The Mosman cafe scene has exploded over the past few months, and it's about time. The local options simply weren't up to scratch - other than one regular haunt for (fabulous) corn fritters - and as a result we were always heading over the bridge for brunch. So you can imagine my delight when, during a morning walk earlier this week, RJ looked up just in time to spot the newly opened Bloom cafe by The Healthy Food Co. We paused just long enough to scan the menu, finding no less than 10 … [Read more...]
Booth St Bistro – Annandale, Sydney
We all have them sitting somewhere in the draft folder - or perhaps just floating around our heads - the favourite little cafe, the go-to easy dinner recipe, the brilliant new cookbook or appliance or spice mix. The things that we should share but somehow always push aside to do some other day. Enter Booth St Bistro in Annandale, a regular on our weekend brunch rotation. I take photos every time we go with the intention to share it here, yet for some reason it always gets pushed to the … [Read more...]
Almond Croissants – the makeover edition
I once read in a book that there is no such thing as a coincidence. The story went that when something or someone repeatedly crossed your path there was a cosmic reason behind it. The author continued on to explain that you should not just dismiss these occurrences as coincidence, but actively pursue them to determine how it could change the path of your life. Of course the people in this book, if I remember correctly, could also see energy and eventually crossed into another astral … [Read more...]
Something for Jess – Chippendale, Sydney
You'd be forgiven for thinking that Something for Jess has been a fixture in Chippendale for much longer than the few months it's been open. The casual vibe, attentive service and creative flavour combinations tick along effortlessly - inviting you to stay and have a relaxed meal or feel free to rush off, take-away sandwich and coffee in hand, as the ancient cash register tallies up your total. The salvaged furniture, chalkboard menus and mismatched crockery scream hipster, but are in … [Read more...]
Quinoa Fried Rice
A twist on a classic, a fridge surprise, leftover magic... Call it what you will this creation is one of my favourite ways to use quinoa. Truth be told it's one of my favourite ways to use pretty much anything. Clearing out the crisper has been quite a trend round these parts lately and it's bound to continue. The good thing about re-inventing leftovers is that they cease to be tired and simply become an entirely new meal. How terribly convenient. Tell me, what is your top tip to … [Read more...]
White Winter Soup
The good news is I don't have pleurisy. While the thought lives just fine on it's own as a daily positive affirmation statement it may be best if explain a bit further... First some background, I am not a fan of doctors [sorry doctors], hospitals freak me out and I am not one prone to hypochondria. The last time I was in a hospital was 11-ish years ago and in general I am one of those people who will soak gushing kitchen injuries in salt water and bandage with a tight band-aid before ever … [Read more...]
Spiced Pear, Red Wine & Chocolate Cake
I'm sorry, it was entirely unfair for me to wait this long to post this cake. Entirely. It was baked and devoured back in April as part of a Seasonal Sunday Lunch feast and somehow is only now seeing the light of day. Remember this Drunken Chocolate Caramel Tart madness? This is that, but re-born into dark, rich cake. With spiced red wine poached pears. And a sticky red wine sauce. And as I just got back from a girls weekend in the Hunter Valley a red wine infused dessert is so … [Read more...]
