Crave Sydney

October 30, 2011 By JJ 3 Comments

Crave is a month long food festival in Sydney with literally hundred of events and participating restaurants and, well, food. This year we haven’t taken nearly enough advantage of it – although I did do a fair amount of drooling over the Tweets and pictures of other food bloggers at the launch parties and the World Chef Showcase.

We did however manage to make it to the Sydney Growers Market in Pyrmont one morning, and stop into Bitton on a Saturday afternoon for brunch to enjoy …

Brunch at Bitton

a beautiful omelet with roasted pumpkin and goat’s cheese [um and about 3 sticks of butter, no comment], sourdough, salad, and spicy tomato sauce; french crepes with berry jam …

and a complimentary Bitton Gourmet product [haven’t tried it yet, will let you know how it goes, but sounds delicious!]

Then this morning I saw on the Twitter that the Sydney Food and Wine Fair was on in Hyde Park, and since we haven’t been spending our Saturdays in the bowels of hell lately [translation: taking a break from house hunting – it hasn’t stopped because we have found anything but because we have all but given up, last time this happened we moved to NY … ] we didn’t have any plans and headed over the bridge.

Sydney Food & Wine Fair

The fair is an initiative by The AIDS Trust of Australia and it’s is in its 21st year.  The vendors there pretty much donate the food and time and labour for the fund raiser, and goodness is there some good food.

We traded our tickets for BBQ Ocean Trout with Peas, Quinoa and Horseradish Creme Fraiche from Cafe Sydney …

Cafe Sydney - Trout

Vahlrona Chocolate and Date Tart with Rose Petal Syrup from Catalina …

Catalina - Chocolate Torte

and Pane Casereccio – Italian bread filled with roasted vegetables, olives and basil pesto from Brasserie Bread

Brasserie Bread - Pane Casereccio

Yes, we were balancing shared paper plates on our laps while sitting on a park bench, but for that few moments … died and gone to heaven is an understatement – The bread, including the huge chunk we still have sitting on the benchtop currently, was morrish; the rose petal syrup was divine [like want to put it on everything divine]; the chocolate incredibly decadent; and the trout, well, it was perfect.

And so I’ll leave you with a quick peek at the QVB High Tea stand and the first blooms of the Jacaranda – only around for a few weeks in October and November when it turns Sydney purple from head to toe.

Hungry yet?

FYI, have decided I may finally need to upgrade from an IPhone3 [maybe it’s a 3S, who knows] simply for a better camera – yikes!

Yeah, not a guest of anyone, remotely compensated or asked to visit any of the events or stands mentioned, but next year … hey Crave – pick me, pick me! *waves*

    Saw my first jacaranda this week – feels late to me somehow?

That’s it. That’s the post.
Apparently today is National Strawberry Day, it’ Apparently today is National Strawberry Day, it’s overcast and raining in LA (so a plate of sunshine is absolutely necessary), and if you’ve been here for more than a hot second you know how I feel about toast.
🍞🍓🥒🌱
Toasted sourdough, goat chèvre (or vegan cream cheese), sliced strawberries, cucumber ribbons, fresh mint, olive oil, black pepper, just a pinch of salt. Go forth and feast.

I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption and everything. And I intended to post it that day as a reflection moving into a new year. But instead, mom and I went out for pizza and wine, and then it was Jan 2, and so on and so on. 
🌀
So instead you’re getting it on Feb 1. A new day and another new month (but what is a new month or a new year, other than a societal convention really). 
☀️
Because, each day, each sunrise, we have the opportunity to start anew - no matter how big or little that start may be. A chance to take another step forward - no matter how many steps back you feel you’re fighting against. 
🌀
Whether this past year brought blinding joy or paralysing grief (and in whatever measure of balance or imbalance), I hope each new day sees the landscape of your life look one step closer to what you imagine it to be. And that when the waves roll in and change that landscape, you can roll with it and see the beauty and possibility on the other side.
🌊
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations, have a cookie 🍪 And I’ll leave you with the rolling waves and blue sky of a California beach in January. I truly hope this year sees us all grow stronger and move forward with each new day. Going backwards is simply not an option.

…
When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did. 
💥
Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
Flowers for your Friday, that is all.

Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy o Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy of my go-to Half-Spelt, Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough recipe 🍕 (the one I’ve been teasing for years), AND a new voiceover by little Ms Marmalade herself 👧🏼.
☀️ I mean, I’m not saying the sound on this video will brighten up your day by an infinite amount, but I’m not, not, saying that either ✨. 
—-
The full recipe with all the info is over on my site (⛓ in profile and all that jazz), along with a longer version of the video. Because a 5yo singing - SINGING - about rolling dough into balls is ah-mazing. 
—-
Ingredients, for those wondering:
* whole spelt flour
* white 00 pizza flour
* water
* sourdough starter discard
* active dry yeast
* kosher salt
* millet flour (for shaping)
⏲ All the times and weights are in that aforementioned post - plus opts to bake right away vs letting it all ferment for a day or two... There’s also a list of equipment I use, and my personal flour and pizza oven faves. Now go have a pizza party! 🍕🎉
Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means it’s about time I (finally) shared this 🍗 🍇🍊 image from a test shoot collab well over a year ago 🙈. I actually made these Cornish Hens for Christmas last year too and they’ll be on the menu again this year. It’s a perfect holiday feast solution for a small group with only a few meat eaters, but also if you simply can’t be bothered to tackle a turkey!

There seems to be a common thread this year of people asking in stories if it’s ok to start decorating for 🎄 already - my answer, every time, is ‘the world is on fire, time has no meaning, go for your life’. Am I wrong? (I’m not, haha) I may even put up a tree here more than 3 days before (I do keep it up until Easter though, so who knows 😜). Are you getting festive already or do you have hard and fast rules about these things?
