I remember once being served Okonomiyaki by a waitress named ‘Sushi Susan’ – the Japanese pancake came accompanied by a small ‘pirate ship’ full of food. Around the table, we sliced up and shared the portions as a giant papier-mache squid hung above, like a marine chandelier. Even if this hadn’t taken place in an […]
There are always weekends spent moping around the house, wondering how your epic hunger coincides with a Mother Hubbard state of cupboard affairs. And then there are the ones where everything lines up extremely nicely. Blake and Lex had given me a jar of their home-made tomato relish the week before and I had some […]
I know I blogged about Black Star Pastry last year but I was recently re-reminded of how great it is. The macro-sized patisserie has sort of provided the menu to my week – or a kind of diary spelt in sugar, ganache, elderflower and rosewater. It started last Saturday with a Zucchini and Pumpkin Muffin […]
Not The Last Supper: the Save FBI cookbook zine is done and ready for you to download! If you’re printing it out, you can download a high-quality cover for it too. It was beautifully designed by Grace Lee. It was quickly put together in a week and features some very great recipes (Sweetie’s Delicious Dumplings, […]
Sometimes it is really hard to tackle big serious topics without people zoning out and falling victim to a sudden epidemic of watch-checking. So I was really inspired by my friend Ebony’s approach to World Environment Day last week. You can read up on some of her many great deeds at her Hello Sandwich blog. […]
Sometimes you like a cafe from the very first millisecond. And then – several cleared plates, sipped-clean glasses and much cafe-lingering later – your initial instinct is proved right. So here it is, Clipper Cafe in Glebe, my latest big cafe crush. OK, so I didn’t quite stumble into this cute little terrace eatery by […]
All good blogging intentions got slightly derailed when I discovered I’d won the open call-out for Three Minute Sydney. So, ack, sorry, more blog delays (even the trains are more reliable than me right now!). I’ve been busy re-reading what I’m going to say and trying to slim down my chances of looking like a […]
I know I’ve been a bit of a blog truant, wagging blog posts & missing upload roll call – it’s all because I’m in the middle of finishing zines and fundraising CDRs to sell at the MCA Zine Fair, on this Sunday. I’ll also be selling the awesome food-related art and craft of Grace Lee. […]
With every free second devoted to finishing my zine for next Sunday’s MCA Zine Fair, the food blog is a little cupboard-bare at the moment, I admit. I’m still scurrying around trying to complete the zine, but in the meantime, I thought I’d direct your eye to some cool food-related things my super-creative friends have […]
Amy’s Pretty Pretty Yum Yum covers the highlighter-bright spectrum of food and fashion in Japan and is definitely one of my favourite blogs. Whether it features the delightfully weird (like Salty Chocolate Crunch or all-mayo restaurants) or just monumentally cute (smiley face ice cream, turtle-shaped bread), Pretty Pretty Yum Yum always manages to add a […]
