After a long drought of dessert posts, I’m following up the last one with another in quick succession. This one could even be tackled by dessert novices – like me! The Co-pilot and I were catching up with some neighbours for dinner. It sounds odd, but yes – we seem to get along very well [...]

There are a few things to celebrate – for a start this is my 100th post! It was also my blog’s 1 year anniversary a couple of months ago, back in October, but back then I was taking a hiatus from blog posts whilst holidaying in South America. So, to mark this humble little milestone, [...]

Poached loquats with jasmine and see Julie & Julia on me!

Spring has come unusually early this year and all around me lush green shoots sprout, flowers are in full bloom, cherry blossom petals float and swirl down streets lifted by warm spring air drafts and birds twitter overhead as they build their nests.

May 29, 2009

Cupcake armcandy?

March 6, 2009

Have you been to Cupcake on Pitt yet? I know fancy boutique cupcake places have been sprouting up all around Sydney like rampant wild mushrooms after heavy rain, but how many have such cute carry boxes? As much as I like BabyCakes, their boxes are positively drab compared to these ones. Check out Cupcake on [...]

Get your fix at Fix St James

February 14, 2009

Given my kitchen is out of commission at the moment whilst I wait for builders to put my bright shiny new one in, I’m making the most of meals out and trying out new places around the city. Last night my friend Jo and I caught up after work for dinner and drinks. As we [...]

Makoto makes me happy

February 4, 2009

One of my favourite cuisines is Japanese – specifically sushi, and one of my favourite sushi places in Sydney is Makoto on Liverpool Street, World Square in the city. There are always crowds clambering to get in here so turnover of the conveyor belt dishes is rapid and the food is always ultra fresh and [...]
