Baking without Butter

February 11, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Baking without Butter

I love to bake. It’s one of my favorite things to do. Actually, one of my goals in life is to bake the perfect chocolate chip cookie. I’ve come somewhat close, but it’s still a work in progress. With most baking, you tend to use quite a bit of butter. Back when I had an […]

Working on an Organic Farm (our WWOOF experience)

Working on an Organic Farm (our WWOOF experience)

One of our goals while in South America was to volunteer working on an organic farm, or WWOOF – World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. It’s a way to volunteer and learn about sustainable living and organic farming. When you are a Wwoofer, you are working on the farm anywhere from 6-8 hours per day […]

Pichilemu Part Deux

Pichilemu Part Deux

As all good things typically do, our time to Pichilemu came to an end as we left and headed to Northern Chile. But not without a night on the town with Matt & Mark, who we’d been traveling with for about two weeks. And also not without a stop to get one of the MOST […]

Pichilemu

Pichilemu

There’s not a whole lot to report on as of late. We met up with some more of Allan’s South African friends, Matt & Mark, who were traveling through South America as well. We met them in Santiago and then all headed to the coast of Chile to a little surf town called Pichilemu. Since […]

Khaosan Road & a Scorpion

Khaosan Road & a Scorpion

One night out on Khaosan Road in Bangkok, we decided to cross eating insects off our bucket list! Danielle started with a cricket, mini fried frog and I tried a grasshopper. We both sampled the scorpion. Tastes like chicken…except not at all. Insect Selection… Our Scorpions (look at that wing span)    Danielle pondering if she enjoys […]

Cooking In Laos

Cooking In Laos

I got back on the cooking train and took a cooking class on Lao food. It was extremely fun and, not to toot my own horn, but insanely delicious! There were two of us in the class and it began with Chef Somroj taking us on a trip to the local morning market in Luang […]

Cooking in Bali…or Not

September 6, 2012 by Beth Meyer

Cooking in Bali…or Not

One of my main goals for this trip was to take a cooking class in every country. I thought I’d fail in New Zealand and it turned out so well. I thought I’d fail in Australia and it ended up working out at the end. And then, the country where they advertise cooking classes ALL […]

Throw Another Shrimp on the Barbie!

August 21, 2012 by Beth Meyer

Throw Another Shrimp on the Barbie!

Or something like that… Finding a cooking class in Australia was wayyyy tougher than I expected. All of the classes I found were for Italian, or Japanese or Thai. None for what I considered to be authentic Australian food. I did find one in Brisbane, but we didn’t end up going to Brisbane. So I […]

New Zealand Cuisine

New Zealand Cuisine

On Thursday, I met up with my Kiwi chef friend, Dave, again, this time for my New Zealand cooking lesson. He had already gone to the market so we unloaded all of the groceries and got started in the kitchen. He was teaching a demo course the next day, so first off I helped him […]

Food for Thought

This morning was AWESOME!!! My new friend, famous private Kiwi chef Dave Miller, took me to the Mediterranean Market in Queenstown this morning and gave me an overview of New Zealand style cooking. He gave me a run down of the various stocks, glazes, oils and seasonings he likes to use in all of his […]
