Thursday night was a pretty special night for Black Bunny Kitchen. It was their first Wild Food and Wild Beer 8 course degustation. Now, for those who missed out, I gave you plenty of warning, and you truly DID miss out! What a fabulous evening! I hung out in the kitchen for the evening with [...]
It is no secret, I love a good book. I love it even more when the book is celebrating locally produced food and the food heroes that produce it. Eat, Drink and be Straddie: Tales and Tastes from an Island in the Sun, does just that, but it goes that one step further by celebrating [...]
I think I have a new favourite… Altitude on Montville recently opened its doors and we dropped in for an awesome lunch visit. Located on the edge of Montville – on the way out, or on the way, depending from where you are coming – it sits proudly overlooking the magnificent Sunshine Coast Hinterland. The [...]
Oysters and wine? When there was a mention of visiting Bangor Wine and Oyster Shed in Dunalley, there was no need to think twice. It is no secret amongst family and friends, just how much I enjoy oysters, so our trip to Tasmania was pretty much one oyster experience after the other… there are no [...]
I love a good breakfast, but I am not really a bacon and eggs kind of girl. So I am never usually that excited about my first meal of the day… that is until I broke my fast at the Pigeon Hole Café. As a guest to the Hobart breaky scene, I did not discover [...]

A special occasion always has a certain expectation. These expectations are usually our own, but just the same, it can be a lot of pressure finding not only the perfect outfit but also the perfect shoes! First and foremost, the shoes need to look good. They need to match your outfit, and while I try [...]
I don’t pass through Cooroy often, but whenever I do, it is not without visiting Maison de Provence. If you have been to Maison de Provence, you will understand why, if not, well, you need organise a visit. Maison de Provence really is reminiscent of a traditional French patisserie. It is just beautiful. Pretty French-style [...]
Sometimes when you least expect it, you find a hidden treasure where you least expect it. We had a big day… we had climbed to the top of Mount Warning. We were tired, hungry and sore (ok, it was just me that was sore) – I wasn’t in the frame of mind for anything less [...]
When visiting The Farm Byron Bay, it is pretty much an obligation to take your time and spend the day there, especially if it is your first time. As part of that full day ritual, it is also a necessity to have breakfast, lunch or dinner at Three Blue Ducks, the onsite restaurant; depending on [...]
