Butter Bean and Peanut Butter Burgers with Eggplant, Rocket and Pumpkin Salad

Butter Bean and Peanut Butter Burgers with Eggplant, Rocket and Pumpkin Salad

Few things are better than a burger, and having been a vegetarian since the age of 8, I have not once looked at a meat hamburger and thought I’d rather that to my portobello mushroom or veggie pattie. Having said that, few places in Sydney do it well, if at all, and it’s tough to...
Watts on Crown // Dine // Sydney

Watts on Crown // Dine // Sydney

Another day another dollar, earnt and spent in Surry Hills. Sometimes it seems like a vicious cycle, working for the man by day and drowning it out with vino and laughter by night. Ok, so maybe that’s a little dramatic. I love my job, I won’t lie, and it’s definitely more a case of living...

Food Society // Dine // Sydney

Sydney is a small pond. We may be known for our multicultural society and easy-going attitude towards life, but when it comes to creativity, I often think there aren’t enough of us, getting bored enough, to really force us to think outside the square.

RIP Murray Rose – Australian Olympic Gold Medalist and Vegan

Today, Australia mourns the loss of Olympic Gold Medalist and long-distance swimming champion, Murray Rose. Nicknamed the “Seaweed Streak” in 1956 after winning 3 gold medals in Melbourne, Rose was known for his achievements both in and out of the pool. His vegan diet, a controversial choice (especially for the time), was, according to him,...
Vegetarian Seder for Pesach

Vegetarian Seder for Pesach

Religion, tradition, ceremony… All things I was exposed to more at school than at home, unless you count Neighbours, baked beans and a Cadbury’s family-size block (not that there’s anything wrong with that, right)? So it was an extreme honour when I was invited into my boyfriend’s family home to celebrate the Seder, the Jewish...
