Yuletide Pork dinner at Restaurant Atelier, Glebe
I’ll be honest and admit that I had not heard of what Yuletide was until this evening. I’m not sure where I failed in primary school and missed this piece of knowledge. Anyway, thanks to the wonderful Mel from Fooderati and Stewart from Whiteworks, a handful of bloggers had the opportunity to meet a few people in the Food industry as well as try the delights served by Darren Templeman at Restaurant Atelier.
BBQ’ing Wagyu beef
“Hey, do you wanna chip in on some top-grade wagyu beef? It’s from the same wholesalers as where Tetsuya gets his beef and I have to eat a whole kilo of it!”, squeals V. “hmmmm tempting”, I think to myself “but not tempting enough for me to eat meat!”. Yes I don’t eat meat… only seafood. I am a pescetarian. So please note, I am writing in a subjective way… recalling the joy and excitement as I watch my roommates V and Tom devouring the wagyu with such delight.
Soup Series: Etch Sweetcorn and Basil Veloute
With winter beating down our doors, what better time to highlight what is possibly my favourite meal ever. I really do love soups, all types of soups! I think half of it is the fact that soups are almost (almost I say) impossible to ruin and there’s nothing better than being home on a rainy day with a warm bowl of soup in your hands.
Cook, show and tell, Dinner for 6
Chogz and Nogz recently invited us over for a “home cooked” dinner, how could we say no to that ? What was suppose to be a dinner cooked by them, turned into a thee course meal with everyone involved. We all prepared a dish each before retiring on the coach for some Scene It on the Xbox 360. Not only did we spend 1/4 as much compared to if we ate out at a restaurant, we all had fun without breaking the bank.
Plan B, Becasse
Plan B is an offshoot of Becasse, a little hole in the wall café. On our visit, we arrive shortly before 12pm but it seems the lunch time rush has already hit. We were here for the wagyu burger, but it seemed everyone else was too.
Cook show & tell #1 – Spain
Last month, we decided to get the est crew together once a month and try our hand at cooking different types of cuisines. Our first attempt was a random brunch, which turned into a dinner … or a lunchinner. Atleast this month, we had a theme to stick to which was Spanish.
Sushi Dai, Tsukiji Fish Market (Japan)
Tsukiji Market is the Tokyo equivelent to the Sydney Fish Markets here in Sydney, though Tsukiji is actually the biggest seafood market in the world. Tourists flock here all year around, it might have something to do with a few tiny sushi restaurants which have massive queues. It is apparently one of the top places to have sushi and sashimi and judging by the queues we saw this might well be the case.
