For the love of food
To be ‘at sixes and sevens,’ according to wikipedia, is to be in a state of confusion or disarray. I thought that it had a similar meaning to betwixt and between which I guess it does in a way. I’m not entirely sure where this ties in with at Sixes and Sevens New Farm, as I was [...]
Perth is not just a beautiful city, it’s also home to some pretty amazing, albeit expensive food. Our three days in Perth were largely focussed around my favourite thing to do – eat. Luckily my friends all share my love of food (one of the reasons we’re friends I guess!) and our hosts were excited [...]
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’m really not a fan of football. I should be a good wife and get into it but I just find it so hard to watch. So when I got an invitation to go out to dinner on State of Origin night last week, of course I didn’t think twice before accepting. It was the [...]
I always find it a little tricky finding restaurants in foreign places. I hate the thought of wasting a meal on a so-so restaurant.

You can hear the lively chefs talking loudly to each other in the fast-paced kitchen. For one of those little girls, aged [...]
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 I only had 27 hours in Singapore I did manage to pack in quite a lot of eating. I think tasting the food of a country is a great way to immerse yourself in the culture (or that might be an excuse to eat lots). As I mentioned in Wednesday’s post, after dinner we [...]
I wasn’t sure what to expect of Shanghai. Knowing nothing about the city except its massive population, the only things I did expect were for it to be a bit chaotic and very very busy. I was right with my prediction of mild chaos, their roads are rather different to ours. I nearly got run [...]
