Read MoreOpen Haloumi Kebab
Dining at The Crosstown Eating House a few weeks ago, I had the joy of eating one of the most satisfying vegetarian dishes to date. Open Haloumi Kebab was the meal and from the very first mouthful I was in love. My foodie-love was so strong that sitting right there and then I planned to replicate the same Haloumi Kebab at home. First I needed the right bread; I opted for Greek Yiros. I always use Yiros when making Authentic Greek Kebabs so it seemed only right to stick with what I knew worked best. Yiros BBQ/grill’s really well and they have an almost denser feel – they’re stronger...

Hilton’s Executive Chef Dennis Leslie was the creator behind a Mexican feast I enjoyed back in Adelaide last year for EDB2012. When Dennis was asked why he chose a Mexican fiesta menu he simply replied ‘I just love Mexican food’. And don’t Dennis and the Mexicans have it so scrumptiously right!

The banquet style of a Mexican feast is not only entertaining but super fun too. If you’re having a large get-together, a Mexican feast is a great option...

Wanting to buy some local fresh fruit and veg, my girlfriend and I decided to get up bright and early and mission to the Boggo Road Markets. I had a delightful time chatting with the stall owners about the origin of their goods. Some (not all) of the stall owners were really passionate about their produce and didn’t hesitate in giving me detailed accounts of their origin. I purchased most of my produce from a stall owner who grows all his own organic fruit and veg, however needing a few extra vegetables I made my way to another stall which had a combination of Rocklea Market...

Asian noodle soups, wonton soups, clear soups you name it I love them all!
Asian chicken noodle soup is a standard weekly meal in my house, one because it’s so easy and two because I feel replenished and restored after eating it. Packed with the beautiful things in life: garlic, chilli, ginger and sesame oil, this broth makes your body scream out thank you! It’s the perfect soup to enjoy after a big weekend.
