142 Addison Rd Marrickville, Sundays… Another blissful Sunday morning at the Marrickville organic markets. Coffee first, to aid important decision making. The best coffee I’ve tried at the markets so far is from the building on your right as you enter the market from Addison Rd. Note the installation art on the side wall of… Continue reading Marrickville Markets
This is not a comprehensive list, just the start of a list of the best places to get a good coffee in Darwin. The criteria? The coffee should be full of flavour, the milk silky and not burnt. That screeching sound? It sounds bad for a reason. If you can scoop your milk into a… Continue reading Where to get great coffee in Darwin
As soon as the balmy sea air at Mindil Beach hit my face, I relaxed. Sustained by treats from the stalls at the Mindil Markets, there was too much to choose from; Indonesian, Thai, Malaysian, and Roadkill stalls all competed for my attention. Do try the Ice Kachang dessert if you can find it. Enthralled… Continue reading Darwin Dreaming
Today Phee and I had brekky at Ducks Nuts. They have an espresso bar and a bar & grill. We ate at the bar & grill outside on the deck and watched the world go by. The coffee is excellent, with silky milk and good flavour. Phee had Eggs Benedict and I had French Toast.… Continue reading A nice breakfast in Darwin
There was a friendly little review in the Telgraph on Sunday: http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,,25631863-5009160,00.html I have been enjoying my Fridays lately, helping prepare some delicious food (if I do say so myself) at Ross Dobson’s Cafe at the Cafe at Lewers at the Lewer’s Bequest Gallery on the Nepean River in Emu Plains. If you are asking… Continue reading Cafe at Lewers
Last year I got given a Rancilio Silvia coffee machine for my birthday. I did a lot of research online and went shopping around for a while to find a good one but not quite something that you could trade in for a car. The Rancilio was a compromise, not quite the glossy beast with… Continue reading Miss Silvia
Sven Kammerzelts’ Caffetteria Karalis is the best place to get a coffee in Ulm, Germany. I may be biased, as my friend and tour guide is friendly with the owner, but there were very few places in Ulm that hit you with the smell of freshly ground coffee as you walked through the door. Sven’s… Continue reading Sven's Cafe
Thomas Walter and Malini Christine Ganesan celebrated their wedding in February this year at the delicious Sardinian restaurant Pilu at Freshwater in Sydney. I was lucky enough to be asked if I could make the cake… The layers are (from top to bottom) Fruit Cake 6″ Chocolate Buttermilk Cake 9″ Hazelnut Raspberry Cake 12″ All… Continue reading Wedding Cake
There is something to be said for a good quality jam in a jam donut. Not sickly sweet, just the right amount of tartness…could eat these more often. Dangerous words. Lucky they’re in Bern. Didn’t actually find a bad espresso in Switzerland. Also from a cafe in Bern. As you can see one can have… Continue reading Ich bin ein Berliner
It’s a gorgeous morning to be catching up with friends and a good coffee is all I want, with something tasty to eat a bonus. We are all happy to go to the usual place at the beach but one dissenter craves something new. You can’t say no to that so I look up the… Continue reading Bourke Street Bakery
