Yep, it's time again for the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, and once again I'm back with something slightly outside the norm - shocker. The theme this month is 'Layer upon Layer' and I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do. At the beginning I had intended to make a dessert with lots and lots of layers like a baklava - or something else equally flaky and sticky - but I couldn't bring myself do it. You see, I'm a bit rich-fooded and sugared out right now. It started with March into … [Read more...]
Zucchini Fritters from Turkish Flavours
Happy St Paddy's Day, Internets! In honour of the day everyone becomes a little bit Irish - or if you live in most places along the eastern seaboard of America-land everyone becomes a lot bit Irish - I present to you a recipe from a Turkish cookbook. Wait, that doesn't sound quite right. I present to you brilliant green fritters that just so happen to come from a Turkish cookbook. That's a bit better. St Paddy's Day is a pretty important day to me - especially this year - but more on that … [Read more...]
Cookbook: Turkish Flavours
A smell that brings back a long forgotten friend, an image that makes you unconsciously smile, a song that transports you to another time and place. Experiences we have in life embed themselves in our memories, painting our future expectations in broad brushstrokes of those past experiences, grouping them into categories, filing them away under comfortable headings. RJ and I used to go quite frequently to a Turkish restaurant near our apartment in NYC. It was relatively posh, popular with the … [Read more...]
Taste of Sydney Part 2: More eating
If you've seen my exclusive Part 1: Best in Taste Award you may wonder how I could eat more a mere 18 hours later, but eat more I did. RJ and I headed out in the brilliant sunshine to ravish Taste of Sydney for the morning session on Saturday. I was the lucky winner of a competition for a double entry pass which covered the cost of admission so all we had to do was buy our 'Crowns' for food. $1 = 1 Crown for reference. The weather was so clear it literally looked white outside. Yes, this … [Read more...]
*Exclusive* Taste of Sydney Part 1: Best in Taste Award
Last Thursday evening was to be the launch of Taste of Sydney 2012 - Australia's definitive pop-up restaurant festival. However, on Thursday in Sydney the weather was not particularly good, it rained. That is probably one of the biggest understatements I've ever made on this blog, let me try again. From Wednesday evening in Sydney the weather was atrocious. Tropical depression, monsoon-esque, atrocious. It started with thunderstorms which overnight turned to torrential downpours and driving … [Read more...]

Biota Dining – Bowral
A few weeks back RJ and I decided we needed a break. A break from household chores and regular haunts and general weekend inertia. For Christmas he had gotten me a weekend away in Bowral and late February was a perfect opportunity to cash it in before the Southern Highlands moved firmly into colder weather. Before we went I of course asked Twitter about recommendations for food - brunch to be exact - Laura recommended Biota Dining. In looking at the website I couldn't see a brunch listing … [Read more...]
