It is no secret that I have a penchant for baby animals. I mean they are cute and cuddly and sweet and well, what’s not to like? It’s not that I needed and excuse really, but I managed to find one, as a reason to visit Maleny Dairies. I have been here once or twice [...]
I recently had the joy of visiting Fortune Red Label Beef at Yandina. I am a big fan of grass fed beef as opposed to grain fed beef. I think it is a far superior meat in both texture and flavour and not to mention a far more ethically raised meat. I like to be [...]
I recently had the opportunity to visit a number of producers while working on a project. It is always so much fun when visiting these producers. It always reminds me of my childhood growing up on the farm. This was especially the case when I visited Obi Obi Essentials, who are based in the Obi [...]
In my goal to climb all of the Glass House Mountains this year, Wild Horse Mountain was the next to be conquered… well, ok, it can hardly be called ‘conquering’, and if you want to get technical, I wouldn’t really call it a climb either. Rather, it is a pleasant stroll up a slight incline. [...]
I love markets days in Eumundi, but I have discovered that I also like non-markets days, especially when it comes to lunching. The Fig Tree is right amongst it all so I can imagine market days would be quite frenetic, but on this day, basking in that little bit of sunlight that shone onto the [...]
The curing process has always been something that has intrigued me. Once upon a time it was a method of preserving food in the absence of refrigeration, and while it still very much a preservation technique, it has morphed into more of a novelty factor rather than a necessity. So, novelty factor fresh in my [...]
Wow, what a surprise this Coffee Bean and Vodka Cured Hiramasa Kingfish turned out to be. I think this is my favourite recipe ever (until next time). It is incredible, even if I do say so myself. Coffee is not my first choice ingredient for curing, but the risk paid off, and the result was [...]
I was in possession of a beautiful whole Hiramasa Kingfish, I felt compelled to do something special and while there is nothing quite like sashimi, I decided the next best thing would be curing. I have always been a fan of cured fish, and the process is actually quite fun. This recipe is not only [...]
I found myself running a few errands in Noosa the other day… around lunchtime. A girl has got to eat, but choosing a venue is no easy feat, are there are so many wonderful establishments in Noosa/Noosaville. So I decided to revisit a favourite – Thomas Corner Eatery on Thomas Street in Noosaville. I am [...]
O.K. I have officially found my favourite… Glass House Mountain that is. Well, actually, not quite true. Mt Beerwah is actually my favourite, but we are not allowed to climb that one at the moment so, no point writing about it (I climbed it about 10 years ago). So, that clarified, Mt Ngungun is my [...]
