A year ago, I spent an amazing ten hours sitting in my study, focused on designing and pulling together this web site and blog. Peter, my partner, was away, so I worked through the night, the only sound (other than tinnitus in my right ear!) and light tapping at the keyboard, was that of a clock ticking somewhere in the background. From memory, I published Bizzy Lizzy's Good Things at about 6.30am. Then, exhausted but delighted with my efforts, I drove to the Capital Region Farmer's Markets, bought a few groceries, interviewed and photographed some stall holders, including Carmen and Todd from Honey Delight, and then returned home for a nap. And twelve months have passed just like that! Good Things is the culmination of a lifetime of cooking and collecting recipes, and a almost a decade (plus one year!) of writing about it. Reiterating the words in my Profile, my grandmother owned a fruit and vegetable store on the outskirts of Budapest when my father was a child; and my mother was a skilled and beautiful cook, particularly in the art of baking. She and I spent many hours in the kitchen together; cooking, talking about food and sharing recipes. I like to imagine that my inspiration stems from these family origins. Sharing recipes and my love of fresh produce and cooking has been a passion of mine for many, many years and I hope to continue long into the future through Good Things. Thank you, dear readers, for sitting with me at the kitchen table. Happy birthday to my blog and happy cooking to you! Bizzy Lizzy xoxAt the start of every month, my friend-in-food, fellow blogger and inspirational cook, Celia from Fig Jam and Lime Cordial, hosts a segment where cooks from across the miles allow readers to peek into their kitchens. In my kitchen in August are three copies of Recipes My Mother Cooked - 100 Favourite Recipes from the Country's Favourite Foodies, which I would like to give away. In this book, some of Australia's favourite chefs have gathered to share the recipes their mothers cooked for them. Among them are recipes from Steve Manfredi, Gabriel Gate, Ian 'Herbie' Hemphill, Alex Herbert, Peter Kuruvita and Maggie Beer... and their beloved mothers. The publishers, Allen & Unwin, are donating 5% of the retail price of the book to the McGrath Foundation to help place McGrath Breast Care Nurses into communities across Australia, and to educate young women to become aware of breast cancer. As a gesture of thanks for your support over the last twelve months, I sponsored a special treat and had three copies of Recipes My Mother Cooked ($29.95 RRP) to give away. To be in the running to 'win' a copy of this lovely book, I asked you to simply tell me (in the comments box below) about your mum (or dad, or grandparent, or favourite aunt), how they inspired you to cook, and then share your favourite family recipe if you like. Entries closed at midnight AEST on 31 August 2012. Unfortunately, the prizes were restricted to Australian residents, however friends from around the world were invited to share stories too. I was genuinely touched by the number of entries and also enjoyed reading each and every one of your comments. I truly wish I had 50 or more books to give away. However, there could only be three winners. AND THE WINNERS ARE: Brian Dodd Lindell McConnell Fiona from TIFFIN Bitesized In the event that you didn't 'win', you might like to purchase a copy of Recipes My Mother Cooked, Remember, you are helping The McGrath Foundation and their quest to support Breast Cancer. The Fishpond banner in my sidebar will take you direct to the online bookstore. Thank you all for your entries and thanks again for your friendship and support. Now, what's In My Kitchen - August In my kitchen in August were two rather delicious products available from the Capital Region Farmer's Markets, which are just five minutes down the road from home. Both of these items taste exquisite. The mini macarons are produced by mother and son team, Owen Saddler and Marilyn Chalkley of Dream Cuisine. Their Pistachio and Lime macaron won a silver medal in the 2012 Sydney Fine Food Show! This Eastern Fetta is just one from a range of award winning cheese produced by Mark and Lesley Williams of Small Cow Farm in Robertson, NSW. This is a delicate, spreadable fetta marinated in preserved lemon, juniper berries, garlic, rosemary and peppercorns. I am using it in roasted pumpkin, walnut and baby spinach salads. Yum! Also in my kitchen was an assortment of goodies from our recent trip to Darwin in the Northern Territory. The Saucey Sisters, jams, Camphor Laurel board and spices were great finds at the Parap Village Markets. I picked up the fishbone tweezers, vegetable slicer, sugar and cocoa from two wonderful specialty stores in the Parap Village shopping centre. Watch my Good Things pages in coming weeks for more details about those businesses. The honey is from a beekeeper who has a stall at the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets. In my kitchen is organic Koshihikari rice from Honest to Goodness. This is a Japanese-style short grain rice grown in Southern NSW by third generation rice growers. It has a lovely, nutty flavour and unusual texture, more like a grain than rice. I've been cooking it using the absorption method, with chicken stock and a clove of garlic! Finally, in my kitchen there was a boxful of Blood Oranges, a very kind gift sent to me by my friend, Len Mancini, citrus grower and co-owner of Redbelly Citrus. Redbelly Citrus has its roots set way back in Italy, when Vito Leonardo and Domenica Mancini along with Giuseppe and Lucia Barbagallo made the long journey to establish their new lives in Australia. With them, they brought their history long farming practices handed down from generation to generation. Redbelly Citrus continues the tradition with very fine produce! My gift of thanks to three lucky Good Things readers...Thanks again for sharing your wonderful kitchen stories!

Jennifer, thank you... and thanks also for your support and friendship! The red belly oranges are just gorgeous! 31/7/2012 12:41:30 am
I'm not eligible to win, but I wanted to drop in, say hello. Since blogging I have fallen in love with Australia because I've fallen in love with Australian bloggers. Never a country I previously thought about, now I'm so drawn due to the way bloggers have made Australia come alive for me. Really, it's the people I love. I'll be back to visit a lot.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:42:42 pm
Hello Angela, so good to welcome you. It would be excellent if you could visit Australia one day. I'm glad that Australian bloggers have sparked your interest. Your Italian background sounds wonderful. Nothing is as good as a home cooked meal! Thanks for stopping by and for your kind words. 31/7/2012 01:00:01 am
Congrats Lizzy, I had no idea you've only been at this a year! The 'Recipes My Mother Cooked' sounds lovely, what a great giveaway! The recipe that most comes to mind when I thing about my mom (still an 'o' not a 'u' heehee) is the amazing chocolate cake she made for every birthday I can remember. But I also got my style of 'throw it all in and work it out as you go' from her - no fear cooking - it's only dinner ;D
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:43:54 pm
Hi JJ. Thanks for your kind words, and thank you so much for your support and friendship! That's a great philosophy that you learned from your mom! I love it.

Oh how I wish I had cooked with my mother! She was a wonderful cook, I can still almost taste the incredible flavour of the sauces she made from the cheapest cuts of meat and the most basic of ingredients. Slow cooking at its best. No numbered additives in this food, it was pure and wholesome. Young people should listen and learn what the generations have to pass down to them. Once the traditions are lost it is nigh impossible to reconstruct them. The world would be a less satisfied place!
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:45:20 pm
Hi Lisa. Your mother sounds like a great cook... so fresh and down to earth! It is true about traditions being lost. I cooked with my mother, but not as much as I wish I had. 31/7/2012 01:31:38 am
Congratulations on your first birthday...from crawling to running in one year...amazing lol
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:47:10 pm
Hello Brian. Thank you for your kind words and for your support and friendship! Shelling peas was something I did with my mother too. Even the family budgie used to fly down and get involved! LOL. The scone recipe sounds delicious. Thanks for stopping by.
Wow, huge congrats on your 1st blog birthday! Such a great achievement.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:48:22 pm
Hi Emma, thank you for your kind words! It sounds as though your mum (and dad) were a great inspiration for you. Sweet potato and carrot pie, yummy! I'm so glad you are passing those traditions on to your family now.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 10:01:00 pm
And of course, being a chef, you are a beautiful cook. I am interested in your dietary intolerances. Love your work too, BTW.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:48:57 pm
Hello Moya, thank you for your kind words. LOL re your mum... clever lady by the sounds of things. ; ) 31/7/2012 09:55:31 am
Congratulations Lizzy on your fabulous milestone! My grandmother was Czech and cooked "curly bread" for me as a child. It was a plaited fruit bread that I ate for breakfast and after school. Smothered in her home made jam from her fruit trees in the yard I aspire to cook half as well as her. Congratulations again :)
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:50:25 pm
Hi Krystie! Thank you for your kind words. My maternal grandmother was part Czech too! Sadly, I didn't ever get to meet her. Your grandmother's curly bread and home made jam sounds delicious. Many thanks.
Happy Bloggy Birthday lovely lady!!!
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:51:27 pm
Thank you, Lisa! That's very kind of you. I'm delighted to hear that you dad did the cooking... I knew there would be dads out there that wore the apron, so to speak. And that to me is a good thing. I bet you won't grumble now. ;) 31/7/2012 11:21:37 am
Very happy Blogaversary Lizzy! I hope there are many more to come!
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:52:25 pm
Hello there Bec and thank you very much. How wonderful that you mother allowed you free range of the kitchen that way and what a long way you have come with it! Thank you so much for your support and friendship! ; D

31/7/2012 01:58:17 pm
Congratulations in your blog's first birthday. I didn't realize that your blog was so young when I found it which incidentally I thoroughly enjoy reading. I became an enthusiastic cook in spite of my parents. My mother is a very plain cook probably because of my father's delicate palate. No seafood, spices, cucumber, cauliflower, zucchini, mushrooms. I could go on and on.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:53:57 pm
Hello Hlenda... thanks ever so much! Oh dear. But looking on the bright side, at least your mum make the effort to cook. It would be so stifling to have to cook such bland meals. Thank you for stopping by and for your friendship and support.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 10:05:15 pm
Oops, typo, apologies. I meant Glenda!
Happy First Birthday, Lizzie! Just as that package says, no nasties ever in this blog. :)
Lizzy

Hello lovely Maureen! Thank you very much for your kind words. I love your work too! ; )
Hi Lizzy
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:56:45 pm
Hi Glenda... the vegetable slicer is great for grating! No pun intended. We watched the Thai ladies at various markets and food festivals grating green papaya for green papaya salad and that was the tool they used. You know, I never thought I would like green papaya salad, but I have to tell you, it's delicious. There's an authentic recipe listed on my home page. Strawberry chiffon pie... yummy! Your mother sounds amazing! 31/7/2012 02:47:19 pm
Big congrats to you Lizzy! Your blog is a constant source of inspiration and I look forward to reading it for many more years to come!!! I hope you have opened an expensive bottle to celebrate!!! x
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:57:35 pm
Thank you Mrs M! And thank you so much for your support and friendship! I find your work very inspiring and I look forward to meeting you some day... perhaps we can break bread together! xo 31/7/2012 02:54:26 pm
Happy first Birthday Lizzy! What a wonderful selection you have and such a lovely offer.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 08:58:40 pm
Hello Claire and thank you. Oh, cinnamon tea cake is so yummy... an oldie but definitely a goodie... sounds like your grandmother... 94.5, wow! I love that you have her loaf tin. Thanks again for your support and friendship! ; D 31/7/2012 04:08:03 pm
Congratulations Lizzy! I always look forward to your interesting, concise and inspiring blogs, may you keep writing and sharing your photos for many years to come!
Lizzy

Hello Lindell, thank you for your support and for your kind words. I'm glad that you have popped in to write something. Your parents sound like wonderful cooks, you must certainly miss them. The teaspoon of vegemite is a great idea. I've heard of that before. Thank you for sharing your story. And if you do set up a blog, please let me now.
Lizzy

Happy Bloggaversary Lizzie! here is to a wonderful year of amazing & insightful posts and delicious recipes. My entire family inspired me to cook but in particular my Mother. She is a self taught cook from the country who taught herself by subscribing to a mail order Cordon Blau course. She has kept these and passed them on to me! I love the stories that she tells especially the day her father made her cook brawn from a cow on their property. She still inspires me today and my favourite thing to do with her when I visit is to discover a new recipe or ingredient together.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:10:15 pm
Hi Anna, thank you for your very kind words. Wow, a mail order Cordon Bleu course, well done to you mum! LOL re the story about cooking brawn from a cow. I love that you cook together.
Happy 1 year bloggaversary Lizzy! I really thought you were a pro!!! You have accomplished so much in just one year! And I am so looking forward to reading more of your wonderful posts in the next years!
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:11:27 pm
Hello Manu, thank you for your very kind words! Isn't it wonderful that you have your grandmother's recipes! Sounds like you hail from an entire family of good cooks. Love your work too by the way. 31/7/2012 11:07:16 pm
Happy Birthday - I am super, super impressed that you've only had this blog for 1 year. So many readers and followers and so many new friends made of local heroes that we have all learned about.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:13:33 pm
Hi Fiona. Thanks so much for your very kind words, and also for your friendship and support. Wow, your mum sounds amazing and such an adventurous cook for the 70s. Ah, Sukiyaki. I have fond memories of being taught how to make it by my Asian Social Studies teacher in 6th class. Loved it then and now.
Lynette
31/7/2012 11:15:00 pm
Hi Lizzie - congratulations on your first anniversary. I am a fairly recent subscriber to your wonderful blog but I'm hooked. Your beautiful photographs, delicious recipes and inspiring insights make for a great read - with the bonus being that you are a fellow Canberran!
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:15:44 pm
Hello Lynette, welcome. Thanks so much for your very kind words. It is quite a task to get a meal on the table every night, isn't it. Especially if you are a working mum and have more than one child! So lovely that you appreciate it now. I love the ethos and that you are passing this down to your children. 31/7/2012 11:20:27 pm
Happy Birthday Lizzy!
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:18:27 pm
Hello there Ai-Lingm thank you for your very kind words. I am looking forward to trying my grater! Just waiting for the right dish. Thanks for visiting. Congratulations on 1 blogging year, Liz! And what a lovely memory to round out your first birthday. It's been a terrific pleasure getting to know you over the past few months and thanks for supporting my blog too! Here's to another successful year for BL's Good Things...and here's to many more lunches and glasses of vino shared! :)
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:19:21 pm
Hi Erin, thank you. And may I return the compliment. It's a delight to have met you and I, too, look forward to more lunches of glasses of vino. Cheers! 1/8/2012 01:54:58 am
Happy birthday to your one-year-old blog! You have put so much love and effort and it really shows.

Hello my friend! Thank you for those very kind words. You are such an inspiration and I look forward to continuing our friendship. 1/8/2012 09:47:37 am
Happy blog birthday! I never would have guessed you've only been at this a year - your posts are so thoughtful, you're a natural! Glad to discover you along the way, I'm always look forward to your recipes and photos :).
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:22:43 pm
Hello Laura, thank you... and thanks for your very kind words. I always love your sweet treats and your photos are just lovely!
I baked breads and cookies with my mother's help for a bake shop in town. My mother was a florist and ran our greenhouse business PLUS had seven children (me=#6) so she didn't have much time to teach me to cook. But when I started baking she came alongside and helped me make thousands of cookies and breads!
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:24:25 pm
Hello Heidi... lordy, seven children! How lovely that she came to help you bake for the store. It must have been lovely having a florist for a mother. Silly question, perhaps, but was your home always filled with flowers? Thank you for your friendship and support. I always love to visit your place.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:24:37 pm
Thanks Sara ; )
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:26:08 pm
Hi Tandy! Thanks so much. I am in awe of all you lovely people who were fortunate enough to cook with your grandmothers. Oh my, I wish I been able to do so. Perhaps in another lifetime. Sigh. Thanks for stopping by. I always look forward to visiting your kitchen ; )
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:26:34 pm
Thank you, Anne. The oranges are so delicious!
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:27:29 pm
Hello Pamela... wow, don't you use pumpkin as a vegetable? Really? I actually do like pumpkin pie and have a wonderful pumpkin strudel recipe on my index too, if you are interested. Thanks for visiting. 2/8/2012 12:40:30 am
happy birthday! I gave that book to my mother a year or two ago and loved it. She loves time in the kitchen and I spent many happy hours baking with her as a child, especially over the school holidays. In fact I can't remember a time when I wasn't helping with baking.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:28:52 pm
Hi Johanna, thank you for the best wishes. It's so lovely that you have those fond memories of cooking with your mother. Blood oranges are so yummy, aren't they! Thanks for your friendship and support.

Wow Lizzy! What a beautiful kitchen. I don't even know where to begin- The Eastern feta sounds amazing and those blood oranges are such a beautiful color, you almost don't want to eat them...almost :) The photo is beautiful as well. Congrats on turning 1! What a wonderful achievement.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:32:23 pm

Hi Amanda, LOL... we may have been separated at birth, you know. I look forward to meeting you. Thank you for your friendship and support. 9/8/2012 02:29:57 pm
hello and happy birthday. i am new to your website, and i'm new to blogging myself, so you're very inspiring (i just reached my three-month milestone, so i can understand the excitement of one year!).
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:34:38 pm
Hello there! Thank you for your kind words and congratulations on your blog as well. I love that while your mother apparently didn't allow you to cook alongside her, at least she did allow you to lick the bowls and spoons... such a yummy thing to do. Thanks for your support. 12/8/2012 02:05:07 pm
Hi Lizzy, congratulations on your bloggy birthday and what a lovely way to celebrate. The book sounds like a lovely celebration of family, I will have to keep an eye out. Thank you for your support and be careful with that vegie grater. :-)
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:35:15 pm
Hi Erin... thank you for your friendship and support. Oh, and for the waning about the grater, too. LOL. Hope your finger is all mended now!

When ever I was away from 'Home' or overseas my Grandmother (now departed) would write me letters about her menu's for friends and families. They would make me so Home Sick!!! She was generous to share her recipes (that special pastry for her Apple Pie....!) in her letters to me. I still have those letters and use them to create my own memories for my family and friends. We all remember her when cooking and eating the meals from those letters. Such a beautiful legacy :O)
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:36:30 pm
Hello Tameson. Such a lovely story you have shared here and I love that you have your grandmother's letters. I'm sure you treasure them. Perhaps one day you can make a blog or book about them? 16/8/2012 04:42:49 pm
A belated happy first birthday Liz. Your enthusiasm is so inspiring. Looking forward to reading many more posts about wonderful produce and beautiful home-cooked food.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:37:03 pm
Thank you my very dear friend. I love that we are on the journey of life as friends, together. A year only! But look at this stie! Full of love and food and important things to know about cooking and produce! Who inspired me to cook? My maternal grandmother. She did not cook great dishes, but she cooked well enough to feed her family of 8 children and a dozen (at the time I was growing up) grandchildren. Spending the school holidays at their place was always exciting. My first taste of brewed coffee was when I was 8 because she let us. She's strict like Mrs Hannigan (in Annie) but soft and sweet as a marshmallow at the same time. My first introduction to recycling was through her not Martha Stewart. And she makes a mean slow braised skipjack tuna in clay pot. I don't have the recipe but its one of the dishes that I want to write and post in the blog someday.
Lizzy
1/9/2012 09:38:41 pm
Hi Anna! Thank you for your kind words. I know you meant to type site, not stie. LOL.Your grandmother sounds positively amazing! Thank you for your friendship and support. Love your work too!

Dear Lizzy, very belated congrats on the milestone. I can't believe how quick the year has been. Love your work. One of my fondest memories is helping my Nan make scones. Luckily, I make them just like she did (almost) and my own family love them. I'll stop prattling now. Cheers
Lizzy
12/9/2012 09:33:15 am
Thank you, my dear friend. I love that you helped your nan to make scones and I feel a slight sense of envy that you did so, as I didn't ever get to meet any of my grandparents. So, when are you going to bake these wonderful scones for me? Comments are closed.
