For the love of food
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
I fist read about Ms. G’s on Not Quite Nigella and have been eager to try it since. When Kristin suggested we dine there last Sunday night I jumped at the chance. It’s a rather trendy/retro looking place set over four levels in Potts Point and has been open a few months. They don’t take [...]
Ever since I made Bill Granger’s coconut bread a few months ago, I’ve been eager to try one of his restaurants, so when mum suggested we go there to lunch on Sunday (we had a very quick one-night trip to visit friends and have a bridal day with my bridesmaid Kristin) I was more than [...]
While we were in Sydney a few weeks ago, of course I had to seek out those delicious macrons that my sister brought be back on her recent visit. Baroque Bistro, also recommended by Lorraine at Not Quite Nigella, is located at the rocks almost under the harbour bridge. They have a great selection of [...]
This time last year we were in Europe touring around France, Italy and Spain. I think that on our recent weekend in Sydney, we were trying to recreate our trip through food. I relived France through macarons, Italy through two Italian restaurants and Spain through lunch at Velero at Woolloomooloo. We arrived for an early [...]
Just around the corner from our hotel in Sydney was the new Westfield, home to the most amazing food court I’ve ever seen. It was like a huge room full of top-notch restaurants, take-away style, so very gourmet. There are a few places that also offer table service and one of them is Charlie & [...]
Last weekend, we took a long weekend and flew to Sydney to celebrate our 6th anniversary. We had a fantastic time exploring, eating, drinking, shopping and resting and I did a little photo taking. We stayed at the Hilton in the city and were warmly welcomed with a card, chocolates and a big Happy Anniversary [...]
