Jamie's Bolognese (Lasagna-Ready) recipe
2 August 2026

Jamie's Bolognese (Lasagna-Ready)

This recipe came from my friend Jamie, who learned it from a head chef at Alberto's in Sydney. It connects two chapters of my life: learning to cook at boarding school when Dad insisted I master five dishes, and now cooking for my own family. It's a meat-forward ragù built on a long, slow cook—perfect for lasagna or spaghetti.

Sunday Roast Chicken

This became our Sunday ritual in the first winter after Pippa was born. Penny would help press the herbs under the skin — her small hands were perfect for it — while Pam fed Pippa on the couch nearby. The smell of it roasting still feels like that particular kind of Sunday quiet.

Made with love for Penny and Pippa.
