20 October 2011 Central Coast

The Hunter Valley is a region I rarely get to but when I do make it up there I always hear myself saying “I have to come here more often.” Fresh air, no traffic, rolling hills abundant with grape vines and when it’s only two hours from Sydney I really have no excuses to not visit. [...]

How could anybody not like a duck? They’re cute when they waddle about and wiggle their tail feathers and they’re damn tasty no matter how they’re cooked. Earlier this year I was invited to MuMu Grill for a porky feast and thanks to owner/chef Craig Macindoe I was invited back for another event, this time [...]

Once again the scenery was picturesque to say the least and it seemed that every man, woman and infant decided to catch the same ferry as me [...]

You can take a boy out of the Inner West, but you can’t take the Inner West out of the boy. I thought I had it all planned. Sunday morning, cloudless skies, a perfect day for a #deckhousebrunch and what better way to get to Deckhouse than by water? I decided to take a ferry from Circular [...]

Yeah, check it out … a glorious chewy and slightly crispy rosette of pancetta on top of a creamy and moist peach and frangipane tart. Sweet and salty. Unconventional yet satisfying.

Jarno Trulli dinner   When I think back to my early days in Sydney, say 1993, I often walked past a relatively new restaurant (with the most amazing view over the skyline) just up the road from where I lived in Potts Point. It was only early days but who would have thought that this [...]
