I've been loving trying out plenty of new cafes and restaurants around Melbourne. A place I've been to a few times now is out in the far eastern suburbs in Ringwood. It's definitely very 'Melbourne' cafe with a typical industrial feel and fake plants on a brick wall. What is also very typical of Melbourne … Continue reading Review: Fingers Crossed Cafe Ringwood
Are there some recipes that are your go-to when you have family or friends over for dinner? The last few times I’ve had visitors, and I didn’t know what to cook, I chose a classic and family favourite: roast chicken. My roast chicken has a bit of a fresh twist with a lemon and thyme … Continue reading Lemon and Thyme Roast Chicken with Gravy
In the trendy suburb of Prahran, there is a cafe in a backstreet alleyway area, called Babble. The "building" it is in is actually an old weatherboard house which has been restored and turned into the cafe - Such a hipster Melbourne thing to do! When you enter the cafe it still has much of … Continue reading Restaurant Review: Babble Cafe Prahran
Now that we have moved to Melbourne, we are finding great new places to eat. We are also trying to find places that are close to home in the inner-east suburbs. There are seriously so many to chose from that it's hard to narrow it down and actually pick one! We decided to use the … Continue reading Restaurant Review: Squires Loft Camberwell
It's well and truly winter here in Australia. I live in the cold capital of Canberra so I know a thing or two about cold winter days! There's also an icy wind on top of having most nights sub zero... just thinking about it makes me shiver! Winter always calls for comfort foods that warm … Continue reading Creamy Chicken & Corn Soup Recipe

Cauliflower Cheese is one of my mans favourite dinner foods. He specifically requests it for his birthday dinner. It's is a classic side dish that works great with chicken schnitzel, steak or a gold old fashioned roast. Or if you are like my partner, you could just eat the dish whole! This can easily be made … Continue reading Comforting Cauliflower Cheese
For those who follow me on social media, you would have seen that I completed the Veganuary challenge in January. It was really a interesting challenge that completely opened my eyes to new possibilities in the kitchen. One new recipe I tried was scrambled tofu. I already liked the taste of tofu and occasionally ordered … Continue reading Vegan Scrambled Tofu: the Healthy & Cruelty-Free Alternative
Some of my readers may have heard of Veganuary. For those who haven't it's a food challenge where you eat vegan foods for the whole month of January. So that's no products that come from an animal - including cutting out honey and even some wines! The purpose is to raise awareness of animal suffering, … Continue reading Veganuary Challenge 2017
One of my favourite things about travelling away is eating out at new and exciting places. My recent getaway to the South Coast was no different. It's often super busy at this time of the year up and down the East Coast. Without a doubt, most of Canberra leaves the territory around Christmas Eve and … Continue reading Italian Dinner with a Sea View at Sorriso Italian
