Amazing Restaurants: Le Pub

Posted on Sunday, June 2, 2013

1 June

Before seeing The Sounds of the South (feat. Justin Vernon from Bon Iver) as part of VIVID Sydney, I took my family out for a nice french dinner at Le Pub which is on the corner of York St and King St in the CBD.

This place is quite unassuming - it's underground and is a mixture of a restaurant and bar. The whole decor is a bit confusing and so is the music however, the food is something else.


Duck Pillet, Pork Parfait, Saucisson, Remoulade, Capsicum Dip and Cournichons


Snails in Garlic and Herb Butter


Collet D'agneau (lamb neck) - crumbed with quinoa and cauliflower puree


Pie au Boeuf Bourguignon

Posted on Tuesday, April 30, 2013

30 April

As part of the NSW Food & Wine Festival, I had the immense pleasure of heading to the Tea Room at the QVB to enjoy an amazing lunch.

Pan-friend Mulloway on black risotto (with crab)  plus pumpkin, capers, horse radish I DON'T EVEN KNOW. This was just melt in your mouth amazing


Passionfruit creme brulee - just, wow.


Tea was served so fancy! just look how pretty it is!

I've never been to a high tea, so I would be interested in doing so (after this damn 30 day shredding plan!!!)

Homecooked Heroes: Croque Madames

Posted on Wednesday, September 5, 2012

4 September 2012

 Rachel Khoo. This lady inspires me and makes me want to pack my bags and move to Paris every time I see her. She is a cook, tv presenter, writer and just all round fabulous in everything she does.

 Her show "The Little Paris Kitchen" is probably the best cooking show I've ever watched and I watch an episode every two weeks (and there are only six!) - I just keep on repeating and repeating. She's so beautiful and has inspired my fascination with red lipstick.

















This recipe is so simple it's ridiculous! And it tastes so great! I made these with Turkish Bread which was thicker than plain white bread but it was great because it was extra crispy on the outside but soft in the middle. You could easily eat 4 of these.

 I didn't limit myself to the prosciutto though (it was supposed to be ham). I also made ones with left over chicken too!





This time I used normal white bread - it was definitely a lot easier to fit into the muffin tin but i do prefer the turkish bread.

 I recommend you try it! Breakfast just got a little bit exciting.
