When I met RJ he used to eat at least 4 slices of white bread a day. Not necessarily as part of a meal mind you, but just because. Toast for breakfast, toast before dinner [no matter what or when dinner was], bread with dinner. Sliced, white, from a plastic bag, every time. It appalled me just a bit - as did putting ketchup/tomato sauce on beef stew but we'll save that one for later... *waves at RJ* hi mate, yes, I'm talking about you again - haha. I was not allowed white bread growing up. … [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...]
Fluffy Blueberry & Spelt Vegan Pancakes
No matter how beautiful the view, it is always difficult living somewhere that is at least a 24hr trip away from family and friends. But it is always a bit more, obvious, when there's happy news, difficult times, special occasions and holidays which would otherwise be spent with those who are far away. Now on this weekend in many cities around the globe there are fun runs for Mother's Day. Sydney has the MDC each year and RJ and I have done it off and on over time, but growing up my family … [Read more...]
Eat Immediately Apple Bircher Muesli
I might be a little bit obsessed with apples. As much as I love summer fruit - peaches and mangos and plums oh my - I do mourn the brief break in the apple season. Yes, of course you can get them year round in the big chain grocery stores but when stone fruit is ripe for the picking the apple trees are just starting to bloom again... draw your own conclusions... Apple season just launched again here and this will be the first full season Australian growers are using 'Aussie Apples' … [Read more...]
Bread & Circus Wholefoods Canteen – Sydney
Through an inner-city industrial area, across the road from Dan Murphy's and in the shadow of a big green street sign, at the back of a reclaimed brick warehouse, just past the Campos coffee you'll find a new(ish) face on the Sydney food scene. But don't get caught calling them a 'cafe' [gasp], Bread & Circus Wholefoods Canteen is a fresh, open space tucked away on the western edge of Alexandria, serving - in their own words - 'amazing tea, mostly organic and biodynamic food and sweet … [Read more...]
Oat Bran, Almond, Ginger and Pear Porridge
If you haven't noticed there's a bit of a theme happening here. January Loaded Oats for the New Year, February Peach Pie Porridge, March (well not quite March) Oat Bran, Almond, Ginger and Pear Porridge. Who needs 12 months of shirtless firemen when you can have 12 months of porridge... never mind, don't answer that. I had some pears left over from my toasted sandwich and this was the breakfast solution on a busy morning. Pears go brilliantly with almonds and ginger and both up the … [Read more...]
Wild Food Cafe – Bowral
When we headed to the Southern Highlands recently I had quite a time finding any cafe reviews for great breakfasts in Bowral. I scoured the internets for at least 20 minutes during the car ride down and came up reasonably empty handed *insert eye-roll here* so we were on our own to navigate the main streets in search of food. We finally made it to Wild Food Cafe on Sunday morning before heading out of town. After Friday night's stunning dinner, we had a few false starts and encounters … [Read more...]
