How to Cook Vegemite and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
If you have never had Vegemite before, then you haven’t experienced the potential of it’s deliciousness! LOL It is certainly an acquired taste. When I lived in Australia, the friends I lived with ALWAYS ate Vegemite, which is a Kraft product. In fact, Vegemite is an Australian staple, much like peanut butter and jam is in North America. This is what people eat for breakfast there in their favorite way on toast with butter...
How to Bake Feijoa and Apple Crumble New Zealand Style
Today, I was so pleasantly surprised and honored to see a cooking video made for me, Kimberly Edwards, by a very dear friend I’ve known for nearly 20 years that I traveled with in Australia, Lisa MacKinnon, and her daughter, Talia.

Searching for Foodie Friend – Keiko Okuno from Japan
Back in 1994 and 1995, I lived in Australia. In the Fall of 1995 in Australia, I did a lot of traveling to Central Australia, up to the Northern Territory and back down the coast West following it all the way back to Perth. When I was visiting Exmouth, Western Australia, I roomed with a girl from Japan at our accomodations named “Keiko Okuno”… She was about my age – so, she’d be between 33-35 now, I...
Web Chef Review: Wallaby Organic Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt
Have you tried Wallaby brand yogurt? We did and we were so glad we did! Truly… This Creamy Australian Style Yogurt was delightful in Vanilla. It wasn’t like many low fat yogurts that seem to be runny or skimp on flavor. It was rich and creamy in texture, as promised. The way they come up with this flavor and texture is by their small batch cooking process, which also includes long culturing and gentle handling. The result...

Passion Fruit: My Favorite Australian Tropical Fruit
What is my favorite Australian fruit – the dark purple Passion Fruit! Before I lived in Australia, I had never seen the likes of a passion fruit, let alone tasted a freshly ripened one. Honest to goodness…it’s the most delicious fruit I’ve ever eaten! Literally, we had so many of them, as there were passion fruit plants all around the backyard where I lived. I could just go outside and pick them right out of...
How to Cook Calamari – Australian Style
What was my very favorite thing I ate when I was in Australia? If I was pinned down to have to answer this, I would say it was the calamari! I’d never had calamari any differently than the breaded and fried version, as you would get at Olive Garden here in America. They don’t make it like this in Aussieland, unless you go to a fish & chips shop…No, No, No! Otherwise, they’ll skin the squid and take out...
