As I walking home the other day, I noticed a mini food market being set up at a nearby park, just around the corner from my place.  I was curious to see what it was all about and had a good “sticky beak” around.  They were selling fresh produce from a nearby farm and whilst the goods were not certified as organic, the gentlemen doing all the talking explained that [...]

Don’t be confused by the title of this post.  It’s the name of a new cafe I’m showcasing, in a bid to get to know a few more of the local cafes in the inner Sydney area.  Reviews aren’t really my thing but I thought I would try something a little different for my blog.  Do tell me if you enjoy these posts.  (or even if you don’t).  Plus it [...]

Ever since I saw Laurie’s version of pastitsio with greens I had it bookmarked, waiting for the perfect opportunity to recreate it.  Well, the opportunity arose this month with the announcement of Anotnio Tahan’s “A Taste Of The Mediterranean” event.  This event which is co-hosted by Peter from Kalofagas encourages bloggers to make a twist on the original pastitsio dish.  I have written about pastitsio in the past.  And I’ll [...]
