Sunspace Cafe

December 7, 2014 By EatWellTravelOften 5 Comments

Sunspace Café is the best kept secret on the Sunshine Coast If you’re heading to the Sunshine Coast any time soon I recommend taking some time out to visit Sunspace, a joyous little café I discovered last time I was in town. Recommended by a local, it is located in a fantastic old building that was formerly a German restaurant. The setting is beautiful, with lots of room both inside and out, a beautiful garden and plenty of grass for kids to run around. Serving vegetarian, … [Read more...]

Ginger and spice

February 10, 2014 By EatWellTravelOften 2 Comments

This weekend I decided to tick a few things off my list with a visit to the Sunshine Coast. If you are a foodie like me, then I recommend a visit to these two places: Red Hot Chilli Pepper, Caloundra I discovered Vicki Taylor and her amazing spices late last year, and was so taken with her amazing cinnamon that I gave packets to my friends and family for Christmas. I decided my trip to the Sunny Coast was going to include a stop at Caloundra so I could check out Vicki’s spice shop – Red … [Read more...]

Flyin’ Fox ice blox – yummy!

February 6, 2014 By EatWellTravelOften Leave a Comment

Ice blocks. They take me back to childhood, and are hard to beat on a hot summers day, no matter what your age. The other day I met the inspiring woman behind the organic ice block brand Flying Fox Benna and her husband John launched their ice blocks back in 2009. Originally from the UK, they were in awe of the top quality fruit available here in Australia and identified a gap in the market for a range of quality ice blocks. Patience and determination lead to their success (the … [Read more...]

Why I’m doing a 3 day juice fast

December 15, 2013 By EatWellTravelOften 2 Comments

In the midst of silly season, when everyone is eating way too many Christmas mince pies and dealing with fuzzyhead hangovers, I have embarked on my first ever juice fast. Why you ask? Well, there are several reasons: I’m curious to see how my body responds to fasting I currently have the time and the inclination I feel like I need to rejuvenate/detox I’m half way through my fast and happy to report that all is going well. Maybe I feel a bit low on energy, but I guess that’s to be … [Read more...]

Tania Hubbard’s wicked Gluten free bread

November 16, 2013 By EatWellTravelOften 2 Comments

Last Wednesday I went to a workshop by the lovely Tania Hubbard, an inspiring Sunshine Coast woman who has spent the last 12 years managing her health with the help of a grain free diet. From a young age Tania was plagued with health problems, including migraines, chronic fatigue and repeated bouts of pneumonia. It wasn’t until 2013 that she finally discovered the root of her problem was an intolerance to lectin, a protein found in grains. (Read more about lectin here) Ever since then … [Read more...]

How to make delicious almond milk (in only 5 mins)

October 24, 2013 By EatWellTravelOften 1 Comment

Over the last 12 months I have tried to reduce the amount of dairy I eat after discovering it has an inflammatory effect on the body. I use nut milk as a substitute (not a fan of soy milk). Almond milk is my 'go to' nut milk and I like to have it in the fridge to use in my smoothies and on my homemade granola (it’s not quite right in my morning cuppa though!). It’s super easy to make your own nut milk and waaaay better than buying the tetrapak stuff from the shops, which often have added … [Read more...]

Great chai in Ubud, and coffee

August 2, 2013 By EatWellTravelOften Leave a Comment

I love a good cup of chai, but in my experience a good cup of chai is really hard to find. Yesterday I unexpectedly stumbled across my best chai ever at a hip coffee shop here in Ubud called Seniman. Now, I’m not a coffee drinker, so I hadn’t stopped by Seniman for the coffee. No, I had actually stopped by for their porridge! Yes, they do a great big bowl of steaming hot porridge with coconut milk and strawberries, and given that my tonsils are the size of golf balls at the moment I had made … [Read more...]

Here's one for your sweet tooth - marshmallow gyoz Here's one for your sweet tooth - marshmallow gyoza! Yep, these are brand new on the menu at @harajukugyoza !! They came about when the #harajukugyoza team were kicking around new ideas during the covid lockdown... ( I think I should change career and work in food development... #tastingdepartment 😁). I'm a big marshmallow fan, used to make it when I was a kid. Love the Kiwi Pinky bars and the marshmallow Easter eggs... until now there was a serious #marshmallow deficiency here in Oz! Crunch one of these crispy gyozas and let the melted goodness oooze... remember to dip in the nutella sauce first!! They will leave you wanting s'more!!

Just ordered this fabulous little #Easter box of g Just ordered this fabulous little #Easter box of goodies from the lovely gals at @twenty8delights. The box comes with mango coconut dome, Easter chocolate cupcake, choc choux cross bun, lemon macaron and the awesome looking passionfruit #meringue tart that looks like an egg! So clever and a really fun change from chocolate and hot cross buns this year. Nice to support a new local business. Still time to order yours!! 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇 #eastergoodies #eastertreats #bakedgoodsdaily #twenty8delights

Spent a wonderful day at a writers workshop by #Kr Spent a wonderful day at a writers workshop by #KristinaOlsson, award winning Australian writer, journalist and teacher. The topic was 'writing your memoir' and Kristina shared her poignant experience writing her own memoir, the book Boy, Lost.
The workshop was held outside under some huge fig trees in the beautiful grounds of the historic and very grand homestead #JimbourHouse.The #WordsOutWest #writersfestival has been awesome.... I'm thinking it would be great to organise a mini van to bring a bunch of gals out to enjoy it next year. Even if you dont consider yourself a writer I guarantee you will enjoy the inspiring stories. DM me if youd be interested for next year!
