Crave is a month long food festival in Sydney with literally hundred of events and participating restaurants and, well, food. This year we haven't taken nearly enough advantage of it - although I did do a fair amount of drooling over the Tweets and pictures of other food bloggers at the launch parties and the World Chef Showcase. We did however manage to make it to the Sydney Growers Market in Pyrmont one morning, and stop into Bitton on a Saturday afternoon for brunch to enjoy ... a … [Read more...]

Quinoa Tortillas
You know when you try something out expecting one result and what you get is so much better? Yeah, these are that. I noticed recently that Bob's Red Mill has started ranging in Australia - I was excited to say the least. FYI - they have nothing to do with this post, I just really like their stuff ... that said, if they sent me a hamper, I wouldn't say no, what I would do is giggle like a kid at Christmas. I get excited about baking supplies, it doesn't take much. Anyway, while I already have my … [Read more...]
No-Knead Bread
Don't make this bread. I only say this because I am looking out for you, it is so good I can't stop. I have made it every weekend for the past three weeks - all in the name of testing of course ... Here's the thing, it is a total double edged sword, you are only actively 'making the bread' for about 15-20 minutes ... but it takes a day and a half or so of patience waiting around for it to do it's thing. This is not a 'quick bread' but it is quite possibly the least labour intensive one I've … [Read more...]
Banana Bread French Toast
Yep, this is the second French Toast post in as many months. But the first one was savory, so it had to be balanced out, right? I may have a problem. On a list of problems to have, I'm ok with this one. The colour issues on this photo, not so ok with them - harsh light aside, can anyone tell me how to shoot berries and not have them black?? Anyway, imagine them a lovely dark purple. I have to admit that this has been sitting in a folder for a while in anticipation of sharing Banana Bread … [Read more...]
Best Wholewheat Bread
So somewhere in the middle of my veggie kick I finally gave into temptation and found some time to bake this bread…and then I almost passed out. This stuff smells so good. The first time I made it I really just wanted fresh bread for dinner. We were out of our usual [organic, no chemicals, no soy, sourdough] loaf which is nice but still just grocery story sandwich bread, I was a bit over wraps and we're trying to avoid loose rolls from the supermarket. Not to mention that once you're … [Read more...]
French Toast-ed Grilled Cheese
It's French Toast on the outside and Grilled Cheese on the inside, kind of like the old Wheel of Fortune before and after puzzles...but even better, instead of some random living room suite, the prize is tasty and delicious, and not covered in brown corduroy. The trick to good Grilled Cheese, and French Toast for that matter, is heat control. Even if [especially if?] it is 2am and you are just getting home and desperate for savoury gooey-ness. You just cannot rush even browning and … [Read more...]
Maybe next time Cornbread
We were at a cafe recently that had on the menu Cornbread Toast with Bananas and Syrup. I didn't get it [the poached eggs were calling my name much louder that day] but of course came home and decided I NEEDED to make a yeasted Cornbread loaf. I love regular cornbread, but I find that if made correctly it tends to manifest itself as crumbly moist chunks rather than a hardy crumb that can stand up to slicing from a loaf and even holding a sandwich. Because I can't just go the simple route I … [Read more...]
