  • REHEATED: Campfire Potatoes RULE!

    REHEATED: Campfire Potatoes RULE!
    Dec 21 2025

    There is nothing my kids love more than a fire-roasted potato, wrapped in foil and eaten with lashings of butter and salt when huddled next to the tent on one of our camping trips.

    But what about when there's a Total Fire Ban and you can't have a fire?

    Or what about when you get back to the city and you're still craving that Camp Life?

  • Dirty Martini Dip - with Cheese Straws

    Dirty Martini Dip - with Cheese Straws
    Dec 16 2025

    Yumi is a bit triggered by positive talk about alcohol and a bit triggered by the "dirty" in "dirty martini" - but there's no booze in Simon's recipe for a dip that you can put together in less time than it take for a friend to text and say, "I'm coming over!"


    DIRTY MARTINI DIP:

    Take a jar of good quality stuffed green olives and decant them into a powerful blender

    splash in a bit of the brine

    Add a tablespoon of cream cheese or Greek yoghurt

    Squeeze of lemon

    Pinch of garlic powder

    Pulse to a tapenade texture

    SERVE from a Martini glass with an olive on a cocktail stick for decoration


    WARM CHEESE STRAWS:

    Take a sheet of thawed puff pastry

    brush with beaten egg

    scatter with your favourite leftover cheese, something sharp

    season with salt and pepper

    (Simon doesn't say this but I would also add sesame seeds)

    FOLD IN HALF

    Slice into strips

    Give the strips a little twist and spread them on a tray

    Bake in a pre-heated 200C oven and cook for 12 minutes. Serve warm.
