date of visit: Friday 11 May 2012 I’ve been to The Little Leaf and Bean (LLB) once before when, if I recall correctly, I had a coffee and a very good slice of a chocolate and vanilla cream cake. I also knew it was child friendly, so when it came to organising a play date [...]

Spiced Cauliflower

May 16, 2012 Recipes

My newest cookbook is The Hairy Bikers’ Best-Loved Recipes. I’ve read through it (yes, I do do that) a couple of times and noted lots of recipes I’m keen to try. The cooler weather in Adelaide has meant we’ve started thinking about stews, so later in the week you will be able to read all [...]

May 14, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

date of day out: Saturday 5 May 2012 A group of friends recently organised a day out wine tasting in the Adelaide Hills. We had a reasonably modest agenda for the day – lunch and three, maybe four, wineries. For me, the day proper began at lunch time. Our original food plan was scuppered so, [...]

Bracegirdle’s Glenelg

May 10, 2012 Cafe Reviews

    date of visit: Thursday 3 May 2012 Part of me feels like perhaps I shouldn’t write a review of Bracegirdle’s in Glenelg. It was a really rushed visit and that makes me worry that some of my comments will be based on an atypical experience. However, before I even got in the door [...]

May 6, 2012 Wines
