A weekend away (was it really three weeks ago?) found us trying out Margaret River's breweries. There are eight in total, but we only had time to visit four for this trip. A good reason for another visit! The first lineup at Bush Shack Brewery Our first stop was Bush... Continue reading

Camping just isn't the same without a few packets of marshmallows smooshed onto skewers with their golden skin bubbling over the orange roar. Which is how we spent our evening and the next day. And there's nothing like marshmallow fluff for breakfast on a cold morning. Leaping flames sounded like... Continue reading

—Have you a cheese sandwich?—Yes, sir.Like a few olives too if they had them. Italian I prefer. Good glass of burgundy take away that. Lubricate. A nice salad, cool as a cucumber, Tom Kernan can dress. Puts gusto into it. Pure olive oil. Milly served me that cutlet with a... Continue reading

Dan Brown's new novel Inferno arrived in bookstores May 14th 2013. While he often doesn't mention much food, afterall the characters are running around solving mysteries and trying to save the world from destruction, this time in Inferno, Dan Brown's mentioned particular dishes. I'm sure many bookclubs and food lit... Continue reading

Translated from Italian,... Continue reading

After she left I scrambled around and picked up every single coin, then lay on the floor until the crying stopped. When I could see through my tears, I went straight for a recipe book and made a chocolate mousse pie, my hands shaking as I crushed cookies for the... Continue reading

Willy Wonka. Which, in my little language means, I have so got to share this with you! Check out what The Montagu in London has created as a limited edition dessert menu to celebrate the new West End musical of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Limited Edition as in, it's... Continue reading

While he ate his sandwich and sipped his beer, a bit of conversation came back to him. Blaisedell, the poet, had said to him, "You love beer so much. I'll bet some day you'll go in and order a beer milkshake." It was a simple piece of foolery but it... Continue reading

The Sanitation Department gave up. The job was too big. Everyone feared for their lives. They couldn't go outside most of the time. Many houses had been badly damaged by giant meatballs, stores were boarded up and there was no more school for the children. So a decision was made... Continue reading

Hi Stephanie, I love crab too, although I'd never thought to work with crab from a can. In fact, never even realised I could buy it that way!

Hi Jen, It's always a struggle being celiac isn't it! Hope you enjoy them as much as I did :)

There are shallow bowls full of raw vegetables. And there is, in its earthenware dish, the crab casserole Clarissa made herself, for Richard, because it was his favorite.

Seated on the divan beside Langdon, Sophie drank her tea and ate a scone, feeling the welcome effects of caffeine and food. Sir Leigh Teabing was beaming as he awkwardly paced before the open fire, his leg braces clicking on the stone hearth. -The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown Just... Continue reading

I had originally planned to don us in duck costumes, specifically Huey, Dewey and Louie. I even did what I never do, and started making the costumes well in advance. However, night before the run and I couldn't for the life of me get the heads done. Which, was probably... Continue reading

Butler prepared them a meal. Nothing fancy. Vegetarian spring rolls, followed by mushroom risotto with creme caramel to finish. Mulch opted for a bucket of diced worms and beetles, sauteed in a rainwater and moss vinaigrette. -Artemis Fowl and The Eternity Code, Eoin Colfer Chả giò. Lumpia. Chungwon. Loempia. Vårrullar....

With the excitement surrounding The Great Gatsby release, I thought it would be fun to take you on a tour through Sydney and explore the locations where Baz Luhrmann brought The Great Gatsby scenes to life. image: Warner Bros.

The upside of being tiny is that you curl up well, like a cat, on most seats. Which particularly came in handy when I found myself catching some shut eye on a Thursday night Cathay Pacific flight bound direct for Hong Kong. A few hours of catching zzz's, and I... Continue reading

That's 9 hours of driving right there. Nine. long. hours. 776 kms. We passed only 8 towns. When I say towns, some of these were just gas stations. Maybe another building or two. If you were in the US, that would probably be like driving from California, straight through Arizona.... Continue reading

There was music from my neighbor’s house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft, or... Continue reading

The notion originated with Daisy's suggestion that we hire five bathrooms and take cold baths, and then assumed more tangible form as 'a place to have a mint julep'. -The Great Gatsby, F. Scott. Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby didn't hold my attention very well, I suppose I like my books... Continue reading

She heard John's footsteps coming up the stairs. She was eagerly awaiting his customary visit. John's words were her only link with the world. If only she could talk, tell him how much his presence and his conversations meant to her. If only she could go down to Alex and... Continue reading
