It’s funny how time seems to pass so quickly as you get older. With the start of 2017 I couldn’t believe how the last year had flown by. And then January disappeared in a flash. Speaking of time flying by, WordPress recently sent me a ”Happy 3rd Birthday” message. It reminded me how far Feast Wisely has come since early 2014. … Continue reading
It’s been almost a month since my last post – the longest break I’ve had from Feast Wisely since I started my blog three years ago. During this break I travelled to Malaysia to join my husband on a work trip, and then attended two conferences back home in Sydney. One conference was on corporate … Continue reading
Most major cities have a handful of tourist hotspots – those places every traveller has on their must see/do/photo list. In Sydney, my home for the last 10 years, the two most iconic draw cards are the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. A third, lesser known one, is The Rocks – a historic … Continue reading
Most tourists to Sydney make it to at least one of the city’s iconic stretches of sand and sea. At Bondi and Manly Beach they swim between the flags and snap selfies with postcard views.

Fans of Mediterranean food take notice when a local restaurant talks about how it embodies the Italian way of eating and sharing, with simple dishes that pay homage to the recipes of mothers and grandmothers.

When I heard about a new Italian providore in my neighbourhood I was excited. Excited by thoughts of fresh burrata, tiramisu by the slice, San Marzano tomatoes and more. When I discovered that said providore was a Mosman branch of Salt Meats Cheese, with an adjoining café and wine bar, I knew I’d be a … Continue reading
Check out any ‘top pizza in Sydney’ list and you’ll quickly see that Sydneysiders, like me, are spoiled for choice when it comes to authentic Italian pizza. I’m lucky enough to have a couple of go-to pizzerias, run by Italian families, on my doorstep. One is Fourth Village Providore in Mosman, the other Fratelli’s in … Continue reading
When it comes to feasting around Woolloomooloo ‘in-the-know’ locals venture beyond the fine dining restaurants along Woolloomooloo wharf. The wharf restaurants, with their sparkling harbour views, bring that ‘loving life in Sydney’ feeling, but it’s usually followed by a pretty hefty bill. Those looking for a taste of the real Woolloomooloo with good hearty food, … Continue reading
You only have to follow a handful of Sydney foodies on Instagram to see just how many restaurants and small bars are opening across the city. The amount of choice can be a little overwhelming at times, especially in emerging food hotspots such as the Inner West.
