Could pumpkin bread be the new banana bread? It seems to be replacing banana bread on the breakfast menus of Sydney’s best cafes. The first time I tried pumpkin bread was at my favorite Sydney cafe, West Juliett in Marrickville. I shared a slice with a friend as we on the way to the airport,…

Kim Boyce’s Oatmeal Pancakes Recipe | Nutritious and Satisfying
Even though I’ve had a mainly vegetarian diet for many years, I’ve never really been much of a wholegrain type of vegetarian. Perhaps this has been a reaction to the overly virtuous, heavily wholemeal vegetarian food of the 1970s and ’80s.

Spinach and Cheese Strata: The Perfect Make Ahead Breakfast
It’s tough being a World Cup fan in Australia. Apart from that one glorious moment when South Korea and Japan hosted the 2002 World Cup (and we had the absolute luxury of a southern hemisphere time zone), in general, the Australian football fan who wants to watch the World Cup tournament has to adjust to…

Molly Wizenberg’s Granola No. 5 Recipe: Simple, Savory, and Magical
I haven’t baked granola at home for years. I used to make it occasionally when I was in my twenties and it was good, but there were so many ingredients – it was such bother and hassle that I ended up wondering if it was worth it. Then, for a time about 15 years ago,…

When I was a kid, these simple crepes served with lemon and sugar were the only pancakes I knew until, when I was about ten, we hosted a Canadian exchange student who introduced our family to the joys of real maple syrup and the American-style pancakes, or ‘flap jacks’, as we called them back then.…
