On Saturday, I caught the tail-end of Good Food Month . I’d missed all the sugar-dusted, napkin-crumpling, spoon-sucking fun of October, thanks to bad luck really: I got stuck in a work-coma (which left me a social vegetable), and then I got slugged with a bad cold, only allowed pots of soup and tissues for […]
I just had my second radio segment on Weekend Lunch, the FBI radio show presented by the amazing Anna Burns. If I haven’t updated with relevant details for the segment, it means I’m still at the Sydney Food & Wine Fair, which is on right now.
Sometimes the best part of a weekend is just sitting in that full-glow evening light, eating dinner like you still have hours to laze around. All that brightness is kind of like a late-version of the snooze alarm – you’re let off the hook for now, ‘cos the sun’s still out and it’s only Saturday. […]
OK, in the book of food blog sins, I have to admit to having never been to the Lindt Chocolate Cafe in Sydney. (It’s on my list, really!) But I haven’t been so slowcoach when it comes to its new rival joint – tonight, I was given a hand-me-down invite (the only kind I receive!) […]
There was a point where you couldn’t go to Cafe Giulia in Surry Hills without bumping into five other people you knew. It was like the Peach Pit. All this social colliding made sense – Giulia was a good breakfast-meet-up-magnet and slurping away on their brightly-coloured fruit frappes was a fine way to revitalise your […]
You know you’re super-lucky when you have friends who will make breakfast for you. And not just some cereal-dunked-in-milk affair but a grand buffet with hand-squeezed orange juice and beans simmered for 12 hours and egg orders being sent via SMS (fried, poached or scrambled?). There were enough sides to make your ceramic plate quiver. […]
So I haven’t been doing the Burger Dance (like these Lego dudes hopped up on patties-and-buns obviously are) but today I kick-started a food segment on Weekend Lunch, the FBI radio show presented by the amazing Anna Burns. Today we had our first go (or “first course”) and it was a lot of fun. Running […]
If I had a cameo in a fairytale, I wouldn’t be suckered into near-incineration by a gingerbread house, but I would definitely be tempted by something in the size and shape of the Orange Grove Organic Markets in Rozelle. I like the fact that you can buy killer bread there – slicing through the fruit […]
Yesterday, I went to a lovely wedding – the kind that makes your heart buzz and dart like a dragonfly. There were hugs aplenty, dancing and a lot of emotional sniffling (damn witty and beautiful speeches!) And of course, there was wedding cake. This one was made by the amazing Tabitha: 11 cakes baked over […]
Eating birthday cake is nice, but having four-course dessert ($35) is taking it to the next candle-blowing level. With Bentley restaurant in Surry Hills offering a quadruple-scoop of such sweets on their menu, that’s how we ended up celebrating Will’s birthday. First, we got the support-act savoury dishes out of the way – nibbling small […]
