For a lot of people, the best thing about work is the lunch hour. And you can tell a lot by how someone spends it – whether they’re eating heated-up leftovers “al desko”, mentally finetuning the perfect sandwich combination to order at the local cafe, or really splashing out and going beyond their allocated $8 […]
Last night, I went to my cousin’s wedding. I was impressed that her handmade invite (see above) matched the actual wedding cake! Made of layers of sweet little parcels, the wedding cake replicated all the exquisite invite details – down to the twine and cinnamon sticks. Alas the iced flower on my slice got lopped […]
These are just a few things that were created and sent Santa-ward. Up top are some marbled chocolates that I made by melting lots of chocolates down and then setting them in moulds and causing a hell of a mess in the kitchen. This jar of goodness was given to me by Tash, a super-foodie […]
Otto is one of those places that seems to appear just as much in gossip columns as it does in restaurant reviews. It’s a celebrity honeypot – snaring famous faces from all up and down the A-Z list.

Spotted during Christmas shopping crowd-avoiding today at David Jones Food Hall.
You know how you can infer from just one look whether you’re going to be good friends with someone you’ve just met? I had a similar feeling from my first menu-glance at Two Good Eggs. The name alone trumpets that breakfast is its game, and one that it aces like a star athlete. It covers […]

My super-talented friend Jeff has custom-fitted and rolled out quite a few, including the I Made This app, which is a cute and inspiring programme which lets you share what you’ve made with other people – whether it’s meals or zines or music. […]
This lives up to the phrase “window-licker”. I never would have noticed this if these girls passing by hadn’t loudly gasped about it and I’m glad they did. We were walking to the Verona to catch Hunting And Gathering (Ensemble, C’est Tout) – and to kill two foodie observationss with one stone – my favourite […]
We were involved in a eat-and-run incident last week at A Tavola. We had less than an hour to zip in, eat up and dash off to see Tiger Country, a play at The Stables Theatre which Will had taken some cast photos of. And of course I had to be greedy and complicate things […]
It’s not a coincidence that the Cones Au Chocolats above look slightly like devil’s horns. The Lenotre High Tea is sin on a multi-tiered stand. It’s hilarious that high teas are meant to be dainty, lady-like affairs given that they really are just a classy way to be a pig. And how great is it […]
