Food inspires me. I think about it all.the.time. perpetually jotting down ideas and notes for future recipes, testing flavours and combinations and techniques, making things up - mad scientist style - as I go along. Luckily RJ is a willing participant and occasional ring-leader, tasting my creations, discussing over breakfast what we will have or for lunch or dinner, detouring in foreign countries for specific dishes. All this leads us back [well for this post at least] to a dinner we had at … [Read more...]
Cinnamon Cauliflower Coffee Cake & Caramel Sauce
Since we got back from our adventure I have been on a much needed clean-eating kick. If you were following along at any point you know we were quite literally consuming everything in our path as we made our way around The America's for almost three months - and it wrapped-up for me with a gluttonous weekend at EDB2012. Back in my own kitchen I gravitated immediately to the quinoa, brown rice, kale and eggs. It's how I prefer to eat, honestly, and a bit of ingenuity makes for some pretty tasty … [Read more...]
Eat.Drink.Blog 2012: Notes from a travel-weary brain #EDB2012
Our flight from LA landed at Sydney airport around 7.30am. From there my day went something like this: Pick up luggage. Re-pack a carry on. Get in cab with RJ and our 8-piece luggage family. Get dropped off at Domestic Terminal because Jetstar is too cheap budget to do transfers from International. Swap US SIM for Aussie SIM. Wash face, brush teeth, re-apply makeup, change clothes. Board 10.30am flight for Adelaide to attend Eat.Drink.Blog 2012. Phew! I am a conference geek, I admit it, so … [Read more...]
Passports, check. And it begins, again.
In just a few hours we are off on a bit of an adventure... well that's if you call 11 weeks, 'a bit'. You see, RJ and I have itchy feet. For two people who didn't really start traveling until their early twenties - unless you count summers at the Jersey Shore or school holidays up at The Entrance as 'traveling' - we don't tend to stay still very well. It started almost as soon as we met. Three months in we booked around-the-world tickets - there were two weddings and a visa renewal to attend … [Read more...]
Cosmopolitan Cranberry Lime Cupcakes
I was a teenager in the 90's and embraced - as you do - all the trends that came along with that oddity of a decade. The first few years were an 80's hangover with side pony-tails, layered colour blocking, boxy crop tops and atrocious floral prints... you know, about what the runways and chain stores are flogging right now. I am currently refusing to shop anywhere that resembles the inside of my closet 20 or so years ago. Step away from the neon, step away. Then came grunge - the biggest … [Read more...]
Pawpaw, Papaya & Summer Inspired Rice Paper Rolls
I had never eaten a Rice Paper Roll before moving to Sydney, for that matter I had never eaten Pawpaw or Papaya before going to the Cook Islands. It's not that I grew up sheltered, it's just that I grew up in the suburbs of America-land in the 80's and 90's - Chinese Food and Pizza was about as international as our town got back then... One of the first places RJ ever took me to eat was a brilliant little Asian hole-in-the-wall in Marrickville called Old Thanh Huong. That original visit … [Read more...]
