Vanessa: As many of our readers know, our Italian heritage and penchant for home cooked Italian meals by our grandparents mean that our benchmark may be slightly skewed when it comes to Italian food. None the less, our avid readers will also know that we are lovers of carbs and not ones to shy away […]
Bianca: And I’m back to regale you with more Texas tales. This time around we’re in Austin TX. Where slowed cooked ‘Barbeque’ is king. We jam-packed what we could in three days but hardly did any sight-seeing. I probably would have liked a longer stay to check out more of the natural sights but I’m […]
Vanessa: Every now and then I come across restaurants that conjure up feelings of nostalgia, of roads once travelled. This was true of our recent visit to Bistrot Gavroche that transported me back to time spent in Paris and the south of France. Located in the Kensington Street precinct of Chippendale, this classic French Bistro […]
Vanessa: Sydney’s popular waterfront dining district, King St Wharf, has welcomed a new kid on the block with the opening of the newly launched Casa Ristorante Italiano. Myself and fellow FFS bloggers, Bianca and Alex, were invited* to dine at Casa and sample the new menu which is packed full of traditional Italian dishes. This […]
Bianca: Buns, Baps, butties, cobs, rolls…whatever you call them. I’m across them. If there was ever a pinup for the humble bread roll surely it would be me! I eat bread and butter like there’s an incoming shortage and I’m pretty sure I’m slowly buying up the world’s stockpile of burger paraphernalia. It’s a curse […]
Vanessa: Waterfront dining on a Friday afternoon is nothing to be sniffed at, particularly when the location is the idyllic Berowra Waters Inn. Having been on the list to try for many years, we were delighted to accept an invitation to experience the venue and modern Australian menu the restaurant is well-known for. With a […]
Bianca: Celebrating a recent 30th, I thought I’d surprise the old ball and chain to a weekend away. Mostly everything in my life revolves around food but sometimes I like to slow things down and enjoy the quiet life. Step in Cedars Cottages Kangaroo Valley. Our perfect home away from home. But before we made our […]

Bianca: As we have gotten older, celebrating birthdays with a family meal out at a nice restaurant has taken precedence over a gift. Which has really fit in nicely with our never-ending mission to eat all of Sydney. Alex has had to endure quite a bit as the baby of the family, mainly from me […]

This one is long overdue. Eros in Sydney’s Potts Point offers typical Greek cuisine and transports you to Mykonos in the Mediterranean Sea, granted it was via the Westconnex 🙂 Situated in the old Crane Bar site, Eros has been beautifully fit-out with concrete booth seats and a neutral cream colour scheme. Joining me was […]
Alex: Nestled discretely off one of the main roads in Double Bay, Vine offers both a contemporary fine dining menu with a heavy influence on French culture as well as a bar menu that is perfect for a casual or quick-lunch. On this rainy Saturday arvo myself, Bianc and new friend and pocket rocket Joyce were brought […]
Bianca: An overdue catch up brought me to Norton Street, Leichhardt. I had a hankering for a really good burger and Bonarche Burgers fits that bill for me. Alas it wasn’t to be, a sign on the front door telling customers Bonarche wouldn’t be opening until after 2pm. It was 12pm and with Meat Free […]
