D’Arry’s Verandah, McLaren Vale | Monday, March 28th, 2005

Today is a glorious Autumn day, 24oC and beautiful blue skies - what could be better than a short drive down to the Fleurieu for lunch, wine and a walk along the nearby beaches to burn (some of) it off? The hardest part was deciding between the quality restaurants in the area: Salopian Inn; Star of Greece; Lake Coolangatta Cafe (reviews coming soon!). We decided on D’Arry’s Verandah.

Pecan Afternoon Tea Cake | Monday, March 28th, 2005

This cake is a real delight - light, fluffy and not too sweet. Flourless and no added fat (the pecans make up for that!). It’s based on one provided in Stephanie Alexander’s “must have” book A Cook’s Companion.

Zen Chinese Restaurant, Magill | Thursday, March 24th, 2005

It is with excitement I became aware of Zen Chinese Restaurant at Magill having tanks of live fish and eels from The Advertiser. For me, Chinese is one of the world’s greatest cuisines - and for a restaurant to go through the difficulty of maintaining live produce shows effort beyond most other local suburbans.
