St Ali's

Have you been to St Ali's for a kick-arse latte? My favourite breakfast option is the Mexican Cousin, and coming close behind it is The Hangover Cure. I mean, who doesn't love popping their poached egg on to a bed of salad, haloumi and corn fritters??







I know I've been MIA lately, but so much has happened! There are so many exciting things happening in the coming months, I can not tell you how excited I am! Everything from learning how to wash my car, French lessons, books and art to immerse myself in, a trip overseas to plan..just to name a few!

Where is your favourite magical location in Victoria?




Feels a bit like 'Postcards' at the moment. Haha!

We love Richmond Hill Cafe and Larder!

I am a huge fan of Stephanie Alexander's The Cook's Companion, a terrific alphabetical guide to ingredients and cooking for clueless people like me. Each ingredient has information about its various types; how to store, select, prepare it; recipes and quick cooking ideas. It's interesting to read (I get bored very easily particularly when there are not many pictures), easy to understand, but not too simplistic. What's especially appealing about the books is Stephanie's passion for fine Australian produce.

Although she no longer owns Richmond Hill, the new owners (previously long-time staff members of hers) have endeavoured to maintain that philosophy. Richmond Hill invokes that warm, glowing feeling inside that I think good food should always invoke. Simple, earthy, warm, inviting, and quality.
