Just another Melbourne food blogger…. July 29, 2011. October 3, 2011. I was rather inspired by our last visit to The Estelle. In particular, I fell for the duck prosciutto…which is a bit of a misnomer, given prosciutto is the Italian word for ham and as much as I love duck, it’s just not pig. Hmm, now there’s a t-shirt waiting to be printed. Says that the word prosciutto derives from the Latin. Which gave way to the modern Italian word. It’s got to be said that for what I create in the kitchen, I take a ...

Just another Melbourne food blogger…. The things I love. I haven’t posted anything since last September. Time tends to get away from you a bit family, work, moving house. One month becomes two, then six. I haven’t really been eating out as much either. A few places, but nothing new except for a trip to New Zealand. Cibo. In Parnell, just out of the Auckland CBD, was great, but I forgot to take photos, otherwise I would have written a review. Coeliacs, look away now. I’m not talking about your s...Is a Bo...

Thank you for Smoking… – farfromfamished.com

Just another Melbourne food blogger…. Thank you for Smoking…. November 10, 2014. November 11, 2014. I love birthdays. Especially mine. It’s one of the only times of the year I can usually get away with frivolous purchases, without the follow-up question of “do you. Fortunately on a recent weekend, I headed up to a friend’s property near Geelong for a few days; a great opportunity to load the smoker into the boot of the car along with several kilograms of ribs and some chicken. Baby Back Ribs on the left,...

Just another Melbourne food blogger…. December 11, 2014. December 12, 2014. Several weeks ago, I had a go at making my own bacon. This was my second foray into the world of simple homemade charcuterie, after duck prosciutto. Which I recommend as a good entry-level effort to the craft of curing. To make it smoky, you can lightly spray the meat with a liquid smoke before it’s popped into the oven. The one I bought from Misty Gully. After unsuccessfully widening my search to incorporate the surrounding subu...

Just another Melbourne food blogger…. Hainanese Chicken and Rice. Was a far more sporting challenge. Hainanese Chicken from the Chinese island province of Hainan is actually known as Wenchang chicken, which is not to be confused with UK’s new wave pop group. Wenchang actually means ‘white cut’. Did I find my utopian chicken and rice? Surprisingly, the best and most consistent chicken and rice was from none other than China Bar. Very few ingredients go a long way. I’ve made a few modifications, whic...

Just another Melbourne food blogger…. ESP – 245 High St, Northcote. Well, hello there! It’s been a while since my last post. In fact, I’d dare say that my vain attempts at even considering myself as a part-time food blogger would be stretching the truth. But in an effort to possibly be the first person to publish a review of Scott Pickett’s newest incarnation, Estelle by Scott Pickett (aka ESP), I’ve decided to come out of food blogging hibernation. Basically, things have gone up several notches. In ...

The Estelle + Truffles = Love – farfromfamished.com

Just another Melbourne food blogger…. The Estelle Truffles = Love. July 8, 2014. July 8, 2014. A refresh of The Estelle. Is, so far, paying dividends. It sounds a bit weird given it only opened three years ago, but things appear to move pretty fast in Scott Pickett’s world. In a little over the last twelve months he’s opened Saint Crispin. With Joe Grbac. Then last October, chef and business partner, Ryan Flaherty, left the business to start his own restaurant, Mr Jennings. And to my not-so-subtle segue.

Just another Melbourne food blogger…. Gua Bao Part 1. I missed the beginning of the Bao phenomenon. I must have been looking the other way or sick that day. I guess they were probably made famous throughout the western world by David Chang’s momofuku Pork Buns. Here in Melbourne, Wonderbao. I’ve had steamed buns before. Lots of times. But I have simply known them as ‘steamed pork buns’ and didn’t think anything else of it or really care. Several weeks ago I attended the launch of lil nomnoms. Being the e...
