Some exciting news – my first ever printed words!

April 14, 2012 By Claire 12 Comments
My face in print

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 [...]

The two old ladies tea shop – Pomona, Queensland

April 13, 2012 By Claire 12 Comments
DSC_1676

White rabbits, white rabbits, white rabbits. Just had to get that over with so nothing bad can happen to me considering it’s Friday the 13th! Last Friday, actually maybe it was Saturday, I had the very opposite of a bad day. My bridesmaid Kristin, who lives in Sydney whisked me away for a few hours [...]

Flour and Stone – Woolloomooloo

April 10, 2012 By Claire 20 Comments
Beautiful biscuits

Way back before I started blogging and probably before I even really knew what a blog was, my friend sent me a link. ‘You have to read this blog it’s fantastic’, were her instructions and so I did as I was told. Not Quite Nigella was the blog she was talking about and I have [...]

The Moray Cafe – New Farm, Brisbane

Seasonal tropical fruit plate served with honecomb and coconut yoghurt $14

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 [...]

Alfajores – Argentinian dulce de leche sandwich cookies

March 21, 2012 By Claire 6 Comments
Alfajores

Sweet, liquid gold you could eat with a spoon. The second it touches your lips you close your eyes as you drift away to heaven. That’s how I would describe dulce de leche should anyone ask. Oh boy is it good. It was probably my most favourite thing about Argentina and to them it’s treated [...]

Singapore Takeout – Get lost in Singapore

March 20, 2012 By Claire 6 Comments
DSC_0243

The ‘where the bloody hell are you?’ campaign was not one of Queensland Tourism’s finest moments. I certainly wouldn’t be rushing to a place that spoke to me like that but when Singapore now tells me to ‘get lost’ I’m surprisingly intrigued. Their latest tourism campaign is all about losing yourself in the sights, the [...]

In my kitchen – March 2012

Close up of the hand-painted beauty

I’m a little late with my In My Kitchen post this month. Time seems to run away when a wedding is on the horizon! So without further ado… In my kitchen is (I should say was – he met his fate yesterday) a beautiful gingerbread elephant from Flour and Stone. Flour and Stone is the [...]

Fratelli paradiso – Potts Point, Sydney

February 28, 2012 By Claire 8 Comments
Fratelli Paradiso

Before Will and I went to Europe in 2010, I decided it was time to learn Italian. I already knew a little bit of Spanish from one year of it at uni (plus my mum speaks Spanish and I have a Spanish aunt and uncle). I can’t really remember how it happened but somehow I [...]

Watermoon Japanese restaurant – Potts Point, Sydney

February 25, 2012 By Claire 4 Comments
Mixed sushi platter

One thing I really like about Sydney is that it seems, in certain areas, you could visit a new restaurant every night and still not have tried them all at the end of a month. In the Potts Point/Darlinghurst area, everything is within walking distance and out of the many restaurants I’ve tried, I’ve never [...]

El Loco Mexican cantina y barra & Messina Gelato – Sydney

February 23, 2012 By Claire 14 Comments
DSC_9589

Never have I been to a place that so lived up to its name as El Loco. For those of you who need to brush up on your Spanish, El Loco = the crazy. This place was definitely that. It’s a serious hot spot especially on a Saturday night which is when we chose to [...]

Bourke Street Bakery – Potts Point, Sydney

February 21, 2012 By Claire 13 Comments
Burke Street Bakery

You might remember this post from last year where I ate my way around Sydney in 3 days with my Sydney-sider (still Brisbane at heart) friend Kristin.  Last weekend, we repeated the food fest this time with the boys too. I have lots of food adventures to share from the weekend and the first stop, [...]
