Spanakopita…A Greek classic I haven’t really ventured into much Greek food cooking on this blog. I constantly get asked about the title of my blog/website and how this relates to me. Well you can read a little about it here. I promise to provide a few more greek recipes as I go along. I also don’t want to keep this blog too one dimensional. But I digress… First off, let’s [...]

Spice I Am

My favourite Thai restaurant As you may have read previously, Thai food is an absolute favourite of mine. It’s a cuisine which manages to blend all senses of the food spectrum and make it succeed. Having been spoilt over the years with my many trips to Bangkok, I held a particular snobbery to Thai food here in Australia. I always found the local Aussie version of Thai food to be [...]

Banana pancakes drizzled with maple syrup I had the pleasure of staying overnight at a friends place yesterday. Facing the world after a double espresso, I contemplated making some pancakes for my kind hosts thanking them for their generous hospitality. While they were still catching 40 winks, I tinkered around the kitchen finding the ingredients needed for a semi luxurious breakfast. I hadn’t cooked pancakes in years and I really [...]

Using Leftovers Wisely

by Peter G September 20, 2007 Personal

Food bloggers are a unique bunch. Apart from writing about their passion for food, they have to actually cook something and then photograph the results to make it look edible. Sure you can type away on a keyboard as long as you like but generally with food blogging some kind of evidence, usually through pictures is required. We also tend to be ignored in a lot of blogging circles. Not [...]

Glamorous Biteclub setting I landed in Sydney and quickly made my way to the next Biteclub hosted by Mark, Maria and Sal. These guys always put on a fantastic spread. Just have a look here and you’ll see what I mean. As I walked into their cool digs, Mark was already being the perfect host and had everyone’s wine glass filled. Sal was busy making the last adjustments to the [...]

Smiling faces everywhere All this travelling has left me no time to post. I’m behind about 6 entries but I’ll get there. I recently had 12 hours transisting in Narita which is Tokyo’s airport hub. Not much time to venture into Tokyo itself (I was so bloody tired!) but enough time to take a few snaps and indulge in some food of course!! These lovely ladies posed for me as [...]

Continuing on from yesterday, I wanted to make this post about the food in Singapore. While there are numerous establishments serving everything from local to “mod” interpretations (you know those places…everything has some kind of “foam” in the dish) I’m going to let you in on where I eat when I’m staying in Singapore. Singapore truly has a huge selection of eateries. Too many. (Not that that’s a bad thing [...]

Singapore…Another perspective

Singapore Skyline A lot has been said about Singapore over the years. While many view it as a “stopover” on their way to Europe there is a whole lot more to this city/state than meets the eye. I have been a regular visitor here on and off for 15 years, namely for work. Initially I hated the place. I found there were too many rules for my rebellious nature. There [...]
