Sydney – Part 3

My last day in Sydney was spent in the seafood heaven that is Sydney Fish Market

Sydney – Part 1

I was itching for a wee getaway, and when I was invited for a Camp America reunion in Sydney; I jumped at the chance!

Dinner in Botany Bay 

Instead of my usual restaurant hunting, I was invited over for a home cooked meal by Rita (my lovely Brazilian friend).  Her mum and her mum’s friend had come to Sydney for a visit, and had been feeding Rita and her husband delicious home cooked food since their arrival. I heard stories about all the…

My manager came into work one day and was unbelievably enthusiastic about the brunch she just had, so I of course had to check it out!  I didn’t want to go by myself so dragged Tash and Ben along.  We ventured just over an hour by bus to a place called Forest Lodge, where a…

The Perks of the Job

Working in a restaurant is a great opportunity to try lots of food and open yourself up to new flavours. As for my place of work, I get to try Hawaiian/Asian/Australian dishes.  Lunch came around and I decided to create a dish that encompassed everything I have learned so far. Here’s my recipe:  100g thinly…

The Pros and Cons of Travelling; as told by a Twenty Something

Travelling has always been in my blood; my parents met in Saudia Arabia, I always went on exotic holidays as a kid and my dreams always consisted of new destinations.  My first ‘real’ experience of travelling was when I was nineteen and I decided to travel to the USA to become a camp counsellor for…
