Love, war, obsession, seduction, death. It pretty much covers the various events experienced in any opera, but throw in a bull fight, fireworks and a stage built in the middle of a harbour and all of a sudden a classic opera becomes an event not to be missed. Last Tuesday evening RJ and I had an opportunity to attend the Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour production of Carmen. Despite my living in Sydney for almost a decade and RJ growing up here, neither of us had ever been to an opera … [Read more...]
Seasonal Sunday Lunch launch!
I am so excited to officially share my newest project with you.

So without any further ado, you're invited to lunch! Seasonal Sunday Lunch is an international grass-roots movement that aims to raise awareness of seasonal produce and encourage mindful seasonal eating in the simplest, most enticing way: by gathering friends and family for a … [Read more...]
Sweet Adventures Blog Hop April: Seasonal Produce #SABH
Hey, guess what, I'm hosting Sweet Adventures Blog Hop again this month! Last month we were dancing in the penthouse with a 'Cocktail Party' theme and some fabulous Cocktail inspired desserts. This month I'm bringing it back down to earth with a 'Seasonal Produce' theme. I may be a bit influenced by my newest project, or maybe I'm simply distracted by all the wonderful Autumn produce showing up at the Farmers' Markets around Sydney, but I have seasonality on my mind constantly these … [Read more...]
Berry Filled Hot Cross Buns & an Easter Breakfast Braid
How does one make a batch of Hot Cross Bun even better? Stuff them with berry filling of course. Yes, it is a genius idea [if I do say so myself] but I can't take full responsibility for it... Let me back up a little bit first. A few months back I was over on Claire's site and she was sharing the exciting news that she had become a member of the Secret Recipe Club. It reminded me that I had applied for a spot at one point so I chased it up, and before I knew it I had a group! The way … [Read more...]
Spiced Quinoa Apple Crumble
I don't believe in feeling guilty about eating dessert. A slice of cake or scoop of ice cream or stack of cookies should bring a smile to your face not a grimace or bad feelings. However I understand that the guilt felt by many about overeating sweets is not aimed at the sheer pleasure of the act, but the ingredients contained within the treat - or the physiological result of the activity. Sugar highs and crashes, tummy troubles and far too many bad calories are forever associated with … [Read more...]

6 Natural Food-based Easter Egg Dyes
It's official, this whole need-to-create-things is hereditary. Not only the creativity gene bit but the comfort found in just making stuff. I was at mum's house for a few weeks during our last trip and one day she brought out a lovely, frilly, very colourful apron, "Look! I saw this and had to get it for you. Thought it may be a bit of inspiration... you could make these!" It was a cute apron, and it did give me a few new ideas, but in the midst of packing our already busting suitcases … [Read more...]
