This is one of those recipes that has been wafting around my “to do” recipe folder for many years. It has less than a handful of ingredients, is very easy to make and is deliciously refreshing. Come to think of it, I had a version of this at Sweet Belem earlier this year. Essentially it’s a [...]

It seems the food scene around the Opera House has entered the 21st century. A few of our current favourite eateries have been gathered and alligned, offering a swath of food on the lower concourse just metres away from the rippling harbour. Gone is that drab cafe with ordinary coffee, finally, and in its place is this [...]

I’ve got to say, us Sydneysiders should consider ourselves spoilt when it comes to having a sizeable and vibrant Chinatown in the middle of our city, especially when you wander the streets in Londons Soho and discover the Chinatown there is comprised of just a few streets and city blocks. It’s so small you could [...]

The first I heard of this place was sitting in my Wellington hotel room, flicking through some travel mag in between marathon eating events as part of Wellington On A Plate 2010. The article I read was brief, just a couple of sentences describing a hip little coffee house in London’s Soho. I tore the page out [...]

The first time I saw this dessert, or one that resembles it, was at the Thai street food eatery House located in Sydney’s Surry Hills. Its decadent combination of toasted brioche and luscious pandan icecream drizzle with palm sugar syrup had me raptured and wanting more. I’ve since had this BTS dessert at House two or three [...]

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 [...]

Wellington is not only a place to satiate your senses with food, wine and bloody good coffee but it also puts on a good show for anyone interested in a bit of art. Just by wandering the streets you can catch sight of the odd mural painted on the side of a building or a ‘pop up’ [...]
