Agapé Organic Restaurant March Love Feast – Raw, Vegan and Gluten Free // Dine // Sydney

Organic, vegan and gluten free, easy peasy. I could happily eat like this for a good part of the week. When I visited the Agapé Organic Restaurant Sustainability Stand at Taste of Sydney this year, I was impressed by chef Simon Lawson’s creativity. Roasted Rosnay Figs with quark, pecorino, mozarella, apple balsamic, popped quinoa and basil was...

Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller Jeff Arnett Presents Tennessee Honey

In my ongoing mission to make The Screaming Artichoke a well-rounded, interesting way to wind down a Sunday evening, or ease in to work on a Monday, I have lately been in search of new and exciting things to cover.

Kitchen by Mike // Dine // Sydney

Kitchen by Mike // Dine // Sydney

A buffet, you say? By a former Rockpool chef, in a converted warehouse in Rosebery? Tell me more. It’s adjoined to a design depot, and they have wine?! I’m in. I couldn’t stop hearing of Mike McEnearney’s Kitchen by Mike, and finally made it one Sunday afternoon, having spent Saturday regretting Friday. Barely a more...

Food Styling & Photography Workshop with Billy Law

So after completing a couple of photography courses I have decided that my point and shoot isn’t going to cut it anymore. It does the job, but good isn’t great, and I want quality over quantity. Canon 5D Mark III here we come! In the meantime, I have made it my job to find out...
Bread and Circus Wholefoods Canteen // Dine // Sydney

Bread and Circus Wholefoods Canteen // Dine // Sydney

Bread and Circus’ About Us page says it all: “amazing tea, mostly organic and biodynamic food and sweet things and no coffee – not a single drop.” It’s kinda funny, since it’s hidden behind Don Campos, a Campos (coffee) owned and run venture which occupies the street frontage. The only two inhabitants in The Fountain...
