If there were more hours in the day what would you like to do? Of course there are the obvious answers -- spend more time with family, cure hunger, create world peace (I'm so Miss Universe material) -- but those aside what would hobby would you take up? What skill would you learn just for yourself? It should come as no surprise that I'm an extremely visual person and, although food is my first love, I have a secret, burning passion for design. I would love to be able to take a room and … [Read more...]
A peek at something I’ve been working on…
It's no secret things have been a bit quiet around here lately and if you follow 84th on various social media you would have seen little snippets of an enormous project I was working on from the end of July until just a few days ago. I mentioned that I'd edited, photographed and published a mini-cookbook for Jackie M back in June and July, but in the midst of wrapping that project we were already knee deep in the next one -- a digital magazine! What started as project management … [Read more...]
Bloom. The Healthy Food Co – Mosman, Sydney
The Mosman cafe scene has exploded over the past few months, and it's about time. The local options simply weren't up to scratch - other than one regular haunt for (fabulous) corn fritters - and as a result we were always heading over the bridge for brunch. So you can imagine my delight when, during a morning walk earlier this week, RJ looked up just in time to spot the newly opened Bloom cafe by The Healthy Food Co. We paused just long enough to scan the menu, finding no less than 10 … [Read more...]
Booth St Bistro – Annandale, Sydney
We all have them sitting somewhere in the draft folder - or perhaps just floating around our heads - the favourite little cafe, the go-to easy dinner recipe, the brilliant new cookbook or appliance or spice mix. The things that we should share but somehow always push aside to do some other day. Enter Booth St Bistro in Annandale, a regular on our weekend brunch rotation. I take photos every time we go with the intention to share it here, yet for some reason it always gets pushed to the … [Read more...]
Something for Jess – Chippendale, Sydney
You'd be forgiven for thinking that Something for Jess has been a fixture in Chippendale for much longer than the few months it's been open. The casual vibe, attentive service and creative flavour combinations tick along effortlessly - inviting you to stay and have a relaxed meal or feel free to rush off, take-away sandwich and coffee in hand, as the ancient cash register tallies up your total. The salvaged furniture, chalkboard menus and mismatched crockery scream hipster, but are in … [Read more...]

Vegetarian Black Bean Chili
I've been part of the Secret Recipe Club for a couple months now and one thing I'm really enjoying, aside from discovering new blogs, is actually making the things I find instead of simply filing them away for later. What a novel concept. I get inspiration for recipes everywhere I look, and I'm constantly pinning things to make one day, but SRC has meant that at least once a month I make a new dish from a new blog. This month I was assigned to Fried Ice and Donut Holes. A passionate … [Read more...]
