Sometimes you don’t have a lot of time to grab lunch and fast, tasty and ideally healthy are fairly key search criteria. Such was my mission recently and I found myself at Exchange Plaza, so I wandered into Urban Bowl. I hadn’t heard too much about Urban Bowl other than that they were dishing up […]

I loved everything about my visit to Mandoon Estate. The weather was perfect which just showcased what a sensational new venue it is. Then there was the service, which was incredibly friendly and also well versed as to any intricacies of the menu. The two wines we sampled – the Reserve Sparkling and the Reserve […]

I get a little overwhelmed in food courts on occasion. I usually arrive ridiculously hungry and desperate for a tasty lunch, but then I aimlessly drift from outlet to outlet trying to decide what to have. And more often than not I’ll just stick with what I know, the old favourites, but who knows what […]

This is another one that you could recently find on a recipe card in store at Belmont Forum but for those that didn’t get […]

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 94,000 times in 2014. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 4 days for that many people to see […]

Ahh Christmas Ham….. such wonderful stuff. Though there is always sooooo much of it! If you are still working through a large leg then why not whip up some of this tomato relish and have some ham and egg burgers for breakie! This is one of the recipes I recently did for Belmont Forum’s Twelve […]
