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…

How to pace yourself at the Sheraton on the Park Lunar Year buffet
The first thing you see when you walk into the Sheraton on the Park’s Signature restaurant, Feast is the vibrant colours of the fresh seafood station, ladened with crayfish, oysters, prawns, salmon and more oysters resting below the bright red lanterns up above. Even if that was the only thing at the Sheraton on the Park’s Chinese…
QT Sydney: ‘Gone to Gowings’ … for lunch and a facial
It’s the first week back at work in the city after a break in Tasmania and the contrast in the environment could not be more stark. I felt the tension creeping in my back, in my shoulders, my neck, my mind as I settle back in my office. Why are there so many impatient people…
In Tasmania, Hiking and Gourmet Cuisine in the Bay of Fires
“I just saw a snake, a deadly one in my path and survived”, I thought to myself as I sat in the van that took us from Mount Williams National Park where we concluded our 4 day Bay of Fires lodge walk to the Quamby Estate in Hagley, which is 30 minutes by car from…
Blanc de Blanc & Summer Playground at Sydney Opera House
Non Je Ne Regrette Rien … No, I regret nothing.

And what a spectacle! I was fortunate to be invited…
Barilla pasta recipe: Orecchiette with prawns, broccoli and Sundried Tomato Pesto
What do you normally do on Christmas day? I normally return to the family home I grew up in for Christmas and my mum would usually be the one cooking up a big Christmas lunch feast or starting the BBQ as my siblings, closest aunts, uncles and cousins gather around the table to catch-up on…

I recently popped into Soul Origin in The Wintergarden in Sydney and tried their wide range of healthy and delicious lunch options, which is great for office workers like me with back to back meetings, loads of paperwork to get through the day and who just wants a good selection of healthy options to take on…
Hugos Manly
I crave the perfect pizza … particularly after my recent experience in Sydney on the judging panel for Australia’s best pizza as part of the World Pizza Championships at Fine Foods Australia 2015 or perhaps it’s a better and more informed appreciation of it. A pizza is not as simple as it appears. At Hugos Manly their pizzas…
Why we used Sydney’s Catering Project
If you asked me a few years ago about using catering for work functions, I probably would have said our in-house kitchen in our firm would appear to be operating just fine. But in house kitchens in professional services firms are not restaurants trying to bring in new customers, new business and probably are under less…
The Langham Sydney Michelin Star and Burnt Film Experience
“I don’t want my restaurant to be a place where you come and eat, I want people to sit at that table and be sick with longing … I want people to have a culinary orgasm”. This was the most memorable quote from Chef Adam Jones (played by Bradley Cooper) after watching the film, Burnt…
