I live in the Northern Suburbs of Brisbane a short drive from the nearest boat launching ramp! Yes, my partner made the mistake of teaching me to fish. I found this website hunting for a slightly different way to prepare the latest catch and here I am.
I work for a large Pathology company which keeps me busy when I'm not cooking, attempting to create a vegie garden in our new home, quilting or reading or of course out in our little boat fishing.
Have just added a wonderful book to my kitchen shelf "Portuguese Homestyle Cooking" by Ana Patueleia Ortins. I highly recommend both the reading and the recipes. As a 'new' Australian I have to say THE cookery book that is a 'must have' if you haven't already discovered it, is "Stephanie's Menus for Food Lovers" by renowned Australian Chef Stephanie Alexander... but now I've found Recipezaar!
