When I come back from a couple of days travelling and there’s nothing at home for dinner, or you just want to quickly cook up something homemade because you’ve eaten out a lot whilst on holidays, it’s easy to whip my favourite pasta dish using the usual players of olive oil, Parmesan, flaky sea salt along…

Stylediaries :: Review May Keylooks Collection & Reflections of Life as a Blogger
I was having lunch with a few bloggers the other day and we shared our experiences about blogging. What started off as a passion does become a little obsession, always capturing a moment on camera but I also try to ensure that I don’t lose sight of the ‘real life’ moment by ensuring what I…

Turandot with Opera Australia: Food & Opera experience
I must admit I’m a late comer when it comes to appreciating opera stage performance. Unlike musical theatre, when opera is sung in Italian I don’t understand it.

Barilla Tagliatelle with Artichokes, Prawns & Saffron Recipe: Quick & Easy Weeknight Dinner
I always love trying to cook new pasta dishes at home as pasta is such a versatile product with flavours you can experiment with. I tried Barilla’s new Tagliatelle egg pasta which is now available from Woolworths. It is a little different to the other Barilla pasta I’ve used. It’s finer and cooks a lot quicker ie in 5 minutes. Tagliatelle all’Uovo…
