For the love of food
Last week was a very exciting one for me. I was published for the first time ever in print. GRAM magazine is a Melbourne-based mag that features restaurant reviews and recipes from Melbourne food bloggers. GRAM launched their first Brisbane issue at the start of April and I was lucky enough to be featured. When [...]
My thoughts of raspberry and white chocolate combined in a home-baked muffin could not be contained. As I write this, I have a little batch sitting behind me cooling. They smell amazing. I tweaked the ingredients a little to make them more bride-friendly. After a whole day of eating on my Birthday and then a [...]
Thank you everyone for my lovely Birthday messages yesterday. I had a fabulous day. Being the food-obsessed girl that I am, of course it involved a lot of eating. I thought I’d give you a little peek into my day. Looking back I’m really not sure how I fitted it all in but oh how [...]
Three little girls are seated at a bustling Chinese restaurant. You know the type – the staff practically run from table to table, sizzling trays of beef and live crabs in their hands. You can hear the lively chefs talking loudly to each other in the fast-paced kitchen. For one of those little girls, aged [...]
I love the area that we live in. Within just a few 100m we have an abundance of shops and restaurants. Whenever one closes I wait with baited breath to see what comes next. Zest cafe started teasing me with their signage and building a few months ago and every few days I walked past [...]
January 2nd, it’s normally a day where resolve for New Year’s resolutions is still strong and many people the world over are sticking to their ‘healthy eating for 2012′ goals. I on the other hand, decided years ago that such goals for me only end badly. Instead I try to balance out my eating year-round. [...]
The wedding countdown is officially on. As of today there are just 5 months away from tying the knot. According to the monthly checklist that I get from one of the many wedding mailing lists I’ve signed up to, the planning is right on track. I’m off to be measured for my dress on Thursday, [...]
I mentioned the other day how much I love Pinterest. I currently have 33 different boards with 1093 ‘pins’ on those boards. It’s become my new time-waster but rather productive time-waster because I’ve discovered so many new things through it. On Saturday, I woke up to a new reason to love Pinterest. They featured me [...]
It’s no secret that I love Italian food. One of my favourite local restaurants is Viale Cannova. Authentic food and wonderful ambiance are the norm at Viale Cannova but it’s more a special occasion restaurant than a place for a weeknight meal. Da Vinci has the authentically delicious Italian food but is a more casual, [...]
Growing up, chicken was one of the only meats I would eat. Not just any chicken though, it had to be white, breast meat, no brown bits of any description. Sausages and ham were the other meats that were acceptable but the only one I would eat on bead was sausage, in fact they had [...]
You would think I had a little obsession with Japanese food at the moment considering the Teriyaki chicken I made last week and two Japanese dinners out in one week. The second Japanese restaurant I visited last week was my local, Hosokawa. This cute little restaurant is very authentic. The food is fantastic and reasonably [...]
Brisbane might not be as hip and happening as Sydney and Melbourne but it has caught on to the casual-Mexican-restaurant-phase that has seen them pop up all over the place. They’ve been around for decades in the USA but have only started opening in Brisbane in the last 2 years. It took me a little [...]
