I stepped in the lift and watched the floor number display in the lift rise, rise and rise, 10 …20 …30 …40 …50 …60 ….80…110 …123. High Tea experience at the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world was nothing short of extraordinary. This literally was a (very) High Tea experience, at the At.mosphere…

See.Taste.Do Weekend Diary: Day Out with Artists in Sydney
I love Sydney. This is my home and there is always so much to see, taste and do. I had a thoroughly enjoyable day yesterday from singing Happy Birthday with our Prime Minister to meeting a gorgeous Mexican perfume and scent maker, Carlos Huber who is here in Sydney launching his new fragrance range.

Style Diaries :: What Lounge Suit means
Party season is approaching. When an invitation hits your inbox that says “Attire: Lounge suit” what do you wear? Well after numerous correspondence with my fashion blogging friend Scarlett from Trends VIP, we worked out that lounge suit is a formal dress, that is usually long but you can get away with knee length and…
Travel diaries :: Long Weekend Away: Things to See, Taste and Do on Norfolk Island
As we landed on Norfolk Island on board an Air New Zealand flight from Sydney, I saw the vastness of emerald green pastures, rugged earth, bottle green pines and surrounding turquoise bays meeting the metallic deep seas of the South Pacific Ocean and oh, a local cow, briefly looked up at the plane and then…
Weekend recipe :: Pesto Pappardelle with Chilli Tuna and Asparagus
I look at recipes all the time but I rarely follow them word for word as I like to experiment, thinking “what if I added this instead?”.

Cooking From The Source with Lonely Planet
I like to cook. That hasn’t always been the case but it has been in the past few years or so. I like the process of creation as it allows you to think about your ingredients, the flavours that go together, what to get, how to prepare it, and how it should be presented, what…
Recipes :: Seafood Bouillabaisse recipe that works
The first time I thought I really love seafood bouillabaisse is when I tried it as a restaurant called Graze MCA adjacent to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney in Circular Quay. It is a venue not only to go to if you want an excellent view of Sydney Harbour and the Opera House…
Recipes :: Slow living Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta and Walnut Crumbs
Slow living … a lifestyle emphasising slower approaches to aspects of everyday life (according to Wikipedia). I always look forward to weekends because what I love the most is to slow down from a busy work week and contemplate what to cook, what ingredients to get, and where to get them from. Just simply appreciating what…
Singin’ In The Rain at the Sydney Lyric Theatre
I attended the opening night of Singin’ In The Rain last night and I thoroughly enjoyed it – the music, the dancing, singing and acting, the stage, all of it, evidenced by the whoops, the cheers and the standing ovation of a fervently appreciative audience at the end of the show. The original 1952 film,…
