Grace Est

April 12, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

photos by Damien Seidel* date of visit: Sunday 1 April 2012 It’s taken me a very long time to get to Grace, which I think is excusable since I live a reasonable distance from Norwood. So I know this review is about a year off being cutting edge … When I booked (for midday, on [...]

April 11, 2012 Competitions

Red Squirrel by Sergey Yeliseev Disclaimer: the nice squirrels at Cheeky Drop are providing Eating Adelaide with some Friday drinks of its own. You would imagine that Friday drinks are something of an institution but I bet many readers are out there who have never worked anywhere where Friday drinks are on the boss. There’s [...]

Chettinad Fried Chicken

April 5, 2012 Recipes

There is a restaurant review in the works but today I’m running short of time so here is an excellent chicken recipe that you might find useful over the long break. This is an Indian recipe (Chettinad is a region in Tamil Nadu, in southern India) but it’s a really welcome change to a big [...]

Corn and Spinach Muffins

April 2, 2012 Recipes

Personally, I am not really into savoury muffins at all. However, what I am very much into at the moment is food that is portable, self contained and freezer friendly. This means that, with minimal planning, I always have something I can feed to the Eating Machine (that’s the baby) at relatively short notice. So [...]

March 30, 2012 Recipes

When buying kitchen gadgets we generally adopt the approach of buying a cheap, entry level model first up to see if we actually use the toy, with the intention that if we hammer it and it breaks, we buy a better one and if we never use it we’ve not parted with two much cash. [...]

A Mother’s Milk

March 23, 2012 Cafe Reviews

    date of visit: Thursday 22 March 2012 A Mother’s Milk has been on my radar for a while (not that long as it did only open in January) but dragging myself out to Unley for a coffee has seemed like just a bit too much hard work. Certainly not the type of thing [...]

Coffee Ice Cream

March 19, 2012 Recipes

Of course, ice cream photographs badly … but I’m sure you get the idea! A seriously underused cookbook in my collection is The Silver Spoon. This is the Italian cooking bible and covers absolutely everything. If you want to cook it and it’s vaguely Italian … you should find it in The Silver Spoon. We [...]

Dumplings R Us

March 15, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Tuesday 13 March 2012 We ducked into Dumplings R Us for a quick (and extremely cheap) takeaway lunch. It sits on Rundle Street, near Brunelli and Red Rock Noodle bar, on the site of several ‘former’ venues. Before dumplings, it was a Japanese restaurant/café. The menu is very reminiscent of Dumpling King [...]
