Another one from the archives, a salad made and shot last September -- after Cape Cod and before our road trip -- at mom's farm. Two weeks amongst row of pears dropping fruit at our feet and grapes staining our fingers purple. Sometimes the words flow and sometimes they don't. Right now they aren't, so instead just some pictures to hopefully brighten your day -- and possibly your dinner. Pictures of medusa-esque pear trees so heavy with fruit they don't know what to do with … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: March 2014
I managed to only miss one month this time in linking up with Celia for an In My Kitchen post, yet it still seems to be a big one. Here it goes… Kitchen shenanigans A few years back I stopped buying tomatoes in tins. Tins are lined with BPA (bad chemical, google it if you want to know more) and the acid in tomatoes leaches it out worse than most foods. However no tins meant my cooking was limited to smooth sauce rather than lovely, textural crushed tomatoes (yeah, yeah, first world problems … [Read more...]
Alpha Restaurant – Sydney CBD
It would be naive to assume that a culture defined by enormous stone temples, wildly animated speech patterns and an ancient tribe of all-powerful gods would do anything by halves. Enter Alpha, the inner-city restaurant launched last year by the Hellenic Club. Mere steps into the Victorian-era building in the centre of Sydney's CBD and you know you're in for a treat. The cavernous space has been transformed into a warm and inviting venue -- quite a feat for a room seemingly the size of a … [Read more...]
Smokey Beer & Onion BBQ Sauce
Another one from the archives, this sauce was made and photographed as part of that Texas-inspired BBQ Brisket feast back in December. ------ BBQ Sauce makes everything better, simple as that. Eggs? Better with sauce. Tacos? Better with sauce. Burgers? Better with sauce. But most importantly, smoked brisket is most certainly better with a side of rich and fragrant BBQ Sauce for dipping and drizzling. This version is a bit thinner than your more traditional BBQ Sauce, more suited to … [Read more...]
SABH March 2014: Luck o’the Irish – Plus 11 St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Ideas
I have a soft spot for St Patrick's Day -- it did after all serve as the backdrop for meeting RJ twelve years ago and pretty instantly changed any hazy plans I had for the future -- so when it came to picking a theme for this month's Sweet Adventures Blog Hop a celebration of all things green/rainbow/gold/potato/whiskey/stout/oatmeal was an obvious choice. Anything's game so long as it's Irish or inspired by St Patrick's Day festivities and the details about the hop are below -- but to … [Read more...]
Marinated Goat Cheese
No rants or long stories today, just an "I could totally make this myself" recipe inspired by a stunning jar of marinated goat cheese. The cheese, along with copious cups of tea and a plate of fruit and veggies, eased the pain of a Sunday afternoon brainstorming session one weekend a couple months back. A few weeks later -- when the meeting location moved to my living room for a photo shoot -- I figured it was only fitting I work out a way to replicate the tangy, herb-infused … [Read more...]
Sweet Potato Stout Quick Bread
If this is your first time here you may be better served heading over to look at popsicles or brownies and coming back another day... It's been an, interesting, few weeks on a few different fronts and I'm feeling a bit ranty. Still around? Well you've been warned, and as always there is cake at the end so make yourself a cup of tea and take cover. It's not just that I'm ranty, I'm relatively pissed off and generally annoyed -- at people who blame others for their mistakes or don't take … [Read more...]
