Winter is here and after a hiatus in blogging, peppered with a trip around Europe and a new job, it feels right to pick this up again. There are some dishes that keeps on giving after it is cooked, and this generous dish by Yotam Ottolenghi is definitely one of those. Caponata is a Sicilian… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Caponata

Meatless Monday: Ottolenghi’s Kosheri
Starting Meatless Monday with this recipe from Ottolenghi’s cookbook, Ottolenghi: The Cookbook. This is a completely unfamiliar dish for me, so cooking this felt a bit like reading a choose your own adventure book. So what is Kosheri? According to Wikipedia it’s: Kushari, also koshary, kosheri or koshari (Egyptian Arabic: كشرى, [ˈkoʃæɾi]), is an Egyptian dish of rice, macaroni and lentils mixed together, topped with a tomato sauce, some… Continue reading Meatless Monday: Ottolenghi’s Kosheri
Catching up at The Bridge Room
Sometimes (actually a lot!) in life, one can have too many photos sitting site unseen and not enough time to catch up with friends. Through Lemonpi’s sheer persistence, a group of us manager to find our way at The Bridge Room.

Meatless Monday and Happy 2012 : Okra curry
With the blink of an eye and explosion around Sydney, 2012 is here. We greeted New Year sitting on a balcony overlooking the city, eating cheese and playing board games. I can only hope that 2012 will be just as chilled.
Meatless Monday: Shepherd’s Pie with Lentils
Winter is well and truly here. The weather has turned from the pretty leaves on the ground stage to doonas and incredibly unattractive long john stage. With that in mind, comfort food is the way to go and nothing spells out comfort food like Shepherd Pie. This particular recipe was taken from Taste.com.au with a few… Continue reading Meatless Monday: Shepherd’s Pie with Lentils

The Meatless Monday campaign was and still is a non for profit initiative of The Monday Campaigns, in association with the Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health. The… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Okonomiyaki
MSG #19 – Sydney Portugal Community Club Restaurant Marrickville
After talking about doing a planned tour of Sydney’s Community Club, we finally went to our second community club as one of the Midweek Supper Group outings (the Japanese Club, being the first and I still need to blog it!). Yewenyi suggested the Portuguese Community Club in Marrickville and that fit the bill of being… Continue reading MSG #19 – Sydney Portugal Community Club Restaurant Marrickville
Bonus MSG Supper – Mado Cafe
It’s a Saturday evening and I am running late for the bonus supper in Auburn, cursing the western bound traffic on Parramatta Road all the way until I reached Mado Cafe. Brian, K and KL were already waiting as I rushed in apologising before sinking into one of the booths against the side of the… Continue reading Bonus MSG Supper – Mado Cafe
Brokenwood lunch
Should I ever sit down one day and start writing my bucket list, somewhere on that list will be the line item “stomping grapes in a vineyard”. Happily thanks to a trip down to the Hunters on Sunday, I can now cross that hypothetical item. Late last year I joined Brokenwood’s wine club and one… Continue reading Brokenwood lunch
Spice I Am
With the plethora of amazing food blogs scattered around Sydney, sometimes I wonder whether the world needs another review on yet another Sydney restaurant. Particularly when sites like Not Quite Nigella, Chocolatesuze and Grab Your Fork are so well written with their own quirky personalities. Then ofcourse sites such as A Table for Two are… Continue reading Spice I Am
