I remember seeing the trailers for Downton Abbey Season 1 and thinking I would watch it simply for the costumes. I missed the first few episodes though, and with not enough desire to find the shows and catch up, I never really got into it. But I heard the buzz - people were obsessed. Then in the middle of last year I was invited to a fancy-schmancy Afternoon Tea at the Sir Stamford to celebrate the Downton Abbey Season 2 DVD launch. While I was not familiar with the intricacies of the … [Read more...]
Plum & Ginger Sauce, How to Dry Thyme, and a bit about food waste…
Here's the deal... I'm going to take 30% [or maybe even 50%] of all the food produced and throw it straight in the bin - probably before it even gets to a store. Of the food that makes it to the grocery store I'll get rid of 20% [maybe even 40%] before you can see it. Then once you're home with your purchases and sitting down to enjoy that meal you just made, I'm going to take 20% of what is on your plate - as that's going in the bin too. Ok? What? That's not acceptable? Why not? It's … [Read more...]
Crab Scrambled Eggs
It is no secret how much I adore brunch. And as there is no better way to start a new day than with a slightly indulgent plate of eggs, it stands to reason there is no better way to start a new year than in the same manner! I stumbled across the Alaskan Crab Co at an industry trade-show-style event a few months back - tasted the crab, tasted the caviar, picked up a card - and promptly forgot all about it. Then the other day, during a post Christmas shopping fit, RJ and I were making our way … [Read more...]
2013 Sydney Food Trend Predictions
The world is getting smaller and smaller. News shoots around the globe at an alarming pace, international travel is a regular occurrence and the internet facilitates a continual online cultural crossover on everything from fashion to music to medicine. So why is it that food trends seem to take an enormous amount of time to reach Australia? Are we playing catchup, is everyone waiting to see how it goes elsewhere, or are we all simply too busy eating seafood on the harbour? The end of year … [Read more...]
Restaurant Atelier – Glebe, Sydney
Set back from the hustle and bustle of Glebe Point Road, protected just enough by a veranda and front garden to be private, you'll find a wide-frontage house slightly at odds with the surrounding late century commercial properties. The exterior - quaint and unassuming, and the interior - cozy and comfortable, give nothing away to the passerby regarding the food or the chef contained within. Until you sit down, and the dishes begin to march out of the kitchen, you have no idea about the … [Read more...]
Good Food & Wine 2012 – Sydney
Just in time for the Adelaide Good Food & Wine Show I'm getting around to my [stunningly Instagramed] Sydney wrap up, how very convenient! It's no secret I love a good food event, so I was chuffed when I was contacted by Chobani asking if I would like tickets to the 2012 Sydney Good Food & Wine Show. Having never attended, I was eager to go this year and as such had already entered into a Facebook contest for a double pass from Australian Good Taste Magazine – but really who ever wins … [Read more...]
