I was so excited when I first discovered MakMak. It felt like I had just stumbled across the source that was supplying to a secret society of macaron connoisseurs. The macaron craze has been going on for quite some years... Continue reading MakMak Macarons »

Formerly at Balmain, Victoire boulangerie / pâtisserie moved down the street to Rozelle late last year. This was good news for me as it meant I was now only minutes away from eye candy! The sweet scent of freshly baked... Continue reading Victoire »

There's so much to love about this relatively new addition to Glebe - the stunning Provençal decor, the aroma of just baked goodies, the baskets and wooden shelves of breads and rustic baguettes and the stunning display of delectable tarts,... Continue reading La Banette Patisserie Boulangerie »

There's only so much you can fit into a weekend getaway, and thankfully Red Neds Gourmet Pie Bar made it onto our itinerary! I first read about Red Neds at Citrus and Candy, and it has since been on my... Continue reading Red Neds Gourmet Pie Bar »

They say you should never stop learning and growing, whether it is upgrading your skill at work or picking up new knowledge for a hobby. When Brasserie Bread invited me to attend their Home Baker workshop, I was thrilled I'd... Continue reading Home Baker Workshop at Brasserie Bread »

Last Monday would have been just another girly catch-up dinner at CeCi in Strathfield had I not discovered Hello Happy (to which I squealed with excitement). As you may have noticed, I'm a regular at Strathfield. With a growing South-Korean,... Continue reading Hello Happy, Strathfield »

I'm a big fan of Time Out. I would never visit a city without first consulting the local Time Out guide. Time Out Sydney's Food Awards 09 winners were announced this week, so let's see who made the cut: People's... Continue reading The best of Sydney, according to Time Out »

The huge display here offers more varieties of baklava than you can imagine. Continue reading Auburn Baladna Pastry »

Every time I'm in the Broadway area, which isn't often... I cannot resist stepping into Bourke Street Bakery. Yesterday was no different. However, I think I ate the bad batch. Is there really such a thing, you ask? Continue reading ginger and pistachio brulee tart »
