A sense of routine is returning to Sydney. Stores are fully opened pegging their wares for Valentine’s Day, kids are returning to school and Biteclub is on again tonight.

EGGS…ELLENT

By Peter G • Jan 28th, 2007 • Category: Recipes

Aaaahh!!! The humble egg. The controversy that surrounds this food item is amazing. I like to think of it as the “Paris Hilton” of the food world. One week loved, another week vilified.

This is what greeted me the moment we arrived in Heidelberg. Rich, moist succulent cakes and dainty sweets and chocolates. Move over Willy Wonka!!

Hi again.
Today’s blog entry finds me in Europe. Frankfurt, Germany to be exact. I had to dash over with work for a few days and I thought I would catch up with my friend Nick while I was in town.
Now, before I continue, I must apologise in advance. My camera had issues and [...]



BEAUTY AND THE FEAST

By Peter G • Jan 16th, 2007 • Category: Bite Club

BiteClub was on again tonight and I could hardly wait to see what Michael and Tony were organising. Summer in Sydney is a fantastic time of the year. This year, its taken a while for it to get going. But finally, you can feel and smell it in the air!!! Some [...]
