[invite] Bianca: We instantly fell in love with the fit-out and decor at Dove at Dover cafe. I admit, most of the Eastern Suburbs is unchartered territory for me but step directly outside the cafe and you’re welcomed by a beautiful vista out across Sydney Harbour. They have recently undergone a complete refurb and it’s easy to […]
{invite} Bianca: So I’ll preface this little write-up with the fact I religiously watched the Great British Menu when Jason Atherton and Tom Kerridge were kicking around. Fast forward to early 2016 and Atherton opened his first Australian restaurant in Chippendale’s, Central Park. Kensington Street Social is a seamlessly cool restaurant. Floor to ceiling windows […]
Bianca: Wanting to experience the south but finding the prospect of doing it ourselves a little daunting we decided to finish our USA adventure with a Contiki tour. We were all a little apprehensive about doing an organised tour especially a contiki. Everybody’s pretty much across what happens during a Contiki sojourn, the ‘contiki cough’, […]
Bianca: It was burger o’clock in FFS world and when we can combine Alex’s favourite brunch(y) dishes with my go-to, burgers. It’s a win win. Bangbang has been popping up with some ridiculously good-looking burgers the last 6 months or so. And an extended invite had us popping down quick smart. We rocked up close […]
Vanessa: Lately I have found myself floored by the high standard of food and eateries in the suburbs. Cheat Day Sydney is no exception and, tucked away in a quiet street of suburban Peakhurst, I got the feeling that the locals are pretty impressed also. Just stepping foot inside Cheatday Sydney gives you an uplifiting […]
[invite] Bianca: I’ve long been a fan of Grandma’s Bakery since they opened their first Sydney store in 2013, their close proximity to the ‘bridesmaid hub’ White Runway meant I dropped in many times to pick up a box or two of cookies. As well as a lunch time pit stop at Grandma’s on the Farm in Collector (perfect […]
Bianca: Continuing our Melbourne exploration, we found ourselves at OTER. A contemporary French restaurant. The basic gist of the restaurants’ ethos, stripped back food in one of the most notorious laneways in Melbourne. Though defined as a French restaurant, I wouldn’t be quick to pigeonhole them into any one cuisine, as the menu is fairly experimentative. We began […]
Bianca: I always love exploring my own backyard (not literally, I live in an apartment….) and one of my favourite places to visit is The Blue Mountains. A multitude of overseas relo’s meant I spent most of my childhood dancing with death on the Scenic Railway. Having explored most of the traditional tourist attractions it’s […]

What’s more Australian on National Lamington Day than a Lamington Ice-cream cake? In conjunction with Susan Day Lamingtons, we created a Jaffa Lamington & Strawberry Ice-cream cake. Utilising Susan Day Lamingtons made for a rather quick and no fuss dessert. We made this mid-way through winter and still loved it but it’s very much a […]
[invite] Bianca: My exposure to Indian food has embarrassingly been the more typical Western staples. Butter chicken, tandoori chicken, rogan josh… And while these are unquestionably favourites for a reason, there was so much I was missing out on. Step in Lal Qila, a Pakistani restaurant specialising in Mughlai cuisine. Known for their spicy dishes […]
