Despite my best efforts to live a healthy lifestyle, my love of sweet treats and fine food always sabotages my good intentions (damnn you delicious fats and carbs!) Don’t get me wrong; there’s nothing wrong with indulging in life’s sweeter things every once and a while. But there comes a point where you have to step…
Sydney, Australia. The city of blonde shaggy haired beach babes with taut, tanned bods. The city where sparkling tanzanite waters lap gleefully under the strong sturdy mothership of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The city with plenty of unique restaurants, rockin’ bars, stunning beaches and cultural charm. There are some places you know that you just have to visit when…
Baking for me is one massive stress reliever, so for the life of me I can not figure out why, when lately life has been just a tad (read: very) stressful, I haven’t been baking more. Oh yes, that’s it, time. That little thing that always seems so present, but continues to somehow elude us day after day. So,…
Foodies, I don’t know about you, but I’m excited. Do you want to know why I’m excited? Do you? Yeah, you do, because you’re going to be excited too. Coming up in about 3 weeks is Sydney’s Cake, Bake & Sweets show (I know, EXCITING STUFF!) WIthout me even telling you what it’s all about,…
Hard work and dedication really does pay off, my loyal foodies and travellers. Whilst I haven’t posted on E&T in a while, it’s for a good reason. I’ve been off gallivanting down Australia’s East coast on a Contiki trip, one that I got sent on, courtesy of News Ltd and The Travel Corporation. You know…
Oh hey there foodies, didn’t see you there, long time no speak! Yes, I know, it seems like most of my posts these days begin with a similar sentence, but it’s not my fault. Because LIFE. Life is busy. But finally in the lead up to Christmas it seems to be winding down. Somehow. I’ve…
Cottage Bar and Kitchen in Balmain is a quaint and rustic restaurant with a lovely homely vibe. Stepping inside its doors is a welcomed changed from the bustle of Darling Street, making you feel as if you’ve entered a vintage style farmhouse. With kitsch style like your grandma’s house and a warm, relaxed ambience, it’s no wonder…
Some of the best recipes in life are family recipes, those that have been passed down through generations. So for today’s Sunday Sweets I bring to you a recipe that was my late grandmother’s, which was passed down to my mother, who has passed it on to me. It’s one of my favourite desserts because…
Why hello there! Long time no speak! Where have you been? Only kidding, more like where have I been? Honestly, I don’t even know. I’ve been in some kind of trance-like zombie world where I have so much work to do and oh so very little time and I just live my day in a very fuzzy…
DISCLAIMER: My first time to London was filled with days of exploring Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, The London Eye, Buckingham Palace and so on. These are also must dos! However, if you’ve already done all that, then the below must dos are, well, must dos! And please excuse the poor picture quality – these photos were…
