For the love of food
Do you know where your meat comes from? Was that piece of juicy pork you just served up once a happy pig rolling in the mud or was it locked up in a shed never to see the light of day? That deliciously tender and moist roast chicken, did it once live in a cage? [...]
Mum seems to be a better source of new restaurant information than me recently and I’m mighty glad she is. Our local Thai restaurant has been a favourite for years but I think it might have just been knocked down a level because Siam Pagoda had possibly the best Thai I’ve had in Brisbane. 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.

Not the instigator my little sister but me, the innocent follower. I was made to pick up each little corn kernel. Incidentally this [...]
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 [...]
The Noosa Farmers Market is one of my favourite markets. I love that it’s truly local. Nearly every stallholder you speak with grew or make their produce themselves. They’re passionate and it shines in their stalls and products. It had been way too long since my last visit so I was more than eager to [...]
