Surf or turf?
Surf: I live near it and breathe it every day.
Eastern delights or Western bites?
Eastern delights: Eastern food blew me away 20 years ago, and the allure of the exotic gets me every time, and those explosive flavours…
Restaurant dining or home cooking?
Home cooking: This part of my life dominates, and my kids are still very young.
Cooking for friends or cooking for the kids?
Cooking for the kids: Emerging palates mean I’m experiencing everything all over again in a different way – what a privilege!
Hot hot hot or cold platters?
Cold platters: I love simplicity and when I’m worn out from cooking, a platter of deli cold cuts and the perfect salad is perfection.
Sweet or savoury?
Savoury: my palate is more attuned to salt, which is not say there isn’t room for both in my life
Big breakfast or leisurely lunch?
Leisurely breakfast: because these happen only the weekends, are therefore are always a special occasion and feature many courses of perfect foods, such as local levain with the crispest crust, orange-yolked organic eggs, rocket from the garden, ripe in-season fruit, a homemade jam or artisan honey; you get the picture… the epitome of what I like to eat.
Supermarkets or farmer’s markets?
Farmer’s markets: no question, it’s the way I keep in touch with my world.
Comfort food or light & low fat?
A continuous circle: one begets the need for the other!
Europe or Australia?
A continuous circle: Australia is always home but Europe lures and excites, always, and luckily the world seems to be getting smaller and I get to enjoy the best of both worlds.
