I'm back

Hello!

I've just come back from spending the weekend in Sydney with some friends. (This is why the last two posts took so long to be published). We were staying in a fully-contained serviced apartment complete with kitchen... but I only got the opportunity to cook once. (The rest of the time was spent frequenting Bill Granger's restaurants, see here for details). On our first night there, my friend Matt & I made spaghetti carbonara for the group. It was easy to make, even without my copy of How to Eat on me, and it went down well.

I made up the sauce - stirring together egg yolks, cream, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper - while Matt did the more strenuous boiling of the pasta and frying of the bacon.

We only used a 500gram packet of pasta for 5 of us (4 hungry boys and a greedy girl), but after spending the whole day wolfing down Krispy Kreme donuts, we were happy with that amount of pasta.
