Why I Write

I have a secret…

A secret that I have kept to myself for many years. I have been reluctant to share this secret until now. Why, I hear you ask? I think because people might think that this passion wasn’t ‘cool’ or maybe because I have wanted to keep these tales all to my greedy self. But now, through sheer joy and passion, I present to you, Recipes on Paper. Celebrating Goldies and their food.

These stories need to be told. They need to be shared. They need to be celebrated and they need to be heard. What these stories will teach us is that we are walking a path that many have walked before. Albeit sometimes in a zigzag line, but maybe, just maybe, if we listen, they might teach us a thing or two.

Goldies can teach us about life, about love and about the universal language of love - food.

Join me as I explore some of Australia’s favourite recipes that have withstood the test of time, that have filled the bellies of our family’s matriarchs, and that have ultimately helped build this country.
