Zambrero

March 15, 2010 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit:  March 2010
The latest addition to Rundle Street, Adelaide is the very green Zambrero – the home of some very fresh, very fast Mexican food.
As I have the luxury of working around the corner I’ve been able to check out Zambrero not once, but twice.  On my first visit I opted for the [...]

Pecan Pie

March 9, 2010 Recipes

A long weekend BBQ, some uncharacteristic (for Adelaide) rain and a request for pecan pie …

BBQs I like.  They are an excuse to eat a lot of bread, meat and maybe dessert, and the whole salad thing is just an annoyance.  Having a BBQ at home is even better because I can make as much [...]

Tangritah Uyghur

February 18, 2010 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit:  December 2009
It was up to Andy to choose a venue for a Friday night dinner and, without hesitating, he knew he wanted to try out Tangritah Uyghur* on Grote Street.
This is a restaurant which is easy to miss – it is towards Morphett Street on the northern side of Grote, with a [...]

Chicken Schnitzel Parmagiana

February 12, 2010 Recipes

Nothing says ‘pub lunch’ (or ‘pub dinner’) like a schnitzel.  The whole time I was in the UK I tried to explain the idea of a ‘parmi’ and failed miserably.
It’s also a dish which is ridiculously easy to put together at home.  Invariably you can produce something tastier, not to mention healthier, than that for [...]

Bolognese Sauce

February 11, 2010 Recipes

I’m feeling brave … after all, a bolognese sauce is one of those things that everyone makes, everyone knows how to make and everyone has an opinion on how it should be made.
In Bologna, the home of the Bolognese sauce, it is called a ragù and the ‘Bolognese’ comes from the sauce’s French name, sauce [...]

Easy Lamb Chops

January 13, 2010 Recipes

Well, that’s not really true, is it? Because ‘easy lamb chops’ are ones that you just fry up in a pan with a slick of oil.
But sometimes you might want to do something a bit different, a bit interesting, or you might have something you want to use up.
In this instance, I had some [...]

Berry Trifle

January 11, 2010 Recipes

December’s Australian Gourmet Traveller (AGT) featured a stunning dark berry trifle on its cover which was also the month’s Perfect Match recipe.
Trifle is one of those dishes where everyone has a recipe and that recipe is the ‘definitive’ recipe.  So no doubt there will be some complainers that some aspect of this version is wrong [...]

Cupcake Camp Adelaide on Palate Press

January 9, 2010 Uncategorized

With life getting more organised you should see an increase in activity on Eating Adelaide in 2010.  Coming up I’ve got recipes for trifle and tiramisu which are both great hot weather desserts since you can make them in advance and serve straight from the fridge.  Perfect, if, like me, you are sweltering away in [...]

How to open Champagne

December 13, 2009 howto

This is a bit of a cheat’s post, as the video below I made a year ago and first posted on my old site, Eating Leeds.  However, I think it’s appropriate that, as we head in to Christmas and New Year, we have a bit of a reminder about how to open the bubbles on [...]

Farina

December 2, 2009 Restaurant Reviews

FARINA IS CLOSED.  THERE ARE RUMOURS IT IS MOVING TO NEW PREMISES …
date of visit:  25 Nov 2009
Adelaide has no shortage of pizza and pasta places … cafés line Rundle Street and menus merge in to one another.  It’s such a shame because Italy offers such a wide range of variations on the pizza and [...]
