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). My home smells so good ever since I came across Lisa’s candles. She has such a vast range…

6 talented crafters I discovered at The Finders Keepers Markets
I went to The Finders Keepers Markets in Sydney today for the first time. What a great concept. Its purpose is to bring independent design to the forefront and encourage the Australian emerging art and design scene, creating a market scene that maintains the grass roots level but with high standards in both quality and…
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…
Adelaide’s Steven ter Horst Chocolatier delivers Australia wide
I live in Sydney. Steven ter Horst Chocolatier is in Adelaide. I’ve never been to Adelaide before. How on earth did I hear about or end up trying a box of chocolates from Steven ter Horst Chocolatier? A work colleague from Melbourne caught up with me in Sydney and mentioned he went to the Adelaide…
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…
Baileys Chocolat Luxe | Shopping
I went to the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week After Party a few weeks back and on the drinks menu was the delicious Baileys Chocolat Luxe that I tried for the first time, combining a luxurious Belgian chocolate, Irish whiskey, and cream which has taken more than three years to craft, resulting in a rich, molten…
The Potting Shed at The Grounds
I went to The Grounds on Easter Sunday for lunch to spend some time with family. The day turned out to be more than just having lunch and coffee at The Potting Shed. The Easter Markets were on at The Grounds, the preferred coffee supplier for the upcoming TEDxSydney event, drew the crowds and truly was a photographer’s…
Paddington Inn | Paddington
I normally don’t do pub food – in fact, I rarely step into one, but I’ve been to Paddington Inn a couple of times now. The section of Paddington Inn at the back of the establishment that serves food is more like a bistro rather than a pub. If you are looking for a convenient…
Corretto Café | Paddington
I was in Paddington on Saturday – it was cold, miserable and wet. I would normally go to my favourite café in the area to grab a coffee except the queue this time was long. It probably was also because of an auction that took place around the corner for a stunning Paddington terrace drew the crowds and people…
Eating Healthy: 5 reasons why you must do Bridget Davis’ Cooking Class | Alexandria
I don’t know about you but I’m pretty time poor these days but at the same time I recognise the need to maintain good health to keep up with my pretty active lifestyle. Don’t wait until you get sick (or someone close to you gets sick) before you start paying attention to what you are…
