Quinoa Broccoli Bites
While I enjoy eating pastured, organic animal products (very much), I’m very conscious that as a whole the Australian population eats much more than we really need, nutritionally, contributing to a global problem of meat production that is not sustainable in the long term. For this reason, I make a conscious effort to take 1-2 days a week where I eat … Read More

A Day in Dijon
A Day in Dijon The city of Dijon is situated in the mid-east of France, roughly halfway between Geneva and Paris. It is one of the two most famous cities in Burgundy, the other being Beaune. In my opinion, any city where you can find traditional Maille Mustard on pump (ie. like a beer tap/pump) is somewhere definitely worth a visit. I spent a … Read More
