For the love of food
You might have noticed a little something different on the side around here recently. I have added a few ad units. Please don’t think I’m selling out. While I love writing here every day and sharing my recipes there are a lot of behind-the-scenes costs as well as bills to pay as you all know. [...]
From Noosa, set your compass west and after a scenic thirty minute drive you’ll find yourself back in time. The first sign you’ll see reads: we love our kids we love our town, please slow down. Should you find yourself there on a Wednesday or Saturday before 2pm the small heritage-listed-building-lined main street and heart of [...]
A few years ago, ok maybe more than a few but not that long ago, Perigian Beach was a bit of a sleepy town. Now, take a stroll through the village nestled behind the beach and you’ll find designer home wares, fancy clothing stores and even a wedding stylist boutique as well as Pitchfork Perigian. You [...]
I’m a little rounder, a little browner, a little more relaxed and a little inspired. In short, I’m ba-ack! I had a wonderful week and a half of holidaying so thought I’d give a little wrap up. On Christmas morning we kicked off the day with a festive feast hosted by my sister and her [...]
We have a bit of a list of celebration restaurants in Noosa. Bistro C, Sails and Berado’s rate highly on that list but on this particular special occasion, all of those restaurants were celebrating their own special occasions. So up the river we went to dine at the riverfront Noosa Waterfront restaurant and bar. The [...]
I’m a little bit nosy. I know, probably comes as a huge surprise right, but I’m one of those people who ‘overhears’ other people’s conversations and likes to throw in their two bobs worth too. Usually I’m just trying to be helpful like convincing someone to buy something that they’re not sure about or helping [...]
Eating out at Noosa on the Sunshine Coast instantly makes you feel like you’re on holidays. At most restaurants the food is fresh and locally sourced, the staff are friendly and helpful and the views are pretty spectacular. Ricky’s restaurant on the Noosa river is definitely not an exception to the rule in fact they [...]
The Wednesday before the wedding, Will and I had our last romantic dinner just the two of us before we became husband and wife. Despite the fact that we’ve both been visiting the Sunshine Coast for more than 20 years, neither of us had ever been to Berado’s. It’s a lovely restaurant on Hastings street [...]
I was pretty specific about the food I wanted at our wedding… lots of it! I didn’t want the traditional two different meals with alternate drop. I wanted variety and options and for it to feel like a big family feast. Finding a caterer that met my requirements was tricky business but not for my [...]
Last Saturday, my bridesmaid Kristin, who lives in Sydney whisked me away for the afternoon. I had no idea where I was going, only that it involved food and was something fun for a bride and bridesmaid. I was driver for the afternoon and getting rather suspicious when she just kept instructing me to keep [...]
We don’t have very many traditions in my family but the ones we do have we do well. Every New Years Day, for at least 10 years, we have been to Bistro C at Noosa for a long lunch to welcome the New Year. It’s one of my favourite restaurants at the coast and I [...]
Whenever we have a weekend away at the Sunshine Coast, invariably one day Will plays golf with dad leaving mum and me free alone to a girly mother-daughter day which always includes lunch. A few visits ago we discovered the Thomas Corner Eatery and it has been on the favourites list ever since. The food [...]
