Farm life with Hinterland Feijoas

June 23, 2020 By EatWellTravelOften 2 Comments

hand showing inside of a feijoa

Feijoas are as Kiwi as a meat pie and the All Blacks. The little green fruit are embedded in every New Zealander’s psyche. Every Autumn we get a little excited because for a few short weeks we get to indulge our tastebuds with a hit of our favourite, oh so delicious, fruit. (Aussies pronounce the fruit as FUH-Jo-ahs, Kiwis say FEE-Jo-ahs) For the 600,000 Kiwi’s in Australia it’s a bit harder to find feijoas. So, if you’re a Kiwi who doesn’t know about Hinterland Feijoas, read on! Up on … [Read more...]

5 reasons you’ll love the Paleo Camping Retreat

September 30, 2016 By EatWellTravelOften Leave a Comment

It’s not often you get to sit around a campfire talking about the benefits of bone broth, but that’s exactly what we did at the Paleo Camping Retreat last year. This awesome Paleo Camping weekend is run by Aimee and Clint from Primal Influence, and Dan the Aussie Paleo Chef. Different to your usual yoga-girls-with-green-smoothies retreat… it includes Paleo cooking demonstrations, slack lining and natural play, a bush tucker walk, star gazing, swimming in the creek, and the best soul-warming … [Read more...]

Maleny Dairies Farm Tour

February 8, 2016 By EatWellTravelOften 6 Comments

Maleny Dairies are known for their top quality milk products in this part of the world. So on my recent visit to Maleny their farm tour was top of my list. The scenic drive to the farm takes you through the beautiful rolling green hills of the Sunshine Coast hinterland. I visited on a Monday morning during the school holidays. I arrived a little early to see the cows being fed - the big brown beasties with beautiful eyes all jostled for pole position at the feeding trough. The children … [Read more...]

Maleny Real Food Festival

September 15, 2015 By EatWellTravelOften 7 Comments

The Real Food Festival gathers the best artisan food producers from around the Sunshine Coast to celebrate regional flavours and showcase local food – it makes for a great day out with the girls! My Eat Well Travel Often tour departed Brisbane a little after 8am with a vanload of hungry gals (we all skipped breakfast to make the most of our impending day of feasting). We got to sit back and relax while being chauffeur driven to Maleny. For me the best part of the festival was making new … [Read more...]

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...]
