Eating What's in Season...

Dish of the Week: Fettuccine with Asparagus, Broccoli and Smoked Speck

I always think it is good to eat what's in season, as you get to enjoy when it is at its best, most nutritional and affordable. Since it is spring in Australia asparagus and broccoli is in season, and I wanted to use these two vegetables in a dish that was subtle and easy to make, and where the vegetables were the centre pieces of the dish!

Ripples Cafe- The Perfect Place to Bring Visitors

Ripples - Milsons Point

A couple of years ago my auntie and mum were coming to Australia for a visit, and I was searching the internet for a nice place to have dinner along the Sydney harbour that didn't charge extortionate prizes. Luckily, some friends came to the rescue and recommended Ripples at Milsons Points. Situated next to Luna Park and under the Harbour Bridge it offers breathtaking views, and a truly a unique dining experience overlooking one of the most iconic buildings in the world, the Sydney Opera House. We have been there four times now, and the food, service and view continues to impress us and our visitors.

Greasy Food to Tempt your Taste Buds..

Dish of the Week: Homemade Sausage Rolls

Australians love sausage rolls, and my Aussie husband is no exception! It has taken a long time to for me to come around to the greatness of Sausage rolls, as I think the ones you get in shops and cafe's down here are too greasy (if there is ever such a thing!). But when they made a slightly 'healthier' version on Masterchef, I decided to give it a go, and there is no way back now! I guess 'Comfort Food' would be the best way of describing this dish, some may even claim that it cures hangovers....
