Purrs and paws at Brisbane’s cat café

May 30, 2016 By EatWellTravelOften 5 Comments

The Cat Cuddle Café in Red Hill is a place where the term ‘Crazy Cat Lady’ is a badge of honour. The purrfect space for cat lovers the cafe is run by dedicated volunteers who are making a difference in many-a-moggie’s life. As someone who travels a fair bit it means I’m not the best candidate for owning a cat or dog. But my recent visit to the Cat Cuddle Café meant I got to hang with some feline friends. I have to admit I was a little curious… what exactly is a cat café? Who goes there? … [Read more...]

South Bank Dessert Walking Tour

July 4, 2015 By EatWellTravelOften 1 Comment

**Warning: If you’ve Quit Sugar then stop reading now. This blog post may be way too much temptation. I’ve just done the South Bank Dessert Walking Tour – and it was a ridiculously fun way to spend a Saturday morning (even if I now have sugar burn to rival Willy Wonka!). Karen, our Tour Leader and a fellow foodie, started our tour with a history of desserts. The first apple pie recipe dates from 1381. And in 1740 they made the first cupcake! That Aussie icon the Lamington was created … [Read more...]

How does traditional Italian #pizza cooked for you How does traditional Italian #pizza cooked for you in your own backyard sound?!

We meet expert pizza maker Flavio at the birthday party for @goldcoastfoodandwines last night. 

Flavio set up his 2 mobile pizza ovens and stoked them up with wood, ready to take our orders.  His delicious pizza is cooked in just 90 seconds in the blisteringly hot ovens. 

I love a bit of theatre with dinner... his hand kneaded dough is tossed in the air and stretched, then layered with alllll the tasty things... ham, mozzarella, mushrooms, truffle oil and fresh basil. 

The pizzas were delicious and disappeared as fast as Flavio could make them. This is a seriously fun way to cater for events guys!

A cracking morning on the #GoldCoast. So lucky to A cracking morning on the #GoldCoast. So lucky to live here! Off on an early morning adventure! Boy I miss being on the water 💙 #witaustralia
Went to a fabulous long lunch today, hosted by @qt Went to a fabulous long lunch today, hosted by @qtgoldcoast and showcasing produce from @tommerupsdairyfarm from the #ScenicRim. The chef-prepared meal was a paddock to plate feast that started with pea and ham soup, smoked ham hock terrine and goats cheese tart. Damper rolls served with a slab of delicious cultured butter. Pork 3 ways with crunchy duck fat potatos. Finishing with Creme fraiche mousse, lemon curd and fresh berries.
Kay and Dave from Tommerups dinned with guests at the long table, sharing stories about their farm and produce between courses. Afterwards their produce was available for purchase and I went home with a full and happy belly and cultured butter, bacon and yoghurt with bush honey. I cant think of many better ways to spend a Sunday! There are more long lunches planned at QT so if this sounds a bit of you stay tuned for new events.
