Bratwurst Burger
In its fifth year, and the 202nd anniversary of the original Oktoberfest in Munich, the Brisbane Oktoberfest is currently running and there are plenty of German festivities taking place around my city.
Sadly unable to attend this year’s fun Oktoberfest festivities of beer, sausage eating, singing and dancing, I thought I would bring a bit of Oktoberfest into my kitchen!

Deciding on a bush walk, I thought I’d have a bit of fun transforming the traditional lunch box into a gourmet lunch box on the go.

Read MoreAuthentic Greek Kebabs
“Food From Many Greek Kitchens” by Tessa Kiro’s is a beautiful cookbook filled with deliciously mesmerizing photos of Greek food, people, culture and landscapes. Always dreaming of a Greek Island holiday (who isn’t), I love how this cookbook whisks me off to this far away land without having to fork out the airfare.
