The country market is one of those places that I wish I visited more often. Yes we have our share of city farmers markets dotted around town and as good as most of them are, the ones beyond the urban wilderness have a certain simple and unstructured format about them. I find they’re even cheaper than the [...]

If someone was to ask who had a penchant for pastry I’d whip my hand up so fast I’d come close to dislocating my shoulder. I love the stuff. I don’t give a toss how much butter or lard it contains, all that matters to me is the flavour and texture and the fact that it’s generally used as a vehicle [...]

It’s funny how your plans can change in a split-second. There I am minding my own business sipping on a coffee at a café by Rockdale Station when I look up and see a familiar face. This person seemed a little preoccupied and was looking for something herself and when she asked if I wanted to [...]

The city of Toulouse, located in the country’s southwest, sits smack-dab between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Its compact historical centre is easily walked and is a wonderful place to explore. The Place du Capitole with its stately buildings is the centre of town and the hub of social life in the city. Posh restaurants, shops and street cafés [...]

Until recently, I never really considered myself a lover of the sweet stuff. By recently I mean the last few years and by stuff I mean cakes, lollies, ice cream and pastries. Perhaps it comes down to growing up in a household that rarely had such things laying about or maybe when it was I [...]

So there we were, battling it out on the first free ferry from the foreshore steps out the front of the Museum Of Contemporay Art. A battle that involved inner-city creative types, the odd tourist, many, many parents and their offspring and this pair from downtown Erskineville. I was warned the crowds could get overwhelming, hence getting [...]

I’ve been wielding a camera around food in public places for a year and a half now and never really had anything more than a curious glance, a giggle or a bit of whispering from other diners. When something looks delicious (or not) does it not deserve to be photographed? Only once have I been asked not to photograph food and that [...]

It never ceases to surprise me how most of us take for granted the things we have in our own backyards. You know it’s there, you’ve see it countless times and yet you’ve never quite stopped to give it a go. One such place is a mere five minutes walk from my house, a place [...]
