In My Kitchen: March 2026

 

March brought darker evenings and cooler days.  Our salad days were transitioning to days of hearty fare.  It was such a busy month that we cooked less at home but brought home lots of good food.  Over the month I had the the Sydney Road Street Festival, a Pulp concert, a family wedding, a short trip to Sydney, a trip to the hospital Emergency Dept, the Cake Picnic, local theatre, a vegan market and a trip to the cinema.  It was exhausting though (mostly) lots of fun.  I will write up a lot more about it in My Monthly Chronicles (March 2026) but you will see quite a bit of it below.

The Iran war has put pressure on budgets with rising petrol costs and another interest rate rise.  In addition I have had a plumber call-out  and holes to repair at the dentist.  I am fortunate that we have some backpay coming up from the implementation of our Enterprise Bargaining Agreement at work (they always have a lag between agreement and implementation).

Above is my brilliantly green St Patrick's Day dinner.  I was sad I forgot to wear green at work in the morning so when I got home that evening - soaked by riding in a rain that would have made Ireland proud - I changed into green tracky daks and a green t-shirt.  Sylvia celebrated by making Zucchini pesto pasta -  which was lovely with lettuce, green capsicum, rocket and celery, and a squeeze of lime juice (from the garden).

It is nice to see that the Take Me Home Gnoccheria at 89B Harding Street has expanded into a Grocer and Mangia (cafe) to replace the space that was Harding Street Convenience Store at number 89A.  The milk bar had been run for 18 years by Andy and Phoebe Lee until the landlord sold the building last year.  I am glad the space continues to be one for community, albeit a more gentrified version of the once common milk bar.

We enjoyed browsing through the interesting rage of groceries with some vegan offerings - pistachio spread, choc top ice cream cones, burgers, fresh fruit and vegetables and Back Alley Bakes breads.  We left with a bar of Alessandro Luppolo smoked dark chocolate.  It was a very nice smooth chocolate with ingredients listed as cocoa beans, sugar and paperbark smoke! But at $13.50 for a 68g block it would be a rare treat.  Sylvia caved to the temptation of a vegan tiramisu. The ingredients list was longer with a lentil-based cinnamon cream layered with chocolate and biscuits soaked in coffee.  She was most impressed.  Later in the month, we also had a packet of Take Me Home's delicious green olive, parsley & chilli gnocchi from their stall at Coburg farmers market.

We have had this excellent  TikTok viral dumpling bake twice in March (we got the recipe from #kuzyinks).  Vegetables, coconut milk and Thai curry paste are mixedin a large baking dish and then gyoza dumplings are arranged on top so the bottoms are soft and their tops crisp..  The first time Sylvia made it with enoki, been sprouts and bok choy as on the recipe but the second time (photo above) we wnt with our preferred combination of edamame, napa cabbage and enoki mushrooms.  On the second outing, we also mixed about a teaspoon of cornflour into the sauce, which has to be thin to cook the dumplings but a slight thickening was prefereable to the watery sauce of our first go.  The dumpling bake is great with basmati rice.

We returned to the  crispy rice salad (from emily's eatings on tik tok) that we enjoyed only weeks before.  This time we didn't have most of the ingredients so we winged it and made the crispy rice to serve with lettuce, chickpeas, corn, green capsicum, and celery.  It was really good, yet again!

Another favourite salad is this Carrot, couscous, bean and feta salad that we enjoyed over the past couple of summers.  This time we veganised it with Damona feta and garnished it with cornichon pickles.  Sylvia had a few weeks where she was eating cornichons on everything.  I think life got so busy that she forgot about them and this week we found one of the jars at the back of the fridge and put it to good use.

We recently had too much cabbage and I looked up ways to use it up.   I found a recipe suggesting that it goes well with gnocchi in the way cabbage and potato go well in pierogi.  Then I found a couple of recipes that added sausage to the mix and I was sold.  The photo looks pretty beige but it was a really nice way to fry up the cabbage as a meal.
 

Another TikTok recipe from rhi.scran,  Sylvia was really keen to make these veagn meatballs (cheatballs?).  They were a matter of squeezing vegan sausages from their skins (we used Beefy Brats from the 'unreal co'.  These were air fried until crispy.  While they fried, Sylvia made a sauce of coconut milk and Thai curry paste and served it over the meatballs and rice.  I served mine with Japanese cucumber salad, red cabbage and red capsicum.  The success of the meatballs depends on the sausages and if we tried them again, we would use different sausages.  It was a pretty good meal, nonetheless!  

After our trip to Sydney, we brought home a wonderful loaf of light rye bread from the Bourke Street Bakery in Surry Hills.  It was so good I could have eaten it slice but slice but needed more veg in my life.  So I rescued a box of neglected Casarecce pasta and added it to a stew of old cherry tomatoes, the remains of a bunch of celery, as well as reliable onion, carrot, a tin of tomatoes, a tin of chickpeas and frozen peas for a token green vegetable, plus tahini and seasonings.  It was lovely with the bread and I stored some in the freezer for work lunches.

Here is another of Sylvia's gorgeous collage cards that she made for my sister's wedding in March.  The wedding was a great and I was very relieved to be able to wash my hair before the wedding after a bit of pre-wedding drama.

A couple of days prior, our washer gave out and we could not turn off the kitchen sink tap without turning it off at the mains.  I had a look at the tap but it was so old it was probably the original from the 1960s and I could not get the handle off the spindle.  It was the Friday night before the long weekend.  We had to do an after hours call out because 3 days were a long time without running water.  My regular plumbers were not available.  I asked for advice but ended going to HiPages to find a plumber with a reasonable rate who was able to get to our place in about 30 minutes and replace the kitchen taps. An experience like that really made me appreciate being able to turn on and off the tap.

I have written about our experiences at the amazing Cake Picnic, Melbourne 2026 run as part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival in March.  I still plan to write more about the chocolate coconut layer cake I made.  Today I will share a bit of the cake picnic in my kitchen.  Above is our fridge when we parked our cakes into cake boxes there overnight after hours of baking and decorating.  You can see that we had to squeeze everything else in the fridge on other shelves.

After the cake picnic we brought home some of the goodies.  Queen was a sponsor and as part of our entrance price, we got the merch bag of a tote bag, vanilla essence, fondant letters and a choice of a wooden spoon or a tea towel.  We got one of each.  

The cake picnic vanilla essence bottle was gorgeous.  When the organisers announced at the picnic that there were lots of leftover bottles of vanilla essence if anyone wanted more.  We were about to get more until we saw the queues the announcement had created.  It wasn't worth that much hassle!

This is my cake picnic box of slices.  A lot of them went into the freezer and I still cannot face all the sugary cake.  So much frosting!  I was sad that it was such a mess that I could not take it to work or share it with my neighbours.  I don't think I will be able to eat a lot of it but will probably pick at a bit of it eventually.

The day after the cake picnic, I went to a community play (Little Voice) with a couple of neighbours to see one of our neighbours perform in the play.  We brought food to eat at the tables and it was fun that we were the cabaret audience in the play.  There was some great singing and great piano, but a lot of sadness in the story line!  I took along hummus and vegies with some Arnotts seeded crackers.  One of my neighbours was very happy that the crackers were gluten free.  It was good to eat some fresh vegies after the sugar fest at the cake picnic.

Sylvia had tickets but needed a day of rest after the cake picnic.  She had been so determined to go there after being in the Emergency Department at hospital for acute tonsillitis only two days prior to the picnic.  After making a big effort to attend the picnic, she was pretty worn out and needed a quiet day.

We went to the Vegan Market at the Coburg Town Hall at the end of the month.  By then I was so tired and had eaten such indulgent food that I wasn't that keen on buying a lot.  However, I will always ben tempted by Dubai chocolate and really loved it in a slice from the Little Sweet Things stall.  

Sylvia was excited about the Better Now Bakes stall.  They do amazing baking (as any former Great Australian Bake-Off contestant should) and bought a great though a bit spicy kimchi and cheese scroll; a lovely pandan lamington that was green under the coconut; and a slice of the superb "Jai's wedding cake: lemon myrtle cake slices with a strawberry & pepperberry jam filling, dressed in hibiscus buttercream".  We ate well when we got home.

Sylvia was keen to eat a borek and a burger but I really really loved the South-Co panisse.  I admit to tasting a few of the crispy fried squares of chickpea 'tofu' with smooth soft flavoured insides.  It was all I wanted for lunch so we walked across the road to the Coburg farmers market to buy a fine loaf of Flinders Sourdough bread.  We also bought kale, tomatoes and yellow zucchini.  This was the sort of good food I really needed.

Here is a close up of the slab of pesto-flavoured Panisse that I crisped up in the air fryer and ate on sourdough with relish the next day.   Right after the market we had air-fried panisse with lettuce, tomato and mayo in a sourdough sandwich.  Fried panisse is the best!  It is not just how wonderfully soft it is inside but the delicious mellow chickpea flavour with the addition of aromatic pesto.  

When Sylvia found that Sebby Scrolls were serving vegan cinnamon scrolls in the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival Bakers Dozen in Fed Square, she organised to go with her dad.  They told me it was very busy and bought back some of the lovely mini scrolls - that were sold in pairs - for us to enjoy at home.  They were very soft and very sticky with all that frosting.

As the fickle autumn weather veered from balmy warmth into a rainy day, I made gravy. We don't have it often but it is great comfort food.  I had planned to serve baked potatoes for tea but had a problem when I remembered I had forgotten to buy some big potatoes. We had sausages and a couple of small potatoes.  Sylvia was delighted to have sausages covered in hearty gravy.  I didn't use a recipe but just fried onions, added flour, vegemite, tomato sauce, seasoning and water.  It was so so good.  I must make it again now that the weather is cooling as we gallop towards winter!

In my Kitchen - January 2026

January was a busy month of holidays with lots of stone fruit and salads, swimming and sun cream.  It was a dry month with 2 scorching days of 44 Celcius  that left sad brown patches in the garden and kept us indoors with the air con on.  I had holidays on the first and last week in January so had time to relax and also time to go out.  In fact on the first week of January I ate out 6 out of 7 days.  That is a lot for me.  I will write more about eating out and other outings in My Monthly Chronicles soon.

At the start of January Sylvia changed her diet from vegetarian to vegan.  We have always eaten a lot of vegan food and now eat even more, though I still have some yoghurt and cheese on meals such as the above nachos and salad.  For a while Sylvia was so keen on eggs that it is odd not to have eggs is in the fridge.  Other than that, it has meant checking out lots of new products in the supermarket and trying new ideas in the kitchen. 
 

January starts with the end of the festive season.  We took down the tree, put away the cards and finished the treats.  There was leftover Christmas pudding, stollen, panforte and shortbread.   

One of my holiday meals that was easy to make and wonderful to eat was a Festive Roast Potato Salad that used up some of our Christmas leftovers and it is on my blog.

Vegan products 1: We tried lots of new vegan snacks.  One of my favourites was this bag of DJ&A mushroom crisps.  They were crispy dried button small mushrooms with very moreish seasoning.

Vegan products 2:  Damona vegan cheese is the only one that Sylvia has really loved.  She also is quite a fan of the Numo caramel chocolate bars - one of the good reasonably priced chocolate treats from the supermarket.  Which brings me to Sweet William rice crackle choc koalas.  I've never been a huge fan of their chocolate.  She liked the Plantein sweet chilli tenders but I was not so keen.  The FunDay caramel chews are nice but not really my thing.

Vegan products 3: Some vegan products were no surprise.  I have used Damona cheese before and I don't think it is a secret that Oreos are vegan.  We were impressed by the Oreo creme eggs, which were on sale when we needed to spend money quickly to get cash out at the supermarket for a purchase.  I was most amazed by Hellman's mayonnaise (because Hellmans do good egg mayonnaise it was good to see they can also do a vegan one that is not ridiculously sweet) and that our local Italian supermarket sells plant based Nutella that tastes good (and is made with chickpeas and rice syrup).

Vegan products 4: Sylvia really likes these little chia, rice and chocolate puddings.  I don't like those sort of desserts and was just amused by their name: Fancy Plants.

We returned to crispy tofu cutlets which we made in December 2023.  This time we tried in in the air fryer with a spray of oil.  I also double dipped it in the milk and breadcrumbs.  We served it with mash, gravy and green vegies.   Very good.  Perhaps not quite as golden as when shallow fried but delicious and crispy. 

Tofu cutlets always seem quite old-school vegetarian.  I quite like a lot of the older vegetarian recipes that have lots of nuts, tofu and beans rather than all the mock meat of today.  So I was delighted recently when Sylvia discovered the joys of reading my Moosewood Cookbook.  Of course she found it on social media but thank god someone is still talking about it.

One of our regular hot weather meals has been rice paper rolls.  We have been filling them with vermicelli noodles, vegies and fried caramelised tofu from micadeli.  That sticky tofu is so delicious we often eat some of it by itself but it also gives great flavour to the rice paper rolls without making it soggy.  I find that with the thick tofu sauce, the rice paper rolls it is plenty of flavour without a dipping sauce.  Mind you, I find that it thickens pretty quickly.  If I add 1-2 tbsp water to the sauce it means my sticky sauce doesn't quickly get dried on the bottom of my cast iron frypan.

It has been a month of lots of chopping up salad vegies but we have also been discovering some great new recipes that are bound to be favourites because they offer a lot for little effort.  

Another favourite was Zucchini pesto from Plant You.  It a matter of roasting zucchini and garlic and then blitzing them with cashews, basil, nooch, lemon and seasoning.  The sauce is quite velvety and lighter than regular pesto.  I really like that it holds its green colour longer.  It's been excellent with pasta especially on the first night when we had it with tofu bacon.

The zucchini pesto was great for lots of meals.  I had it for lunch with crackers rocket, capsicum and cherries.  (Mmmmm, cherries!)  I stirred some pesto into potato scones and then dipped the scones in more pesto.  And I had a lovely lunch of leftover pesto pasta with green capsicum, peas, tomatoes and cheese chunks.  (I had also wished I had celery in the fridge for it but we were out.)  

; 

We tried the meal prep burritos - also from Plant You.  Sylvia was keen to have burritos  whereas I prefer a burrito bowl.  Overall it was very good with Mexican spiced rice, tofu "beef" and chipotle lime cashew.  We loved the spiced rice.  I really liked the cashew cream, though Sylvia found it a bit sweet and not salty enough.  And of course we had lots of vegies.  

I was not a big fan of the tofu beef.  I didn't really like the overall texture of the chunks of spiced tofu and also felt it was not dark enough.  The rice and tofu were similar colours and I felt there should have been more difference.  My preference if I was to have these chunks would be a dark sauce rather than just a spice mix.  We found it was improved with a tin of whole black beans in a seasoned sauce - that you can see below.  Alternately it would be good to have the tofu cut smaller or grated and then fried up with brown lentils and finely chopped walnuts with a bit more of a sauce.  

The recipe for the meal prep burritos, was intended to make 10-12 burritos so it lasted us a few meals.  On the second night we had it for tea, we remembered that we had bought corn chips and this went very well with it.  

We have made the Mexican spiced rice again.  I have tried a couple of Mexican spiced rice recipes in the past but they have been fiddly and stuck to the bottom of the saucepan or taken a while in the microwave.  I am not sure it this rice was nicely fluffy without sticking because my paranoia about burning led me to use 4 and 1/2 cups of stock rather than 3 cups.  I think that the rice might also work with brown rice instead of basmati.

 

This meal looks similar to the meal prep burrito bowls but on this occasion I only made the spiced rice and did not bother with the tofu and cashew cream.  On top of the rice was grated carrot, celery, capsicum, tomato, lettuce, roasted almonds, diced cheese, yoghurt and chipotle plus Sylvia's seasoned chickpeas.  

It is just the thing to eat in front of the telly on a hot day and watching the tennis as I marvel at the skill and athleticism of the players, with the soundtrack of the thwack of the ball and squeak of the sneakers in the quiet moments between commentary and cheers!

On one summer day when we were busy Sylvia made nachos by layering corn chips, whole black beans from a tin, and grated Damona cheese. I topped mine with salsa, lettuce, tomato, purple cabbage, red capsicum and yoghurt.  You can see the final dish at the top of the post!  It was excellent. Just the thing for a night I was more busy washing all the potting mix off my arms than preparing dinner.

 

This was the work before our nachos dinner: re-potting the camellia.  I have had the plant for about 20 years and it was ailing so we took it out of its pot and found it was really root-bound.  It took a lot of work to take the dirt from around the roots so we could re-plant it in a larger pot.  I'd like to say it is flourishing now but it is a bit sad.  It is hard to know how much is from the heatwaves soon after or the shock of a new home..   

 

Sylvia is quite happy to eat the plant based Golden Gaytime ice creams.  I don't love the dairy Golden Gaytimes as much as I used to as a kid but I really liked this Lamington version.  It had a lot of chocolate with the coconut ice cream.  I know it is traditional to have the biscuit crumb coating but surely a Lamington Golden Gaytime could have some coconut flakes in the coating.

We had a trip across the river to the Melbourne's eastern suburbs to pick up this sweet little Tiffany lamp that Sylvia bought online.  It's looking lovely on her desk.

I made a collage birthday card for my mum.  Cakes, flowers and a cup of tea are her sort of thing.  We had a lovely celebration meal by the seaside restaurant.  I have written a post about lunch: At the Heads, Barwon Heads.

While out looking for second hand books to use for collage, Sylvia found a childhood favourite: Angelina Ballerina.  It made for a cute collage to hang on her wall.

We made some donations to the op shop.  I found a food processor that I had not used for 10 years.  It still worked so I hope someone else will find it useful.  I also reluctantly put this picture in to the op shop.  The framed poster has sentimental value because I bought it when in Berlin decades ago.  It is from the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and is a photograph by Eugene Atget who was a photographer in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century.  

The photo on the poster was taken by Atget in about 1900 of a house at 54 Rue Vieille du Temple on the corner of Rue des France Bourgeoise in the Marias in Paris.  It was built of stone, when most houses in Paris were made of wood, in the early 16th Century by the wealthy Jean Hérouet, a royal treasurer.  It was restored in the 19th Century, badly damaged by the Luftwaffe in World War II and subsequently rebuilt.  On our last trip to Paris, we stayed nearby in the Marais, but I did not know the connect with the poster at that time.

I have always loved looking at the blur of a human figure who was moving too fast for the long exposure needed by cameras in that time.  But I have too many pictures to find a home for it and hope that someone else gets as much enjoyment out of it as I did.

Much as I try not to accumulate too much a birthday is a time for a few fun presents.  An old plate, a cat and a book on a card, little elephant candles and a literary feminist book.  I am also looking forward to some experience presents.

Another fine meal was a One Pot Pearl Couscous with onion, kale, carrots, celery, sun dried tomatoes and chickpeas.  We added more vegies because we ran out of zucchini.  The coconut milk and nooch at the end took it up a notch to be something we want to repeat.

In My Kitchen: December 2025

December started with the full force of festive frenetic activities and ended with resting in the blissfully quiet period between Christmas and New Years Eve.  I am glad it is time to take down the tree and move on with a new year.  But it was a lovely albeit tiring month with lots of fun and good food and excitement.  I will soon post My Monthly Chronicles December 2025 and you can see a list of more festive posts at the end of this post.

Above are some of our 2026 calendars.  While I no longer write up our appointments and dates on the calendars I still love to hang them in the house.

One summer favourite meal is rice paper rolls.  This is a colourful layout of fillings to be stuffed in the rice paper, with the vermicelli noodles out of the photo.

The weather has been some hot days followed by cooler ones.  There were still days when a baked potato was most welcome.  This baked potato was topped by broccoli, vegan cashew tofu cheese sauce and tofu bacon.  A most excellent idea Sylvia picked up online.

This linguine with a creamy vegan ragu of sausage, tomato and kale were made by Sylvia and were delicious.  Flowers in the background from pruning the garden.

It is ice cream season - the plant based Golden Gaytimes were a hit but I was less enthused by the Weiss Original Fruits ice cream.  I really love the raspberry and coconut Weiss ice creams but could not find that one.  The Salted caramel pretzel choc bits were nice - I liked the crunch and that the pretzels made it less sweet but there wasn't lots of caramel.

We were given this striking tin of Marks and Spencer choc chip shortbreads by our friends in Brisbane.  They were really delicious with a touch of chocolate and buttery crumble.

It was exciting to hear that Marks and Spencer was selling food in Australia but the range is so limited (and expensive) that it does not quite have the joy of being in one of their stores in the UK.  These Colin Caterpillar lollies are fun and vegan.

Our old melamine ladle is faded and chipped so it was time for a new ladle, photographed on a new scarf from an op shop.

We brought home a couple of huge cookies from Oh My Crumbs at the Coburg Night Market.  They were quite sweet but very nice.  Sylvia had gingerbread and I had Dubai chocolate.

Sylvia's latest favourite chocolate is Otherly.  This block of oat milk chocolate was purchased to be chopped up and added to Vegan chocolate mince pies.  So delicious!

This smashed potato, confit garlic and saltbush focaccia and pickle, chive and dill scone from Better Now Bakes at the Coburg Farmers Market were amazing.  So soft and full of favour.

Sylvia was gifted this vegan Farmer Jo Pistachio Spread (from Aldi).  It was pretty sweet by itself but I hope it might find its way into some interesting baking.

Sylvia did some experimenting with recipes before making Christmas day lunch.  She tried a few variations of Pigs in Blankets and decided she love the vegan version of sausages wrapped in bacon with a maple cranberry glaze.  They were easy to cook in the air fryer.

Another Christmas meal Sylvia experimented with before Christmas is a vegan Mac and Cheese which she made with a roux, a cashew cream, vegan (Sheesh) shredded cheese and nooch, inspired by this mac and cheese.  We added peas because ... why not!  It was very good but she went for a really good cashew and tofu cheese sauce on the day which was even better.

I love Nupur's recipes at One Hot Stove because they are flexible and easy.  We made her vegetable dumpling soup but with our own spin: onion, carrot, cabbage, garlic, ginger, firm tofu, kale, rice vinegar (1-2 tsp), stock, salt soy sauce, 1-2 tbsp white miso, dried shitake mushrooms, dried arame seaweed, and dumplings.  It reminded me a little of the way that I like to make miso soup with lots of veg.  We had leftovers and the leftover dumplings were a bit soggy.

We took lots of nice seasonal fruit to an evening picnic in front of Carols: cherries, grapes and peaches.  It was exciting to have these because they are all fruits that we only have fresh during the warmer months when they are in season in Australia.

When we went to see the Christmas lights in the city, we missed our train and had wait 25 minutes for the next.  To kill time, we browsed in an Asian grocer near the station.  This is why I brought home this bag of soy flavoured corn twists (like Twisties).  They had so much artificial flavours that they were too moreish.

After Christmas we had a great Christmas leftovers pizza.  Mine had tomato sauce, a bit of gravy, cauliflower cheese, peas, roast potatoes, roast pumpkin and sausages (because by then we had finished the nut roast).  It was so good.  Sylvia had a similar one with some Damona brie and vegan deli meats from her Christmas morning charcuterie platter.

This Christmas it did not seem right that we only had one ceramic Christmas plate and a couple of plastic ones.  As Sylvia is no longer a little kid, it seemed about time to replace the plastic ones with more ceramics.  We bought these plates at Bed, Bath and Table at their post-Christmas sale.

On New Year's Eve we had haggis nachos with the corn chips baked with a vegan (Sheesh) grated cheese.  It was not as good as dairy cheese but perhaps a vegan cheese sauce might work better here.  However with the haggis, salsa, guacamole and yoghurt, it was wonderful.  We invited E over to share dinner so he could have some pudding.

The (vegan) Gingerbread pudding with caramel sauce had been bought from Smith and Deli for Sylvia and E to have after their Christmas dinner.  They were so full from their dinner and lacking in time that it was left in the fridge looking classy in a black cloth tied with pink ribbon.  So I heated it (in the microwave) on New Year's Eve for a special dessert.  It was served with Alpro vanilla soy custard.

I leave you with more cherries, which are already becoming unavailable in the shops as their short season dwindles.  How I love to eat them fresh for snacks and desserts.  They are one of the joys of an Australian Christmas.
