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
Take me to any new country and you can safely bet I’ll seek out Italian food. After a few days of eating highly prized local cuisine I’m usually hankering for antipasti, pasta and pizza. Not because I’m Italian or have lived in Italy but because it’s the food I most enjoy when eating out. So … Continue reading
“The main meal of the day, taken around midday or in the evening. A formal meal, typically in honour of a person or event.” These intrigue building words greet guests as they enter the long dark corridor that separates the Crown Towers hotel from Dinner by Heston Blumenthal.

RESTAURANT CLOSED DOWN When it comes to dining out I’m a creature of habit. I have a handful of favourite restaurants, most of which are local. I happily go back time and time again, even when I know what I’m going to order before arriving. At the same time my love of Italian and Indian … Continue reading

But, when it comes to the region’s food, I seem to always be tempted by lazy long lunches at just a handful of my favourite places, like Muse Kitchen (a stunning spot … Continue reading
Whenever I think about a trip to the Hunter Valley I get as excited about the food as the wine. The wineries are known globally for their iconic Semillon, and the region has Shiraz vines over 100 years old. At the same time foodies are very well catered for – with talented Hunter Valley chefs … Continue reading
When it comes to new cafes, bars and restaurants Sydney is a food city of two halves. South of the Harbour Bridge there’s a constant explosion of places to eat and drink.
