Minced: Reviewing Funky Fields New Plant-Based Mince

24th June 2018

Minced: Reviewing Funky Fields New Plant-Based Mince

In an Australian first, Woolworths is now selling Minced; a 100% plant-based vegan mince on the shelves beside the animal products. Funky Fields have created it using soy protein, wheat gluten, coconut oil, almonds, tomatoes and porcini mushrooms, and given it that distinctive red colour using beetroots. I was sceptical at first, but ...

Takeout Style Orange Not-Chicken

8th June 2018

Takeout Style Orange Not-Chicken

Back in the days when I used to visit America and subsist almost entirely on chicken tenders, I remember trying a sample of Panda Express orange chicken in a shopping mall. My tastebuds at the time would reject anything remotely natural (or green) and so, of course, I fell in love immediately with the neon orange, gooey sweetness. Despite no longer ...

5 Winter Warmers to Try ❄️

5 Winter Warmers to Try ❄️

It's been a long, long time since I did a round up of recipes I've tried/plan to try this month. The beginning of June marked the start of winter here in the Southern hemisphere, so I'm craving comforting, hearty foods; soups, bakes, stews and curries full of good-for-me veg. The colder months are definitely my favourite time to be in the kitchen ...

Byron Bay: A Four Day Getaway

Byron Bay: A Four Day Getaway

As the cold begins to creep in here in Melbourne, the draw of escaping somewhere tropical gets all the more enticing. Back in April, Olivia and I finally decided it was time to travel North and chase the sun. Byron Bay had been on my bucket list long before I arrived in Australia, so I couldn't wait to dust off my Birkenstocks and get myself to the ...

Reverence Hotel, Footscray

3rd September 2017

Reverence Hotel, Footscray

Although my exploration of the Western suburbs of Melbourne has been somewhat limited - I don't think I can count staring out of the window on my commute to the city for work - I am slowly discovering more and more hidden gems. The latest is Reverence Hotel in Footscray; a venue known for their live music and Mexican food, with a menu that can ...

KeepCup Review

18th August 2017

KeepCup Review

Every minute over one million disposable cups are discarded to landfill. Half of the plastic used in the world today is for single use disposable items. Most of the world’s paper supply, in fact about 71%, still comes from diminishing forests, not tree farms or the recycling bin.  KeepCups are everywhere at the moment and I've ...
