Three years ago we returned home after nearly 30 years in the Northern Territory mostly in Alice Springs. In retirement we love living in McLaren Vale enjoying all the Fleurieu Peninsular offers and at Easter welcomed daughter Jess who has relocated here from ‘the Alice”. My passion for cooking comes from my mother Ruth to whom I dedicate this page. My love of entertaining started in the mid 60’s when my father Colin Rees knocked down the wall between a bedroom and the lounge to make a dining room. The dining table, beautifully crafted by my grandfather Richard Rees, set with the best crockery and glasses, family favourites, recipes shared from around the world by an aunt, and the ‘hospitality of the table’ formed the basis of the entertaining we regularly do today. Recipes are either family favourites, classic comfort foods, from reading cookbooks or the latest online blogs.
