Google “New York best soup dumplings” and you soon realise that many of the results show Joe’s Shanghai Restaurant; the name just keeps popping up everywhere. After a lot of review reading my own consensus was formed that Joe’s was definitely on the cards as a must visit in New York City. Yes, it was only a matter [...]

A work trip to Melbourne is something I always look forward to. Change of scenery, trapsing the expansive Retail Trade Fair at the Exhibition Centre in search of exciting new products to purchase, sore back and feet from not sitting down for nine hours. Fun and games. Food-wise, the canteens in the halls are all [...]

Waking up in my hotel room knowing I didn’t have to shove breakfast down my throat and rush off to the Exhibition Centre to start work was refreshing, to say the least. Sunday mornings are all about relaxation and taking it easy, I reckon. The sun was out, Collins Street was devoid of the usual traffic and I [...]

I remember flicking through cook books at Miss K’s place in London last year and photographed a few pages to add to my “I’ll make it one day” pile of recipes. Do I remember the name of the cookbook? Sadly not. Anyone that’s spent more than [...]

It appears we have a bit of peep-show action happening in broad daylight on one of this towns busiest thoroughfares. No frosted glass, no coin slots, just dirty middle-aged men like me peering through at cheeky women handling stuff I really want to get my teeth into. I mean look at the way she’s grasping [...]

I’ve always been interested foods from the past and have had a couple of books on the subject since my late teenage years, yet never really made much from them. I’m fascinated by what folk ate back in the Middle Ages and their heavy use of spices and ingredients considered valuable and precious, much of which [...]

Having family down from Brisbane always excites me a tad so when Big Bro & his better half decided to book a flight and spend a weekend in the big smoke I knew it would be time spent eating, exploring and more eating. He’s as passionate about food as I am and the only difference is that [...]
