I love a good roadtrip, and a visit to Bunya Red Farm near Kingaroy was the perfect incentive. Having discovered Bunya Red Farm’s fabulous capers and caperberries, some time ago, I was keen to find out more about their production and discover more about Mandy Evan’s journey of innovation that led her to farm capers [...]
I often say, I love all of my producers, and I do. And I know I shouldn’t have favourites, but when it comes to Mighty Bean Tempeh, and the two absolutely beautiful souls behind it, Julie and Michael Joyce, I can’t help it… they are one of my favourite producers and have been for over [...]
Our Farm to Your Plate is a pastured beef producer based at Gunalda, north of Gympie. They are relatively new to the direct beef sales industry, though not at all new to the lifestyle and hard work to make it all happen, producing quality pastured beef that has been grass fed, grass finished and which [...]
I recently visited the home of my favourite Sunshine Coast honey producer, Hum Honey. Lovely Leisa Sams and her husband Tony, are based in Peachester, a very pretty part of the Sunshine Coast. High on the range, you are surrounded by many wonderful vantage points on their property, one in particular, overlooking the magical Glasshouse [...]
Visiting Sunshine Coast beef producer Maleny Black Angus Beef in the beautiful Sunshine Coast Hinterland… There is nothing quite like the taste of grass fed beef. The only problem is, what is often passed off as grass fed, isn’t really, and the point of difference to observe here, is that what you really should be [...]
Whangaroa is the heart of Northland, the northern part of the North Island of New Zealand. It is the more remote and the lesser known, but equally beautiful harbour, north of the Bay of Islands. What is also beautiful, is the people – they don’t come much more beautiful, than from these parts. A genuine [...]
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 [...]
I love Japanese food. There. I have said it. In fact, I love most things about Japanese cuisine, culture and arts. I think it is the attention to detail, and the simplistic extravagance that comes with most Japanese arts. Whether it is a tea ceremony, or the precision with which sashimi is sliced, or even [...]
Tasmania is a treasure trove of so many wonderful things, especially in the way of producers. Innovation is key and Tasmanians take pride in innovation often looking to climates of countries similar to their own for crops that have similar synergies, resulting in some fabulous experimental crops. One such crop, being pioneered by Shima Wasabi, [...]
There are lots of great food tours on the Sunshine Coast, all of them offering something unique, but I don’t know that there is anything quite as unique as Live It Tour’s Camels and Canapés Experience. I recently joined Live It Tours on their most recent tour to do some behind the scenes photography when [...]
