Occasional stories, food and travel inspiration
I'm feeling extra enthusiastic at the moment because I'm so glad to be on the mend after 3+ weeks of flu/cold. Speaking of feeling the love, here are eight things I want to share with you this month.
Hello! I'm back! I'm still not 100% but at least the tastebud-destroying throat lozenges and heart rate-accelerating cold tablets are finito. Thank goodness for that because there has been so many
Today we're on a mission to discover whether Goodlife Pizza is really the home of Adelaide's best pizza. 'Best of' titles are always controversial due to the subjective nature of the judging proces
It's a chilly Winter's day and I'm running late for a lunch date with my friend, Kerina. I'm not sure what happened but when you have small kids you can have two hours to get ready and still not mana
I'm sick with a virus so I'll keep this short but I wanted to share some good news with you. A couple of weeks ago I received an email from American Gourmet Magazine's blog, Gourmet Live, telling

Happy Birthday to The Hungry Australian! A year has flown by and I'm so happy to be here, blogging. I started The Hungry Australian on a whim a year ago with this post --Â Chinese Sausage OmeletteÂ
Don't you just love a good fountain? I've always liked the idea of having a fountain in my front yard. However, if I wanted a fountain like this one I think I'd have to move to a much bigger house
As mentioned in my last post, I am one of the organisers of Eat Drink Blog 3, the Australian Food & Drink Bloggers Conference, which will take place in Adelaide later this year. I attended Eat
I love winter food and fashion but could do without the chill factor. All I want to do is stay indoors with the heating on. No wonder there are so many books on my list this month, but first up there
The Fleurieu Peninsula is situated along the coast in South Australia, about an hour from Adelaide, the capital. It's a region renowned for its wineries, restaurants, seafood and gorgeous sceney. A
I've made honey ice cream before but frankly, it didn't rock my world. It was OK but there were no goosebumps, no sighs of utter bliss. So I was keen to to try it again, especially after meeting a nic
I want my children to know where food comes from. I want them to have a positive, interactive relationship with food. I want my children to eat seasonally, ethically and sustainably. I want t
I'm a Virgo - as if you couldn't tell - so I love making lists. Here's my (inaugural) monthly list of things, foods, events and experiences that I'm loving this month. 1)Â Tasting Australia
When I started The Hungry Australian last June, I had few expectations other than getting in the habit of writing again and easing my way back into the workforce after an extended maternity break.
It's good to be back. Regular readers will know that I've been blogging only occasionally lately, rather than my usual 2-3 posts a week. I had been unwittingly hijacked by a number of work projec
I've visited the lovely island country of Singapore at least a half dozen times over the years and have always considered it to be a foodie's paradise. After all, Singapore boasts a wonderful mix of
There's something about a layered dessert that speaks of thoughtfulness. It's an indication that someone's made an effort to make you feel special. There are so many different layered desserts, to
Where has the Australian summer gone? It's been raining steading all day. The air is chilly and an unfriendly wind is tormenting all the trees in the garden, blowing them from side to side without
If you're a new, emerging or aspiring food blogger, you'll have lots of questions that need answers. I know because I am an emerging food blogger myself. I started The Hungry Australian in June 201
Last November I was lucky to attend the second Australian Food Bloggers Conference in Sydney - see my write up here. This invite-only event was a fantastic way to glean blogging tips and advice from
I don't believe in love at first sight. Lust at first sight? Certainly. But love at first sight? No. How can you fall in love with someone from across the room? Â You may think he or she is a
For The Hungry Australian's first guest post, I'm delighted to hand the reigns over to JJ from 84th & 3rd. I knew JJ's delightful blog before I met her in person at Eat Drink Blog, the second A
One of the wonderful things I love about food blogging is that you meet all kinds of people who are mad about food: chefs, producers, restauranteurs, home cooks, people who love to eat out, people wh
I love watching people cook. People always do things differently to me, in ways I had never considered. So I always learn about something new - a new ingredient, a new technique, a new cooking sty
Eating healthier is something I'm always keen on. I don't mean eating less fat because I don't believe in diets - dieting is like having no sex or no money. When I'm on a diet the only thing I think a
I'm a big fan of acclaimed Australian/Sri-Lankan cookbook author, Charmaine Solomon. The woman can really cook. And she can write, too, having trained as a journalist many moons ago. To date, she's
I'm secretly day-dreaming about moving my family to the Barossa Valley, Australia's most famous wine region. If we were living in the Barossa Valley we would enjoy single lane traffic, tree-lined s
Designed to showcase the skill of the Chef and the kitchen, the degustation menu is as much about showmanship and spectacle as it is about the creativity of the Chef and the quality of the food. It's
