Recipe: Macadamia and Rocket Dip

This recipe could be called a dip or a pesto as it works just as well as both – have it as part of a platter of crudites and cheeses or on top of a pasta and either way you’ll be laughing. It’s absolutely full of flavour but super simple to make. I used savoury yeast in mine to make it vegan but you could definitely use parmesan instead if you prefer – either work perfectly! The hardest part is decided how to eat it!

Recipe: Choc-Cranberry Oat Cookies

Since participating in the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop by making white chocolate and macadamia cookies I have been thinking about cookies a lot, so had to make some more! These are a little more on the healthy side but are still deliciously moreish and are perfect with a mid-morning cup of tea.

Exploring: Trailer Park Melbourne

After only recently getting on the food truck bandwagon with a (highly successful!) visit to Mr Burger I decided to embrace the food truck movement wholeheartedly with a Sunday afternoon visit to Trailer Park. Trailer Park describes itself as an outdoor food court, comprising of a selection of Melbourne’s food trucks every weekend.

Recipe: Rice Salad with Lemony Avocado

The beauty of this salad is in its simplicity, it really is just a huge variety of fresh veggies tossed through some brown rice and all tied together with some lemony avocado. Easy – definitely. Tasty – you bet! It’s the kind of salad I feel healthier after eating, there’s something about eating the rainbow that just feels right! And when it’s delicious and easy to throw together all the better!

Review: N2 Extreme Gelato

After hearing a lot about the new gelato joint on Brunswick Street – N2 Extreme Gelato – I decided I had to go check it out, so B and I headed up on a Saturday evening to see what all the fuss is about. N2 started in Sydney, and what makes them different is all the gelato is made on the spot using liquid nitrogen. The theory being that the liquid nitrogen causes the gelato to freeze faster resulting in creamier, smoother gelato. Plus, there’s also the spectacle of seeing liquid nitrogen!
