porteno, surry hills
They say that good things come to those who wait so given our 6.45pm arrival, and the unavailability of a table until 9.30pm we are expecting something pretty spectacular from Porteno this evening. You would think that after operating for over two years now that the shine would have come off this Argentinian restaurant with…

reuben hills, surry hills
I have this thing about breakfast. I will only eat anything of a bacon and eggs orientation before 12pm. I’m not down with all day breakfasts and as soon as the clock strikes midday my appetite shifts immediately to non-breakfast options. Similarly non-breakfast items (apart from perhaps Pho and Yum Cha) have no business being…

ms.Gs, potts point
Couple of things that you need to know if it happens to be your first time heading to MsGs. The joint is loud, like screaming at your dining companions loud. On this point the DJ sets the tone of the room so don’t be surprised when mid mouthful Snoop Dog invites you to ‘drop it…

sydney fish markets, pyrmont
Though my local fish monger up the road does a perfectly good job there’s nothing like heading to the fish markets. The abundance of seafood all glistening, glorious and fresh is such a luxury to have on our doorstep. A visit to the markets makes me want to institute Seafood Sunday to force myself to…

the bourbon, potts point
For those calculating at home Kings Cross’ Bourbon and Beefsteak has been closed for almost three years following its closure in July 2010 due to water damage. The once Darlinghurst-strip staple has been a sad little structure all barricaded up, shut down and silent. Well, as of this month the doors have swung back open…

bourke street bakery, potts point
I haven’t bought a loaf of bread from anywhere but Bourke Street Bakery for nearly five years. The crusty, chewy sourdough is so consistently good that it has spoiled me for all other baked goods. The terrific thing about a beautiful loaf of bread is how little you have to do with it. A slick…

morning!
So I’m a morning person. Whether it’s the holidays, the weekend, wherever I am in the world, my body clock is tuned to wake up at 6am. I suspect I never learnt to self settle as a baby – so let’s blame my parents on this one. The downside is the rest of the world…

food groupie
I’ve never really followed bands as a teenager, in fact I remember quite distinctly not wishing to cover my school books in a particular band or artist because I was sure it would no longer be my favourite by year’s end. Fickle.

paperplanes, bondi beach
I feel like I’m in a nightclub. Not a nightclub when the ‘joint is jumpin’ a night club at 5am when you’ve stayed too long, the lights are back on and you’ve come back to find your earring. What I’m trying to say is, being at PaperPlanes for dinner is like being in a night…

syrian chicken, karen martini
My first celebrity test kitchen is of a recipe by my absolute favourite celebrity chef – Karen Martini. Her cookbook style couldn’t sit more squarely in my preferred form of entertaining. Lots of generous, flavour-packed recipes made for sharing for both every day and special occasions.
