If you’ve been following me on Instagram you’ll know that I’ve been obsessed with baking lately! W bought me Pierre Herme’s Macaron book for Christmas last year and has created a monster.. I’ve made about four batches so far – peppermint, lavender and salted-butter caramel (my favourite).

Pictures from lunch at District Dining with the crew. The food there is excellent – best I’ve had in Sydney a while. Service was impeccable and the desserts are tops. I love finding awesome new places to blog about!
Highly recommended: the crispy school prawns with lime mayonnaise, my personal fave – steak tartare, duck confit, the parmesan gnocchi, and the chocolate mousse was divineeee…
Hope you’re having a lovely weekend!

Going through a bit of a Macaron phase (again)! How cute is this one with the little heart on top from Robocog Cafe in Surry Hills?

Saturday was rather serendipitous – in the morning it was Vic’s Meat Market Day which was perfect timing for Dr G’s for a BBQ later that evening. It was my first time at the Market Day and I love it! Vic’s sell the best quality meat in Sydney I think. I bought so much! Thankfully they have an industrial sized vacuum sealer there, I have some amazing steaks in the freezer for later this week.

We were in the city shopping last night and walked past a new chocolate shop at the Strand Arcade called Bon Bon at the entrance where the old Jurlique store used to be.
“Ooh, Bon Bon!” I said. W (being French) corrected me and told me you don’t pronounce the N. “So.. it’s Bo Bo?” I replied without thinking. If I was sitting on a metaphorical chair I would have fallen off it laughing at what I just said.. LOL.
The French have a way of making the simplest words sound quite different to my Asian ears. I am endlessly amused/charmed by how W pronounces “blue”.
The chocolates were delish!
