There they sit. Four jars of condiments aligned in order of viciousness. Tomato, onion & coriander salsa – Safe on the palate, no chilli at all, flavoursome and cooling. Pineapple salsa ...
It’s been a while since I made some dumplings so I’ve dragged out a recipe I found online well over a year ago and have only just decided to give it a burl. I’ve never been to Tonga...
It’s about 5° C outside. You’re in a foreign city, you’ve finished work and your feet are sore. It’s about to get dark and you’re feeling a little snacky. What to do? We...
Mussels are one of those things that many people just never cook at home. Anyone that loves them has their own favourite way of preparation but the best way is to just keep it simple. Here’s on...
Every now and then I come across a meal that impresses the crap out of me. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a crisp linen kind of joint with crockery significantly larger than the morsel of fo...
It’s funny that I’ve come back to cooking something that this Croatian fisherman, chef and restaurateur makes at his pride and joy eating house, Konoba Batelina in Istria. Not only does t...
Don’t be fooled by the delicate cherry blossoms. The city of Yiwu far from qualifies as being one of China’s beautiful cities. It’s industrial, it’s bleak, it’s polluted...
Every so often the other half bakes one of the most glorious cakes I’ve eaten. Over the years this recipe has evolved into being more moist and even more gingery thanks to someones heavy-handli...
With New York behind us we jetted back to the west, landing in a desert town I’ve never had a huge desire to go to but just wanted to see and tick off the list. Las Vegas. The only remote fasci...
The very first time I left Australia’s shores was for a five-day trip to Hong Kong. It was exciting to say the least. I was about 22 years old and had only just moved to Sydney, met my partner ...
Peasant food is something I will always surrender a bit of time for, especially when it comes to the peasant food from my parents home country, Croatia. When they left what was then Yugoslavia as you...
We’ve been riding a little voucher wave of late, snapping up the too-good-to-pass-up meal bargains on various websites. Coincidentally we’re back at the St Margarets complex for another o...
The eating options in a town like Honkers are sure to bring satisfaction to just about any fussy visitor. While some may just want to tuck into the local specialties and ignore other cuisine options,...
Many months have passed since I last ate out on one of those deal vouchers offering such-n-such quantity of dishes for whatever discounted price. Here’s my latest. Graze. New Summer Menu Feast ...
Stepping away from the Hong Kong tourist trail can only come with the highest recommendations. I reckon that applies to any city in the world. This trip wasn’t about The Peak, the nightly light...
The south end of King Street seems to have become a little more noisy of late. No, not the doof doof from the ghetto boys hooning into town to do laps but more like a repetitive tapping of metal agai...
I’ve taken a step away from the ordinary with these hot cross buns by using the recipe from my previous challah buns. They’re a bit lighter in texture when compared to your regular hot cr...
When the other half wins a return flight to Hong Kong it would be a bit of a waste if they went on their own, wouldn’t it? Much better with a bit of company, hence my long-long weekend in HK re...
For those that don’t know, a challah is a braided bread usually served on Sabbath. It’s a similar bread to brioche and I’ve stepped away from the traditional methods by adding spice...
All we seem to be hearing lately is what latest ticket has just open its doors in Surry Hills. Sliders, taco’s and faux Reuben sandwiches embraced by inner city urbanites donning over-sized bla...
While our two weeks in New York may have been all about the food, just wandering the streets and neighbourhoods offers countless snapshots of this dynamic city. This truly is one photogenic city. Her...
Several months back I was wandering down York Street when I just happened to notice that Jaipur Maharaja had closed and a Malaysian place was about to move in. Nice one. I never really made it to the...
I reckon one of my earliest memories, way back when I only spoke Croatian, was tucking into warm and freshly made palacinke (crêpes) sprinkled with sugar and drizzled with fresh lemon juice. Fifteen ...
The south end of King Street in Newtown yet again gets another fresh face. Spencer Guthrie. Two guys with a lot to say via the contemporary food they dish up at their newly fitted space that was once...
Here we have another epic compilation carrying on from where I left off with the previous Manhattan Munchies post. Let’s start with another restaurant by Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich - Otto ...
The Jewish festival of Purim falls on 8 March and one of the traditional things to make, and eat, are these little triangular cookies that are filled with a sweet centre. A hamantash supposedly symbo...
Longevity is something any restaurateur would hope to have when they first open their doors. The initial six to twelve months is generally make or break time, especially in these money pinching times...
I’ve never been one to watch Lidia Bastianich’s cooking programmes - Lidia’s Family Table or Lidia’s Italy. Not because I have no interest, it’s just that I never get ar...
This little treat is something I grew up with and have fond memories of enjoying when I was very young. I still remember the time I was around 10 years old when visiting my brothers god parents house...
Mention the name Marrickville and any Sydney foodie would immediately think of Vietnamese thanks to the moderate number of restaurants that line the two main thoroughfares of Illawarra and Marrickvil...
