Can someone please tell me how on earth we ended up a week into May, remind me what day it is, hire a cleaning lady and get me a cup of tea? I've been racing like a maniac to finish the artwork for the MCA Zine Fair so things may stay a bit quiet around these parts for a little while but we all still need to eat. A while back I shared a pic of the goodie bag from an event I attended. Creating this recipe not only gave me an opportunity to use the saltbush leaves but I finally worked … [Read more...]
High Tea at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel
Afternoon Tea has evolved in modern times. A tradition started by the British to bridge the gap between lunch and a late dinner, it is now more synonymous with a special outing or occasion than an every day indulgence. Afternoon Tea is labeled as High Tea in many instances, a moniker that purists stamp their feet at due to, from what I can gather, the nature of the seating arrangement more than anything else. In the simplest of terms however there is tea, there are sandwiches, there … [Read more...]
Williams-Sonoma, West Elm, Pottery Barn & Pottery Barn Kids now open in Sydney!
The entry way of each store beckons you from the footpath, only to stop you in your tracks with stunning displays just inside the door. The ceiling-high shelves and multi-layered vignettes pull you from side to side, deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole of design and colour and light. This past Wednesday, I had the opportunity to tour the Williams-Sonoma, West Elm, Pottery Barn & Pottery Barn Kids stores in Bondi Junction before they officially opened to the public. I have been waiting … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Spice Cake for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea
The first rule of gatherings is 'always promise food', even better if you are promising cake. You know it's true - book clubs, catch-ups, training sessions and even dreaded Friday afternoon meetings are made better with the anticipation of treats. However once your audience is there what do you do with them? The casual catch up is an easy one, get out the food early, brew the tea and simply kick-back with friends, but when there is a agenda things need to be approached a bit … [Read more...]
Tea Time Tuesday #1 – Green Jasmine
While sorting out my tea cupboard the other day I shared this picture on Instagram, the rediculous thing is that it doesn't even include every box of tea I own. Most varieties are on a regular rotation however so I figured why not share them here with you! Welcome to the first installment of 'Tea Time Tuesday'. First up is my go-to cuppa, Green Jasmine. This version is a loose-leaf blend from a local Sydney company - The Rabbit Hole Organic Tea Bar - and is gentle and … [Read more...]
Gluten Free Cheezy Rosemary & Black Pepper Crackers
I just thought it would be best to warn you up front, these are spectacular. Crunchy, salty, cheesy, savoury, addictive. I'm one of those people who is usually quite satisfied with a small handful of chips or a single spoonful of ice cream or one slice of cake but with these crackers all bets are off. I'm not even kidding. It's the last Monday of the month and therefore time once again for a Secret Recipe Club post. This month I was assigned the lovely blog Fearless Homemaker, and talk about … [Read more...]
