Would you believe until last week, I’ve never been to Brisbane. I’ve been to Queensland many times, mainly to The Whitsundays and Sunshine Coast, but never Brisbane. I was there for work for a day last week and thought I’d have to eat lunch at some point and thought where could I go? I heard…

Bits & Pieces to Buy at The Grounds Markets | Sydney
I went to The Grounds Markets on the Queen’s public holiday to help out with product photography for one of the market stalls, Lisa’s wonderful Fragrant Flame Soy Candles (check out my earlier review, What soy candles tickle your senses).

There were a lot of films that showcased at the Sydney Film Festival and The Lunchbox was one of the first films I chose to get tickets for. Why? Well, firstly I had a natural affinity to all things bollywood as I’ve been trained in that genre of dance – so much colour, liveliness and energy….

Radio Cairo | Cremorne
Sometimes you just find awesome places by word of mouth. Radio Cairo’s webpage says “I hope Radio Cairo makes a small difference?” Radio Cairo makes a big difference in a small sleepy suburb of Cremorne. I think if there is one type of food that Sydney needs more of it is good quality creole food…

3 interesting aspects about food from ‘Chef’, the film
I watched the film Chef over the weekend which is now showing in cinemas around Australia and it’s more than just a story about a chef, Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) who quits his job at a prominent Los Angeles restaurant after refusing to compromise his creative integrity for its controlling owner (Dustin Hoffman). It shows how…
