If you've stopped by in the hopes of finding the standard Easter spring flowers and bunny rabbits and church bonnets and pretty, pretty candy covered chocolate eggs - you're at the wrong place. If you've been here before you won't be surprised that there's not a pastel argyle jumper in sight. But Easter is just a few days away so it's only logical that I share an Easter recipe. Now I could claim that I'm being all 'lets plan ahead like a proper food blogger and make something for a holiday … [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.

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.

The weather was so clear it literally looked white outside. Yes, this … [Read more...]

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...]
March into Merivale Launch Party
Last Thursday after work I made my way down into the city to catch up with a few lovely ladies I met at a Sydney Food Blogger picnic back in January. Social company aside, the March into Merivale Launch Party, which saw 13 food stalls and 4 bars take over the ballroom of The Ivy and the whole of Ash Street, was promising enough to warrant a migration over the bridge on a 'school night'. Even the weather was behaving for an evening of milling about, and the polished pretties of Sydney … [Read more...]
