One of Australia’s most celebrated chefs – most known for her amazing desserts and Asian inspired cooking, held a class at the Sydney Seafood School last week which I was very excited about. After an hour long demonstration on how to prepare each dish, we separated into groups of 5 to try...
12 hour getaway
I only had Sunday off last week, so I did a 12 hour getaway to the Hunter with a few friends of mine. Ideally it would’ve been lovely to stay overnight, but an 8:30am meeting on a Monday morning didn’t help.
I booked a 2 bedroom apartment for my friends at Tonic Hotel which is in Lovedale....

So many flavours in a bite!
Fresh basil, vine ripened tomatoes, prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Takes 5 minutes to prepare… and so satisfying.

Organic Delivery
I’m talking 100% Certified Organic produce. It’s a healthier way of eating without pesticides and preservatives. Despite what others think, I say that it doesn’t hurt to try – the produce definitely TASTES better.
I ordered on Sunday, still in bed with my hair frazzled, and it...
Fettuccine al tartufovo
Went to Buon Ricordo for Dad’s belated birthday dinner last night for their renowned Truffled egg fettuccine. Many people speak highly of Armando’s work but every time I visit, there seems to be nothing to rave about except for this fettuccine dish. Nevertheless I decided to give it its fourth...
The quintessence of…
lonliness. Or not?
Fresh egg spaghettini. Seared pepper tuna. Baby Roma tomatoes. Fresh Basil. Cauliflower mash. TV remote.
love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.?
