recipe even having the print option. It’s one fine production and I’m so honoured to have the man behind Chasing Delicious, who is currently working on a cookbook to be released early next year, answering my 5 Food Questions today.

When I had my second child, I had a wonderful bunch of friends around me who would drop off meals for my family and me in the first few weeks of arriving home with my new baby. In case you’re wondering, home cooked meals would be without a doubt one of the best presents for a mother with a newborn! One of the many delicious meals gifted to me was this recipe of summer meatballs which went down an absolute treat in our house, Guillaume and I loved it and our eldest child, who was a toddler at the time, couldn’t get enough. I asked my friend for the recipe and it’s since become a favourite for our family. An added bonus, and always a winner for busy families is that this recipe freezes well, so I tend to always cook double quantity.

Last night saw the official launch for Father Rabbit’s new store at Bloc, Mount Eden, a space dedicated to a collaboration of design focused brands. I have to admit that I got so caught up chatting to everyone and having a great time last night that I’m really glad I thought to pop in earlier in the day to take some photos of the new store for you.

I discovered the food blog, Farmhouse Home not long after starting this blog last year. Catherine, the author, shares with her readers the most mouth-watering dishes and most of them are surprisingly no fuss and simple to make. This woman is a real foodie, she lives and breaths it. Recently, and to the encouragement of her daughter, Catherine has been exploring and experimenting at times with healthier alternatives to dishes, without leaving out the flavour – think cauliflower pizza base for one! What ever she prepares, it’s warm, from the heart and styled and photographed beautifully. Farmhouse Home is such a lovely food blog with a real personal touch and I’m so pleased to have Catherine sharing a little piece of her home with us today.
